B31 Fatigue Analysis for PORTHACOURT

B31 Fatigue Analysis for PORTHACOURT

(OP)
PORTHACOURT  asked from within an unrelated thread how to learn to do B31 Pressure Piping Code type fatigue analysis using the Caesar II software.

There are 2 issues here.  First one needs to learn how to use the software (quite easy really) and second, one needs to learn the B31 Code.  I would suggest that both of these things can be aided by going to the discussion boards at the COADE web site - www.coade.com. ; This board welcome questions from all regardless of what software is used.  I would suggest reading through all the previous questions and answers before posting.  Of course, there is no substitute for simply sitting down and reading the Code.  For B31.3 there is a good book by Glynn Woods (CASTI Publishing)that provides theory, background and even includes solved example problems.  Eventually, go to a seminar which is taught by a B31 Code Committee member.

Good luck, and never hesitate to ask questions.

Regards, John.

Hello Portharcourt,

Well, thanks to the internet you are connected to a vast amount of information.  By all means, ask for help at the Caesar II (C2) board.  There are also many previous issues of the COADE newsletter available at:

http://www.coade.com/newsletters/menlist.htm

The newsletter always seems to include interesting articles on modeling and setting up load cases.

The issue of wind and waves and how to set up load cases for the analyses has been discussed in the newsletters and (I think) on the discussion board.  The board is a very good place to ask for help from the C2 users and from COADE.  Remember, "a well defined problem is half solved".  I hope to "see" you at the C2 discussion board..

Regards, John.
