    Creep Material Coefficients for 304 SS

    I've been trying to find material coefficients for 304 SS to use for a first order creep hand calculation using Bailey-Norton law, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any references?

    2D Plane Stress in Workbench

    I'm currently using an evaluation license of ANSYS Workbench 14.5. I decided to try to do a Hertz contact stress problem of a rod in a vee-groove using 2D plane stress idealization and symmetry. The analysis properties were changed from 3D to 2D and geometry was created in DesignMolder. The...

    Criteria for Evaluating FEA Packages

    I'm currently in the process of evaluating several different FEA packages and I'm trying to be as objective as possible when comparing packages against one another. I've started to put together a KTA chart to score different criteria to help in the decision process. I've come up with a couple...

    Application of Rule #1 (Taylor Principle)

    Given the following: What is the tolerance on the Flatness of Datum Feature A? a)The flatness is not toleranced. b)0.3 c)0.5 d)1 Originally, I thought it was (a) because a +/- dimension is equivalent to taking a measurement with calipers/mic (meaning the only control is the width at any...

    Datums Required for Hole Position

    I have what I hope is a pretty straight forward question. When placing a hole position tolerance, are 2 or 3 datum references required? Take the drawing below: If the hole is a through hole, does the call-out need to reference Datum A? A primary to B and a secondary to C leaves one DOF free...

    Datum Axis Not Showing

    I'm using Wildfire 3.0 and I've noticed that whenever I add an axis to my model, it will show up in the model tree, but not in the model window. Here are two pictures to illustrate what I mean. Here you can see the axis because I have it selected in the model tree http://i.imgur.com/K9bC5.png...
