Hi, Quick question: What types of sand do usually go through a oil pipe? Thanks.

Hi, When I import an assembly into Ansys, it automatically creates connections. (I make sure that the setting under: Tools > Options > Connections > Auto Detect Contact on Attach is set to "Yes".) Next I change the names of the connections so that they are renamed based on definition. I now...

Hi, KD-621 in VIII Div.3 states that: - The average primary stress intensity based on the root diameter should not exceed: 1/1,8 * S_y. - The primary-plus-secondary membrane stress intensity: 0,75 * S_y - The primary-plus-secondary membrane plus bending stress intensity: S_y Say that I am...

That worked really well guys, thank you very much. Nice way to start off the week :)

I don't think that's possible when using Validation..

Hi, Here's what I'm working with: http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t282/Calc_photos/ExcelHelp01.jpg I have made a list of the different temperatures using Data>Validation. Using vlookup I've connected the temp with the yield stress values. I would like to hide the grayed out values. How can...

I think I will just do as you say electricpete, the users should be able to figure that out :) Thanks for the suggestion iken.

Hi, I've made a list using the Data>Validation tool. I was wondering if it was possible to make the drop-down icon (downward facing arrow) visible when the cell is not selected. Thanks.

Both your suggestions are working beautifully! Thank you very much

That stuff works great! Thank you very much

By the way, how did you do it?

Hi Clyde38, that looks great! Is it possible to use a drop down, instead of the thing you use? If not, this is still great. Thanks!

Hi, I have not used AutoFilter before, but a quick look at it tells me that it is not what I'm looking for. I would like to have the small database on a seperate worksheet, and have the drop-down on another sheet. I do not think this can be acheived using AutoFilter. Thanks

Hi, I have made a small database of different material types in excel. First column contains the name of the material, and the other columns are material properties. I would like to make a drop-down list where I can choose a material and have excel automatically give the material properties in...

Hi, I have a bit of a dilemma. Say I have a section of thick-walled pipe with two blind flanges that is to be pressurized to 22,5k psi. I now want to penetrate the pipe wall so that I can add an instrument. The instrument consists of a flange that has a hole in the middle. I want to take a...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has done a FEA and met the criteria given in KD-230 of the ASME VIII div3 2008a standard? I am puzzled by he total accumulated damage that needs to be defined. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

I remembered. In-part copy :) If someone is interested in a detailed explanation, I will be happy to write one out for you.

Hi, I have made an model symmetric around an axis from which I would like to extract a 2d surface. I've revolved several parts 90degrees and assembled them. I would not like to use the surface for FEM analysis. I know there is a way to do this in SolidEdge, I just can't remember how. Anyone...

Hi, I'm comparing the basic design requirements from 2004 with 2008 and have found some changes which I do not completely understand. KD-240 Elastic-Plastic Analysis from 2004: b) A design margin of a t least 1.732 shall be applied to the load that causes the strain to exceed 5% at any point...

Hi, I am getting some funny results when using thermal condition. I just put a uniform temperature on, not higher than 225degC (437degF) and run a Static Structural analysis to look at the von mises equvalent stresses. I have one fixed constraint, and no other forces/moments. The material is...
