    FE reports as reference and "Mesh safety factor"..

    I totally agree with you Corus that in the industry the FE studies are not done just for “f”. I’m looking for FE studies done for industrial purposes to establish a trustful methodology. The problem of benchmarks is that they are based (the result is compared to) on theoretical/analytical...

    FE reports as reference and "Mesh safety factor"..

    Hello All, When doing a Finite Element study (of a steel component for example), suppose that we have a very good mesh and a very good model, I want to know if there are safety factors related to the finite element study to measure the difference of the results in comparison of the reality? I...

    Von Mises Criterion limitations...

    Hello Everybody, As I know, the Von Mises Criterion is based on energy. “Von Mises” say that a point of the material (an elastic linear isotropic material) reach the plasticity when the energy (calculated at this point) resulting from the deviatory part of the stress tensor is equal to the...

    how to model border conditions :part welded to a non rigid body

    Hello Everybody, I’m now working a welded structure. The purpose of the study is to decrease the weight and keep a safety factor equal to 1.5 I tried to do a local study of one part of this structure, so I decided to isolate this part (to refine mesh and gain calculation time). The problem is...

    Assembly analysis and the meshing methods

    Thank you JacobL for warning me about such things, I have done finite element simulations for different structures and I found that some results can be improved by doing a regular mesh. These simulations were done for simple geometrical form (rectangular volumes…). I tried many times to do a...

    finite elements model that reflect the reality

    Hi every body, I’m a new in finite elements analysis method and I have some questions: - What are the best procedures that must be used to obtain a finite elements model that reflect the reality? - How we can trust to finite elements softwares? - Does it exist standards and specifications to...

    Assembly analysis and the meshing methods

    Hi every body, I’m actually working with CatiaV5R15. I have some questions about the assembly analysis and the meshing methods. So: - Given a volume (solid) form, how can I do a manual, regular and trustful meshes without utilising the automatic mesh generation (the only purpose of the...
