Hello,
As Meshparts has mentioned, APDL may be a good solution to this. You can get a decent idea of some of the basic commands for creating simple geometries through boolean operations from tutorials online. The link I provide below might be a good starting place for you. Since this kind of...
Hello everybody,
I've just started a new project somewhat outside of my usual work description and was wondering if you guys could provide some guidance for me, as the APDL command reference isn't quite answering my questions. I am essentially looking to build a parametric model of a tubular...
Hello all,
I have an application that requires two components being joined together using a stud and nut, where other factors do not allow the use of a bolt. The plan is to thread studs into body number 1, drop component 2 over studs and secure with nuts/safety wire. Based on infrequency of...

Look at figure 1. In the simplest of explanations, tensile load is pulling the crack apart, increasing its size, which decrease cross sectional area, thus increasing effective stress, and leading to our failure...
I am with CoryPad regarding this issue. I had to look into this issue a little while ago, because an engineer had once called out a rule on a drawing specifying "Increase torque by 10% when tightening nut rather than bolt". This sort of blanket statement set off a red flag with me. My "research"...
