I want to model beam with simple load on center of beam. I am using BEAM 188 element.
The beam is suspended on two cables(tension only).
For my cables, I am using LINK 180 element.
How to connect LINK 180 elements and BEAM 188 element in Mechanical APDL so I don't get:
A large pivot value...
Is it possible to import geometry from 3D modeling software as SolidWorks, make analysis in ANSYS Workbench, but get result similar to results that one can get by using ANSYS Mechanical APDL' Element table. (Fx,Fy,Fz,Mx,My,Mx).
When I look at ANSYS Mechanical APDL Element Reference, SOLID186...
I have STEP model of simple spreader (I beam) with two lifting lugs for my home assigment. I want to simulate liffting of 2 ton load with my spreader. How to simulate lifting (lifting chains)in Ansys Workbench 16 only to transfer movment. What constraints to use. I don't need stress in lifting...
Can EN 13455-3 code be used for design of pressure vessel that will be part of machine temporary placed on offshore platform. Or should it be ASME BPVC Section VIII ?
I am little confused regarding this problematic. Platform is for example in Norwegian continental shelf.
Which code (standard)...
