Nozzle Pro

[innovation2]

Anyone have any information regarding training for Nozzle Pro. I am looking a book to start out with, like "Nozzle Pro for Dummies" or something like that. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

I don't of any book. They do have a training course but I didn't attend. I spent some time going thru the software and changing variables to see how the results varied to make sure that my inputs were in the right direction and to see how sensitive it was to minor changes; did comparisons against hand calcs, etc.

I think it provides fairly good results for most cases. You have to be careful with the local v. global because that can mess you up.

That's interesting regarding Nozzle Pro.

I've been doing a lot of Nozzle Pro FEA. This has been a
valuable tool in conducting quality checks of the FEA submitted by the Contractor/Vendor.
