    Construction tolerance - Definition of "Permitted Deviation"

    Thanks. NSCS calls "permitted deviation" = Δ, and so a) Δ = (Δ/2) + (Δ/2) according to NSCS and Δ = (+Δ/2)-(-Δ/2) accroding to EN 13670 <- correct! b) Δ ≠ (Δ) + (Δ) <- wrong!

    Construction tolerance - Definition of &quot;Permitted Deviation&quot;

    Thanks BigInch. Here is what exactly the code says: NSCS Guidance, 10.1: "the permitted deviation are generally twice the deviation, as the values are given as both plus and minus numbers, except where separate plus or minus values are given" EN 13670, 3.13: defines permitted deviation as...

    Construction tolerance - Definition of &quot;Permitted Deviation&quot;

    NSCS Guidance, 10.1 states that the permitted deviation (Δ) are generally twice the deviation, as the values are given as both plus and minus numbers, except where separate plus or minus values are given. EN 13670, 3.13 deifines permitted deviation (Δ) as the permitted algebraic differences...

    Merge nodes of coplanar faces in WB

    Here is a very simplified graphical representation of my model. A cantilevered plate with bolt fixing with defined compression-only on a portion of the surface underneath. In order for me to define the BC at a certain portion of the model, I sliced the plate into two parts before importing to...

    Merge nodes of coplanar faces in WB

    ...more information... By the way, these two faces are actually defined as bonded contacts. Thanks

    Merge nodes of coplanar faces in WB

    How can I merge the nodes of coplanar and geometrically unique faces inorder to give me a smooth stress contour at the interface. My model in workbench environment is supposed to be only one simple part but since I need to apply the loads on a particular portion on a face, I sliced it into two...

    Torsional Constant in AutoCAD

    Thanks skier. Please have a look at this thread: thread555-173004

    Doing too much with too little knowledge.

    Thanks Brian, All the while I was thinking that I can use frictionless contact on my bolt heads since I have contacts at the shanks. It now works without contacts on the shanks but "Frictional" on the heads and nuts. That's a great help. Cheers

    Doing too much with too little knowledge.

    One part is grounded and I thought it is possible just to rely on the bolts' contact, underneath their heads and around thier shanks, for the stability of the connected parts. Thanks a lot

    Doing too much with too little knowledge.

    Does this work in WB? All I just need from you guys is to tell me whether I am doing nonsense here or if otherwise—I just need to learn how to do it. I have an assembly in WB of 7 parts (every part with defined contacts, some are auto-assigned, some I simplified by taking away unused surfaces)...

    Torsional Constant in AutoCAD

    Haven't anyone yet come accross AutoCAD's (or Autolisp) capability on calculating the torsional constant of a section in AutoCAD? The same question has been raised by Sutki1 (thread555-173004)six months ago. Any Developements since then? Thanks, Larry

    Viewing Results of Only Selected Parts

    I would like to show the maximum stresses and deflection of each part of my simulation assembly in Workbench10. I tried to select the part I need to investigate and hide/disable all other parts but the stresses bar is still showing me the maximum stress of the entire assembly. I need to see...

    Compression Only surface

    I am analysing a base plate which I want the bearing surface to be active only under compression. I tried to use surface effect (SURF154) and specified the foundation stiffness (EFS) and set the surface tension (SURT) to a very small value. To test whether it works as a compression only, I...
