Modelling Piping T Joint in Ansys
Modelling Piping T Joint in Ansys
(OP)
Hi :
I am trying to model a Tee-Joint Piping in Ansys.
What I have done so far is modelled to 2 cylinders of 8 inch radius intersecting at 90 degrees to each other. Next I am trying to create a fillet area of 24 inch radius at the intersection. However, Ansys is having trouble creating that fillet. Can someone suggest a better technique to model a Tee Joint.
Thanks

RE: Modelling Piping T Joint in Ansys
The old-school way to approach it would be to calculate the bending/torsion/shear and apply appropriate stress concentrations from Peterson's. That should get you in the ballpark.
