HSS CRUSHING FORCE?
HSS CRUSHING FORCE?
(OP)
I have a hss foundation which will be on located on the ground. I need to find the force which will crush the hss. There will not be a moment on the piece I just need to prevent the vertical walls of the foundation from bursting outwards under design conditions.
Thanks
Thanks

Say your tube supported a baseplate 12" x 12" so the load is assumed spread over at least a 12" long piece of tube. You could assume that it spreads out a bit beyond the 12" by d" where d is the tube height....
But then model the tube vertical walls as columns with height = d and fixed top and bottom against rotation but not against sidesway (k = 1.2).

Just asking however, I haven't thought this one through yet.

AutoCAD Mechanical (not Mechanical Desktop) has a 2D FEA capability that I think would probably even be adequate to do what JAE suggests. I'm not familiar with how ANSYS works with Inventor but I assume it would be far more advanced. Some of the Inventor packages do include AutoCAD and AutoCAD Mechanical too.
