I've asked the originator of the drawing, he was on holiday so I've had to wait a few days until his return. It turns out it is an hydraulic actuator that's mounted on a valve, but the symbol was created because there wasn't one with the drawing template or in the symbols library. I've had the...

Thanks for replying pennpiper. I did a web search and nothing came up. I also checked the legend but it wasn't on there either. I haven't spoken to the Lead Process Engineer, I'll do that first thing when I get into the office. Thanks again.

Hi all, I was going through a P&ID today and I saw an unfamiliar symbol, I think it might be an hydraulic actuator, but I'm not to sure. It's a circle with a curly tail. I had a look through the ISO standards but nothing came up. Can someone please provide an answer. I've attached a picture...

Hi All, Can some please give me some advice on a hydraulic submersible pump. My knowledge of pumps is quite limited. I'm going to be using the pump as part of a jet washing system that will be used to clean the dirt from the walls of a large concrete reservoir. A nozzle will be attached to the...

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know how SolidWorks simulation solves for deformation after a force has been applied. I've been trying to find some info but there seems to be nothing. yours Mu.

Thanks desertfox. I spoke to a stress engineer today, and he's given me a rough idea how to tackle the problem. I was having trouble of how to work out the bending moments on the sliding joints (were the stages overlap). It seems that the stages can be modeled as lever arms. All I need to do...

Hi All, I've been asked to calculate the bending moments of a 4 stage telescopic boom. I've looked at the BS ISO standards for crane design but there's nothing about a telescopic crane. The crane has to pickup 500kg's using a grab at the max extension of 4m (horizontal). Can someone please...

Anyone?

Hi all, I've just started using NX 8.5 to do some analysis work on composite parts, and I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding how to use the "laminate" tools. Here's what I've been doing. 1. Model a part - Solid 2. Then go to the "Advanced Simulation" tab 3. New FEM and Simulation -...

Hi Dave, I working on a figure of 200,000MWh per year. It's going to be a very very large solar installation.

My Latitude is 51 Degrees, Longitude is 0 Degrees. I'm in England.

Hi, Thanks for replying quickly. Does the solar isolation or the panel efficiency not effect the number of panels? (this is probably why I'm getting the wrong answer). I've looked at so many different websites, and most give different ways if calculating this.

Forgot to add something: 4 Peak hours of sunshine per day.

Hi all, Could some please help me with a calculation. I'm trying to work out how many panels I would need. I'm coming up with millions of panels. I really think I'm going wrong somewhere. Here's the info Solar Isolation: 0.5kwh/m^2/day Total energy required per hour: 136 Mega Watts Panel...

Hi all, I seem to have a problem and I have no idea how to fix it. When I boot-up Workbench a error box pops up saying something about ansysWBU.exe has encountered a problem, and it also mentions that a file has been written to a folder. Not too sure whats going on. Last time I used it, I...

Sorted it. Didn't realize that N.m could be changed to mN.m in document properties - units.

Hi, I'm currently using motion analysis to workout the required torque to rotate a part, but I've run into a problem. The motion analysis settings for the units of torque are N.m, how do I change this to mN.m? Is there also a way to get the torque values without using a graph, just the...
