Hi guys.
According to ASCE rules the soil should be represented as non linear springs in FEA of buried pipelines.
My understanding is that uplift stiffnes includes the soil weight since it depends on how deep the pipe is installed.
However, recently a geotechnical professional told me that in...
Hello all!
Does anybody know if it would be OK to use ASCE rules to establish spring stiffness for submerged pipelines in order to analyse VIV according to DNV F105?
Thanks a lot.
Dear all
I need to check an API 6A flange, so while verifying the bolt stress I am not sure about which area I should use. Normally ASME uses the bolt root area but I heard that by using API I should use another.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Hello everybody!
I have a parametric apdl model and the idea is to run many analysis for differents situation. The objective is to get only the maximum displacement and stresss of the system. So to optmize the analysis I need the print DMX and SMX and further I will use workbench to run many...
Hello all
I needed to check the possibility to increase the working pressure of a flange above the pressure-rating given by asme b16.5.
The pressure rating is 15.8 bar. The demand is to work up to 18.6 bar.
In order to verify the possibility I used the ASME VIII code procedures and...
