    BTW, of course I'm going to seek experienced help a bit later, this is some pre-project stuff, actually we have make an offer.

    ASME B16.5 design confirmation

    1) Thats very weird, in mine it seems to be pretty clear (see attached) but why would they give you the dimensions then. 2) yes I guess being able to x-ray it is a big plus. Setting that aside for a bit did I use the standard correctly? I mean ambient temperature+1300 psi+ASTM A516 gr...

    typo...... B shouldave read Could you elaborate why you wouldnt use it, what whould you use and why would it be your first choice?

    ASME B16.5 design confirmation

    Thanks for the response Mike, A) Its ambient temperature around 25C. B) Could you elaborate why you wouldnt use it, and why would it be your first choice? About that I also have a question on the standard that might be related, the copy I have says "slip on welding(NPS 1/2 to 2 1/2 only)"...

    ASME vs FEA

    Thanks for your responses, I believe the order of the tet elements used in Inventor is higher so from what I've read they should be able to model this stress scenario with one element thru the thickness, I ll check anyways About the stress distribution not being smooth I believe thats because...

    ASME vs FEA

    Im sorry if im being rough but did you read my post? Im asking if someone could check THE SPREADSHEET on that forum, it relates only to asme code calculations. All of the FEA/Inventor stuff is already checked in different software and by people who do use Inventor, I want someone with ASME BPVC...

    ASME vs FEA

    I tried posting this yesterday and somehow it just didnt get posted, here it goes: I posted this on the autodesk forums: So, im trying to compare results from calculating a torispherical head according to ASME VIII with the model dimensions, with an 8 mm thickness the ASME calculation...
