    ASME & Material 316/L & PVElite, Compress, AI Inspectorà.

    Seeking input/experience/comments on the use of Dual Grade/Certified 316/L. At issue – AI, internal engineers ( me among them ) and management are “uncertain” in addressing the use of dual grade material and how to document it on manufacturing drawings, GA drawings and in calculations using...

    Assembly analysis

    Any advice/comments/suggestions/experience with how many parts is maximum or rather worth assembling for force/pressure in CosmosWorks? Bascially if I'm assembly several components and applying various forces and pressures. When does CosmosWorks reach it's pratical limit? Does putting...

    AutoCAD 3D (non-Inventor) parts & assemblies into SolidWorks

    rollspswx astutely suggested that I start a new thread for this so here it is - AutoCAD 3D (non-Inventor) parts and assemblies to SolidWorks - is there a good/better/best format for doing this, i.e. sat, iges, etc? I'm currently importing the files/models/assemblies for FEA with CosmosWorks (...

    Modeling a FRP shell with internal pressure in an assembly and FEA

    This a post I have on the Cosmos forum but I haven;t gotten any repsonse so I thought I'd try here - I have an FRP ( fiberglass ) form that is being held by several external bracing "clamps". Basically the form is a W shape but with the the W vertices flat instead of pointed. The 'clamps" are...

    FRP material Properties

    I posted about this in my 'Shell/no shell" thread but figured it couldn;t hurt a repeat. Anyone have material property numbers that they "feel comfortable" with for CosmosWorks on FRP? I took some from ctopher's latest database and have been using them but a more complete "guesstimated" list...

    Shell or not? And how to apply pressure

    I have an FRP ( fiberglass ) form that is being held by several external "clamps" - bracing. Basically the form is a W shape but with the the W vertices flat instead of pointed. The 'clamps" are aluminum extrusions along length-wise being rigidly held in place by bolts. There is an internal...
