    Minor losses in a cooling circuit

    Hello all, I am doing the calculation of a cooling system for a cryogenic magnet. I would like to ask where can I find different values for the minor losses. I have already found some values for standard angles as 45deg or 90deg as well as for normal tees and wyes (45deg). Is it possible to...

    Results Ansys vs Catiav5

    Hello all, I have made a FEM analysis in Ansys a Catia V5. I have different results and I can't explain why, I attach a picture first of one error in Catia that I don't understand so well. The force applied had been 1000N. I attach also a picture in Catia with the system analyzed where it's...
