Thanks Saikahirpara But I was actually looking for the associations between a given command and a branch in the tree itself. Not every command goes to the geometry branches. I can not find that in the manuals ijr

I am looking for a good reference on where and how the command snippets need to be inserted inside a Workbench mechanical tree. I do this all by trial-and-error. This one rejects the hacker-style method of learning stuff. I am not seeing progress at all. Help is needed. Any input will be highly...

Friends I first prestressed the model using INISTATE. Then duplicated it. In the duplicate, I loaded the second model with displacement loading only. I linked the second model to the first so that I can retrieve the results from prestress loading. The linking was successful because the second...

Friends I apologize for the long post. I need to run 2 analyses in the same Structural analysis in workbench 19. 2. First I prestress the solid model without invoking large deflection using INISTATE Apdl snippet on a link180 element attached to the solid in the model. I can do this...

KootK my additional thanks for your amazing support.

Friends I wonder if anyone of you has designed/used composite steel-concrete decks for large floors below ground. We usually use concrete moment frames/walls and solid floor slabs on the concern that thinner concrete in steel decks will not provide good rigidity and diaphragm action, and that...

My friends I have a 3D grid structure modelled in Autocad. That is, there are X planes, Y planes and Z planes (elevations). The only way I know I can view each single plane is by placing each in a separate layer, lock all then unlock the one I want to work with. Is there a better way you...

@ Mad Mike The stars? Do not even mention them. This place is a great place and there are amazing friends here. They will contribute with or without stars. Thank you. greetings.

OK Jayrod12 A book that an inspector/repair team would refer to in dealing with cracks that appear in a reinforced concrete building or structure in general. Strange that in RC handbooks I have read there is not a chapter on this. Thanks

Friends I will appreciate if you suggest a solid book on the subject of cracking of reinforced concrete members, the practical side of it. respects ijr

Friends I have a cantilever retaining wall with stem 23ft (7m) high. Over time it has rotated and the top displacement is h/70, ie (4" or 10cm). Sizing shows it is OK statically except in the case of poor drainage. But drainage is poor. It looks good though.There seems to be no soil mass...

My friends How does one specify epoxy adhesives for use to strengthen RC beams with steel plates? Sikadur -31 is popular in such applications among other adhesives, even used in post-tensioned girders. But what is the design parameter? Bond strength? Tensile strength to match that of concrete...

My friends I am looking for good design references/guides on the strengthening of RC beam (for flexure and shear) using externally bonded plates. Theory and practice if possible. While FRP is well-covered, this one seems not to be. Thanks for your time. respects, IJR

There is a problem with quotes just like with anything that is easy to abuse: they present a solution(a perspective) to a problem you do not have or currently is not of interest to you. It is like taking selfies, you just do it even if you do not really need it. So if you need a quote, get a...

Sorry for joining late. I vote not to overdesign, instead: 1)Search hard to see if there exist already standardized stuff: a)Some place somewhere somebody solved a similar problem, executed it and catalogued their work, b)German engineers steel use standard tables the way engineers did in the...

HardikY. You are the culprit. Your model is 2-D but your analysis is 3-D. Check the analysis settings and set them to 2-D. If this works, then read the analysis manually carefully before modeling. Or attend a short course. Trust me I am older than you. IJR

Henry 94 SAP2000 tendon is for pre-stressed concrete. It will probably not work around any other element. Here is what I would do: 1)Model the truss and the tendon as frame members making sure the eccentricity of the tendon w.r.t the bottom chord is well modelled. 2)You will have to...

Friends I am new to Ansys but doing well so far. The modeller screen (light blue that fades down the screen) however annoys me. How to change the background colors? thanks in advance ijr

dhengr: You are right and thanks. But here is the dilemma. It is the experienced engineers, architects, plant planners, planners of bridge layouts etc, who use ROTs regularly. Not the junior guys who are keyboard happy. Those are usually happy showing off the graphics capability of the FE...

The steel design book by Salmon and others, and the r.c design book by Salmon and Wang have detailed derivations of L/d ratios. thanks ijr
