I am facing problem of non-convergence in my model particularly in shell to solid coupling nodes. The connection is of I beam(no of) cross section(s) welded to flat plate((s)(above and below I section as column)). I beam is shell and plate is solid. Since there are lot of other components and...
One query troubling my mind-
How to consider the gravity(acceleration) in limit load or elastic plastic analysis? As ASME Sec VIII Div 2 Part 5-Table 5.4 and Table 5.5 suggests to use 1.5 and beta as the load factors on the dead weight/gravity load, which comes under the "D" category. How should...

I am compiling books which can help FE analysis engineers to validate their analysis results by reducing their problem to abstract problem and finding formulas for the abstract problem which these books provide for different possible scenarios(as a analogy consider beams with lot...
Can anyone give me information on which SAE automotive codes are used/refereed for the finite element analysis of components of passenger/heavy/commercial/off-highway vehicles/automobiles?
Dealing mostly in the FEA of pressure vessels and storage tanks according to ASME/API, I am curious about what analysis Procedures and corresponding codes used in the automotive/aero/aerospace/construction and mining equipment/off-road vehicles etc.
For example how an automotive/aerospace...
I have just gone through ASME Sec VIII Div 2 code interpretations and I am curious why code committee uses standard "Yes" or "No" reply to the enquired interpretation. Any background/foreground explanation other than simple Yes/No would enhance the proper understanding of code to the enquirer...
I am checking vessel to vessel support bracket integrity using FEA with vessels having high operating temperature with thick insulation which is also covering bracket. I am getting very high stresses as I constrained the bolt holes of fixed bracket (horizontal both directions)which is not actual...
I need general inputs regarding flange gasket joint modelling using FEA with respect to following points. I use ANSYS Workbench. But in general input regardless of software used would be also helpful.
1. How to model behavior of flange to gasket contact?
2. Which type of behavior will be close...
I have quite experience in solving design by analysis problems using ANSYS following ASME Section VIII Division 2 Part 5 rules. I know by practice some of the terminologies of the PART 5 and their physical phenomenon. But some terminologies and failure modes of the code I am yet to grasp fully...
