Thanks again for all your help, it's really been of help. With all the material everyone's been so kind to give me I've exposed the real situation to my superiors and everything worked out well. Right now we're assesing the situation and looking for a specialist.

Hi everyone.
I'm completely new to pipeline engineering and need to know how to determine the remaining life of a network's section. Here are some details:
-It's an oil pipeline network
-It's a 90º bent section
-The damage that has been reported is dents and wall thinning.
So right now I've...
Hello everyone!.
I've got a case where I have to simulate a pipe section of 90º that conveys oil (don't know if that's the correct name) to obtain its life expectancy. This topic is completely new to me and I'm looking for information sources as to how it can be done in ANSYS.
I would very...
Hi people, I'm in a bit of a problem in here. I've done what "ansys help" tells me to do: set the value for SALLOW, put SFACT to 1 and plot the nodal stresses, but still I'm getting the stress field and not the distibution for the safety factors.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks...
Thanks for your responses.
rickfischer51, sorry haha, I was vage on my description. Actually this is just an isolated case where I'm trying to reproduce the stresses in this panel due to a shear flow (the panel forms part of a closed cross section) and other loads, like pressurizing and bending...
Hi people, I'm new to MAPDL and having some trouble setting the boundary conditions for a model.
You see, I'm trying to simulate a panel that's subjected to shear flow, and two different axial loads. The problem is that I can't seem to make them work together. I was trying to apply reactive...
