Thank you for the help so far everyone.
Let me provide some more context so you know what exactly the scenario is. The tube I showed above is actually a compressible plastic tube. At the point of deformation the tube is actually being pinched by a plunger (this is a tube for a machine that...
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the Reynolds Number (Re) of water in a tube that is slightly pinched in the center (see attached image). I'm trying to calculate the Re at the point of the greatest deformation in the center. From what I have found Re for this case could be calculated...
Hello fellow engineers,
I have recently started to learn about bushings to try and solve a problem that I have. Currently I have a bushing that holds an auger to push granulated food products through a a nozzle at the other end. The problem is that the bushing wears very quickly because the...
Thank you for the input so far. I guess I should also note that we use Creo 2.0 as our CAD software currently and compatibility with that program would be useful. I will look into the mentioned software, I know Abaqus can be quite expensive so if I am looking at purchasing multiple software I...
Hi everyone,
I have been tasked with determining the appropriate FEA software at my company. Only myself will be using the software, at least initially. In the past I have used LS-DYNA for about 1.5 years and ABAQUS and ANSYS for a fraction of that time (introduction to the software during...
Hello everyone,
I added features to an existing part and now I would like to make them into its own part. The thing is those features need to retain the shape after collision with the existing geometry. I added a picture below. If anyone knows a good way of accomplishing this or a better way to...
Hello Eng Tips,
I am using ANSYS 12.1 to obtain the mode shapes of a thin 2mx2m plate. This worked perfectly when using no symmetry BCs.
Now I am trying to obtain all these mode shapes/frequencies using quarter symmetry of the plate but when I setup the symmetry BC it seems to only have a few...
