Hi,
We have a large stainless steel storm tank (32m diameter but very shallow , 1m deep) that will be filled with water. We have calculated the hydro static pressue ok, but would like to calculate for the increased radial pressure if a thick layer of ice forms and expands .
Does anyone know of...
I am encountering an issue with FEMAP. When I export a model to a STEP file and save it, the scale of the geometry seems to change when I open the newly saved STEP file in FEMAP.
This issue also occurs when I try to import and merge the saved STEP file into an existing model.
The original...
When I mesh multiple surfaces at the same time, FEMAP automatically merges nodes that are close as shown in the image, which i do not want. If I mesh them individually, there is no problem and the surfaces mesh as expected. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Is there a setting/button I...
I've been speaking with a few colleagues in the FEA world, and I'm hearing more about Python being used for quickly extracting and post processing bolt stresses.
Is there something in FEMAP available that anyone can share? I presently have to list axial and shear loads, copy and paste them to...
We are designing a pipe system for transporting fluid, and wish to find a standard that defines the spacing of the various supports and other hardware that attaches it to the surrounding steel framework and ground.
Can anyone reference a good standard? Preferably a Eurocode, British Standard or...

When I extend an edge to a solid or surface, FEMAP automatically imprints a new line on the solid/surface (surface 1 in the below) . This is ok, until I extend an adjacent edge to another surface (surface 2 in the below) . The original remains, which can lead to sliver type elements when meshed...
I am modelling a large but repetitive lattice structure with beam elements. I will be modelling the bolted connections in more detail at the various joints in the structure.
Is there a pattern copy tool in FEMAP? I've seen it in Autodesk Inventor and other CAD packages where you can define the...
I am assessing a tank that will be filled and unfilled on a daily basis with water. I'm using FEA and have modeled the hydrostatic pressure. I usually work to Eurocodes but have yet to find anything useful in the various tank and silo codes. Just vague notes that I should assess hydrostatic...
