    How to determine cylinder pressure?

    I am calculating the velocity at the orifice of a pneumatic cylinder using Bernoulli's equation. I need help determining the pressure inside the cylinder (P1). The pressure inside the cylinder is not simply F/A due to the presence of the orifice. When applying Bernoulli's equation, I assumed...

    RISA 3D vs Solidworks Simulation

    I currently use Solidworks Simulation to analyze A-Frame capacity (See picture). My question is, (1)Should I purchase RISA 3D or Solidworks buckling addon to analyze the stability of the A-Frame? (2)Does RISA provide additional insight to whether or not the A-Frame can support the load? If...

    Boundary Conditions

    I'm using solidworks to simulate. (I'm new to solidworks simulation and FEA in general) Problem 1. Ends of shaft are fixed. 2. torque is applied to collar. 3. I want to determine the stress on the collar and shaft when torque is applied to collar. Questions - Boundary Conditions What boundary...

    Buckling Analysis of A-Frame

    I'm trying to determine if the column (column forming the "A") will buckle. Is my analysis too conservative or not conservative enough? Assumptions 1. Load is being supported by 4 members equally. 2. Section A-A and B-B are the same. Reference picture. Approach to Solution 1. Calculate The...
