pipe elbow FEA
pipe elbow FEA
(OP)
Hi
I want to check stress in carbon steel elbow (this is preinsulated underground hot water pipeline). I know all forces (axial, transverse, moment) but don't know where to put them.
Should the elbow at one end should be constrained and on the other one I should put loads?
Thanks in advance.

expansion
axial forces
transverse forces
moments
Than I calculated stress by von Mises formula and now I want to compare it to FEA.
I tried Autodesk Fusion 360 but I have problem how to put forces. One bend end is constrained
moment is working onZ-X plane.
