Computer IT Analyst to Stress Analyst Is it hard?

Computer IT Analyst to Stress Analyst Is it hard?

Computer IT Analyst to Stress Analyst Is it hard?

(OP)
Hi guys,

I just want to know if anyone of you know if it is hard to transfer to programming to a stress analyst? I've been learning Caesar II recently and designing seems to be easy. But is there anything I need to know or work on if I were to switch to this profession? I graduated a computer course btw... My dad wants me to try out stress so I'm gonna give it a try for awhile.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Computer IT Analyst to Stress Analyst Is it hard?

Trashton,
          Seems like you can use the Caesar II software so "yes" why not change your hat and call yourself a stress engineer like so many others out there. The fact that to do the job correctly means you probably need to know the background to the Codes, a BSc in mechanical engineering, know the Codal requirements inside out and be up to date with materials plus umpteen years experience goes by the board. So yep " go for it" just please advise of any Plants where you intend to "Stress analyse" so proficient Pipe Stress Engineers can keep away.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You don't design with Caesar. It's a clever desk top calculator, that's all. It's an analysis tool, and a very good one. It is no substitute for an engineer and neither are you.

Bravo C2it.....!!!!!!!!!!

For many years, there has been a movement in engineering management for MBAs to plop anyone down in front of any software and order "DESIGN"......"NOW"...!!!

"and....ummm... if you have any questions ask that one gray haired guy in the corner......"I have to go to a status meeting..!!"

Speaking as the gray hair who is fed up with these tactics and hiring practices, I applaud your comments and insight into the aquired skills necessary and the significant differences between a degreed "piping engineer" and a casual CII newbie

My opinion only......
