    Tensile Concrete Design

    This is a circular foundation for a cryogenic tank. It incurs hoop and radial stresses, some of which due to thermal changes. The thermal changes may cause combined bending and tensile stresses in the foundation. Let's assume the section I am looking at has a positive moment and tensile...

    Tensile Concrete Design

    I am evaluating an existing foundation that may or may not have tensile loads throughout the section. The section has both tension and compression steel. My thought on evaluating the tensile load was to determine if the tensile steel can carry the entire load. If it can carry the entire load...

    LNG Design Guidelines

    I am writing a spec for a geotech report and I'd like to reference the following: "Seismic Design Guidelines and Data Submittal Requirements for LNG Facilities - Draft" This document is dated 2007. I was wondering if this has since become an official document or is it still in the draft phase...

    API 650 Appendix P

    Appendix P discusses the allowable external loads on tank shell openings. The first paragraph states that P.2 discusses limit loads and that P.3 discusses allowable stresses. The latest edition of 650 has removed P.3 in its entirety, but does not compensate for the lack of allowable stresses...

    10d Common Nail

    Does anyone know the shear strength of a 10d common nail? Is there a website that might list such capacities?

    Units

    Yes, but the problem is, I already redefined some values. For example, in English units, I would rather have ft^3 than have gal, so I redefined that value in the solution. But when I try to convert to SI units, the gal remains. There are several instances of this sort of example and it is...

    Units

    Is there a way to change units with the click of a button? I have a workbook template created for my group which was written in English units. I changed a few values (gal to ft^3, for example), so now they are "permanent" units in the workbook. A collegue of mine is using my template for a...

    Printing Questions

    Thanks for the help, but this will not work in my application. Not all of the inputs are in the beginning. And some inputs I want to have printed and others I do not. My ultimate goal would be to write a VBA macro that has 2 print options. One option would be for the customer printout and...

    Printing Questions

    1. I would like to have my inputs highlighted. This way, if someone were to use my workbook, it would be very easy for him to see what values may need changed for his design. However, I do not want the shading to print. A shaded area would make no sense to our customer and it looks...

    How to view code in Ansys 12

    I am not sure how Workbench works, but if you are using APDL launcher, a file should be created in your working directory titled <FILENAM>.log. The .log file will have the written code. Hope this helps!

    Knowledgeable in FEA, But New to ANSYS

    I am also just learning the ANSYS software. I recently purchased "ANSYS Tutorial Release 12.1" by Kent L. Lawrence. I suggest looking into that book for a step-by-step guide.

    Numerical Equation

    This is a very simple example to easily define my Mathcad question. I have: x:=2 y:=5 x+y=7 Is it possible to have: x:=2 y:=5 x+y=2+5=7 Any help is appreciated.

    Tables in Mathcad

    Thanks for the help. I ended up reassigning all of my units, so that Mathcad still "converts" units, but everything is essentially unitless. For example, I said ft:=1 in:=12*ft Now, Mathcad thinks there are no units.

    Tables in Mathcad

    Is it possible to put arrays of varying units in a table in Mathcad? Here is a simplified example of what I want to do: i:=1..4 N[i:=1,2,3,4 L[i:=2ft,4ft,7ft,9ft Then when I try augment(N,L) I get an error because the L array has units. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.
