Background:
I have a utility that calculates the linearized stress distribution from FEA results (component by component). It outputs a table at each end end of the SCL that includes: 1) membrane and bending values for each component, 2) vonMises and Tresca (S.I.) calculated from Sm+Sb...
I originally posted this question in the "ASME (mechanical) Code Issues Forum" under "Engineering Codes, Standards & Certifications"
Subject: SCL obsolete?

TGS4 provided an excellent response (as always). It didn't get any other feedback...
I've been away from ASME certification for "a few years". Things have certainly changed with the 2007 code! After reviewing related threads in this forum, I'm wondering what's the common practice for applying FEA in design by analysis Section III and Section VIII, Division 2.
There are...
I am working on a general stress linearization routine that works with results from multiple FEA codes. As part of this work, I'd like to verify the accuracy of the calculations using industry standard benchmarks. Are there example problems I can run to demonstrate the linearized values I...
