Hello All,
When doing a Finite Element study (of a steel component for example), suppose that we have a very good mesh and a very good model, I want to know if there are safety factors related to the finite element study to measure the difference of the results in comparison of the reality?
I...
Hello Everybody,
As I know, the Von Mises Criterion is based on energy. “Von Mises” say that a point of the material (an elastic linear isotropic material) reach the plasticity when the energy (calculated at this point) resulting from the deviatory part of the stress tensor is equal to the...
Hello Everybody,
I’m now working a welded structure. The purpose of the study is to decrease the weight and keep a safety factor equal to 1.5
I tried to do a local study of one part of this structure, so I decided to isolate this part (to refine mesh and gain calculation time). The problem is...
Hi every body,
I’m a new in finite elements analysis method and I have some questions:
- What are the best procedures that must be used to obtain a finite elements model that reflect the reality?
- How we can trust to finite elements softwares?
- Does it exist standards and specifications to...
Hi every body,
I’m actually working with CatiaV5R15. I have some questions about the assembly analysis and the meshing methods. So:
- Given a volume (solid) form, how can I do a manual, regular and trustful meshes without utilising the automatic mesh generation (the only purpose of the...
