    pipe schedule

    thx handleman... so its for preessure rating :)....but looks like it doesnt fit to tht anymore.. so conclusion... the numbers are just arbritary... :) thx rahul p.s...corb limey--- for tht meaning u would have to be close to the question --> earth ending soon... so rather happy "looking" for...

    pipe schedule

    hi just out of curiosity..... does anyone know what is the meaning of the numbers 40, 80, 100, etc when we refer to Schedule 40 ,Schedule 80, Schedule100 Pipes respectively... cheers Rahul

    global to local

    Greg, the global model is a model of a very big structure, and hence all the tiny brackets, are kind of approximate in this model.... once the results for this model comes out, i need to choose some of these brackets for further analysis, thus modeling with more accuracy.. also sometimes the...

    global to local

    dear engineers, i have carried out structural analysis for global model using ANSYS 11. now i have identified certain important local zones where i want to do a fine mesh analysis. 1) how do i apply boundary conditions from earlier results to these zones if i make a new model. 2) is there a...

    boundary condition for local model

    dear engineers, i have carried out structural analysis for global model using ANSYS 11. now i have identified certain important local zones where i want to do a fine mesh analysis. 1) how do i apply boundary conditions from earlier results to these zones if i make a new model. 2) is there a...

    load through table?

    hi, i have to apply load on beam. the load varies along the length, i have this load vs x in table format. how can i apply it on the beam in STAAD.Pro

    force using tables

    hi, i have applied Fy on nodes using a table. now i want to add additional Fy forces on some of these nodes directly without tables..these are based on user input so cannot add these in table.... but replace ve add doesnt work. anyone with any suggestion??

    superimposition of pressures

    Dear Wecos, thanx for the reply. i can see that it works well when i am using the SFCUM command when applying pressures on elements, but if i use it for pressures on areas, it doesnt work..... even if i transfer loads to FE from areas :(... is this sfcum command related to loads on elements...

    failure modes?

    thank you for the posts everyone.. we are worrying as we r responsible for submitting calcultions for this modification work and certify so tht the owner is worryfree :)

    failure modes?

    there is this contractor who is substituting a standard arm of an excavator to a much longer arm (lengthened about 50%). he is using this excavator to drive down some steel c sections (size about 150-200 mm) into ground (these piles are like temporary supports for main excavation). he says that...

    superimposition of pressures

    hi, i am trying to use programming with apdl. in this there may be instances where the same element is applied with different pressures. i am told by my senior that the pressures will be replaced when i do this. is there any way to "tell" ansys is superimpose the pressures on the elements rather...

    FEA in Geotechnical Engineering

    dear lovethecold, i have done my masters thesis using FEA... you will first need to understand that FEA itself is not generally the project/research, etc,... it is a very good and useful tool for whatever your trying to study... research in advancing the FEA method would mean it would mostly...

    for concrete engineers

    dear concrete engineers, what r the considerations, chemistry aspects, etc that i should be considering to ensure that the concrete obtained is water-tight. am already designing the structure for zero tensile stress using working stress method. i have learnt that some components like C4A in...

    Modelling Reinforced Concrete

    hi, is there a reliable method to model reinforced concrete structures? is that possible using ANSYS.. from STAAD i know that we can design for the reinforcement, etc.. but wht we intend is to model both concrete, the reinforcement, maybe also prestress, and also the interaction between the...

    effect of ship motions on containing sand

    dear aeliantexan,concmasonry and civilperson thanks for the response, 1)there is no scope for design for hatch covers, etc.. in fact i was thinking of using geotextiles.. but that too is over-ruled. hence have to just find out the dire consequences or limit the angle of slope(reduce capacity)...
