Well, the instruction I received on how to do this was wrong and I should have used bent tube element type, so I did that and it's working as it should now!
Thanks for all the feedback. I've deleted the elements and mesh along each curve and applied a curved beam type. However, the mesh still remains un-continuous as seen in my initial post image despite now being a curved beam type.
I'm using a beam with a circular tube cross-section. I used a centerline imported as geometry and meshed along the centerline. This is how I've been instructed to do these sorts of analyses. I've seen smooth bends, like the elements have been swept along the curve, using this same method. I was...
I'm modelling a pipe run and when the element thickness/cross-section is visible, the elements are just portrayed as straight partial tubes oriented along the curve of a bend. How do I apply the curve of the pipe bend (for which I have a centerline imported as geometry) to the elements for...
That's the procedure I'm writing, not from the standard. I was asking if there was anything listed in the ISO standard regarding doing which one first. But, during my drive home today, I realized that the standard requires that the generated noise level be 10 dB above ambient, so to have both...
Hey, y'all
I'm developing a test procedure following ISO 7235 to measure insertion loss of aerospace mufflers. The ISO standard's procedure is quite confusing and doesn't break it down to a step-by-step level, so I'm having a hard time.
Right now, I have the substitution duct being tested...
