How to determine the bursting pressure of a tank by ADINA?

[hoodzhj]

Anybody know the steps to do an analysis for determining the bursting pressure of a tank by ADINA?

Thank you

Why are you still using ADINA?

Why not?

Create geometry, apply loads & fixities, mesh, run, compare results to failure criteria?

(i) This code probably has less 1% of the FEA market in USA
and Canada.
(ii)For over 10 years, its competitors like ANSYS, ABAQUS
and MARC are getting stronger and stronger in terms of
analysis capabilities and easy to use.
(iii) I heard that 90% of its users are in Germany, North
Europe and Japan.

So I don't see any future for this code.
