Hi All, We have a request from client to design a sliding door system to resist explosion from 50kg of TNT at distance of 0.50 m. Now, I'm familiar with designing for blast resistant doors in petrochemical facilities, but this is something entirely different. Are there any design guidelines...

Hi, I have a query regarding fabrication of Cone transition piece. the cone transitions from 2000 mm to 1200 mm.the cone height is 3600 mm As per contract, only a single longitudnal seam is allowed. The fabricator cant roll such a long section, so he is proposing to roll the section in two to...

Hello All, In the case of open ended, tubular steel, friction piles, should we consider the weight of soil plug, inside the pile, as demand on pile ? Can it not be argued that the soil has done necessary readjustment to itself,whilst driving and thus the weight of plug has the same status as...

Can I get a help with process gas compression module structural system. Iam looking for layouts and SACS model if possible. Rgds Angre

Hi, Background : There is a existing three stage compressor module comprising of three compressors say A,B,C. A is the ist stage, B is iind stage & C is the iird stage compressor. The inlet conditions for A, B ,C will be different. There is no stand by compressor.So I would like to have a stand...

Hi, In a X-brace , is it possible to take advantage of tension member countering the buckling of compression member ? In that case is thee any literature or paper wherein this is quantified in numerical terms. Thanks

Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to get X Y Z coordinates on deformed structure. The structure is about 30 m long and 8 m wide.It is being fabricated and has to meet certain strict tolerances. I want to know whether it would be possible to get X Y Z coordinates of certain points...

Hi All, I need a 6mm thick steel from strength point of view. The fabricator does not have the capacity to bend 6mm thk plates. Instead fabricator is proposing to use 2 nos. 3mm plates, bend them and use them on top of each other. Spot welding will be used to ensure 2 nos. 3mm plates will act...

Can someone point me to a site, abook, or a .pdf where I can obtain hand written calculation and hand drawn sketch?

How can one edit load in Strand 7. As an example, if I have modeeled a beam and given a load of 10KN/m, and later on want it corrected to 20KN/m how should I proceed? Thanks

Dear All, How do I enable addition of new entity to the currently active group. Rgds Angre

It is recommended to use Stitch command when it is desired to have well formed meshes on plated structures. I was wondering about two things then :- 1) Why do we need to go to solids when the structure is made of plates. 2) Using this option , is there any other repercussion on plated finite...

Dear All, The only way I know of changing the group of a curve entity is Group,(Point,Curve,Surface...)(Id, color, On Surface ...). Is there a shorter way to achieve this? I tried selecting and then R-Clicking, but the option to change the Group was missing. Rgds Angre

Dear All, Other than difference in their way of construction, is there any difference between Boundary Surface and Surfaces. Or is it that,after they are constructed, there is essentially no difference between them? Rgds Angre

Dear All, Can somebody help me with explanation for difference between mapped meshing and free meshing. I have looked at help file, but I'm unable to identify the difference. Rgds Angre

Iam a FEMAP newbie. When I want to create a point, I go Geometry , point , then a dialogue box titled "Locate-Enter coordinates or select with cursor" This dialogue box has Method toolbar , which on clicking shows a lot of choices like Locate , Locate in workplane .. Onto curve Along Curve etc...
