    Hypermesh Unit conversions

    Hi, I know that Hypermesh is unitless, however I have a question. I've imported a model from CATIA and the software has converted the lengths and therefore a length that measures 10 inches in CATIA is coming up as 250.4 in Hypermesh. To put this right, I added a scale factor of 1/25.4, which...

    How do you change the coordinate system of a bar element?

    I know to do it for shell elements you select MODIFY-ELEMENT-SHELL ORIENTATION, but how do you do the same thing for a bar element? Or is there a simpler way of doing it? Thanks.

    How do I view beams as 3D sections

    Hi, I think this is a fairly straightforward question - I have a number of C section and L section bar elements, and I want to be able to see the beams as C section and L section beams rather than just lines. It's just so that I can check the orientation of the elements is correct. Thanks in...

    Ah I see, I wondered why everyone was over-complicating it, lol.

    How Convert 1 gal of chilled water to Tons

    It depends on what kind of ton, long, short or metric. 1000 litres of water weighs 1 metric tonne.

    calculating compression requirments

    You calculation is correct providing that the billets aren't round as they are in your diagram - your surface area needs to be the actual surface contact area between the billet and the support - it does seem like a very small area though! The compressive stress in the support will be the same...

    I am ambivalent about my job

    My job is OK, I neither enjoy getting up in the morning or hate it, my colleagues are mostly pleasant and the work is sometimes quite interesting, and at other times boring. In general, I just feel lucky to have a job that is relatively secure in these difficult economic times. Thank you DVD...

    GA drawings vs Engineering drawings

    In Aerospace, a GA drawing is a General Assembly drawing, which is a top level installation drawing, as opposed to a detail drawing or a smaller assembly drawing.
