    Life expectancy of oil piping

    Hello everyone!. I've got a case where I have to simulate a pipe section of 90º that conveys oil (don't know if that's the correct name) to obtain its life expectancy. This topic is completely new to me and I'm looking for information sources as to how it can be done in ANSYS. I would very...

    How to plot safety factors in apdl

    Hi people, I'm in a bit of a problem in here. I've done what "ansys help" tells me to do: set the value for SALLOW, put SFACT to 1 and plot the nodal stresses, but still I'm getting the stress field and not the distibution for the safety factors. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks...

    Load Case Combination

    Hi people, I'm new to MAPDL and having some trouble setting the boundary conditions for a model. You see, I'm trying to simulate a panel that's subjected to shear flow, and two different axial loads. The problem is that I can't seem to make them work together. I was trying to apply reactive...
