Asme section viii div 2 and api 6a require a local failure (triaxial stress) at every node is checked. This means the sum of the principal stresses must be less than 4Sm (For linear fea).
Is there a more efficient way to export these stresses or perhaps create a custom stress plot?
Exporting...
I am trying to design an aluminum angle in bending/flexure.
The aluminum Association 2005 looks at:
1. Local buckling of leg tip in max compression (which I understand)
2. Leg in uniform compression (which I understand)
3. Yielding for flange in compression at various orientations. Not sure I...
Hello,
I was wondering if you someone could help with a design issue I am having with TU8x8x3/16.
The tube is classified as a “Slender” tube due to the high b/t ratio when compared to values in the AISC Manual 8th and 9th edition. I have figured it out in the 13th edition (its more straight...
Hello,
I am trying to use Cosmosworks FEA to analyze a pressure vessel using shell elements.
The vessel R/t ratio is 150. The I-beam thickness is also "thin" compared to the width and height R/t = 15.
Am I correct in using shells for this analysis?
The vessel includes only internal pressure...
