NSAS software application
Thread Content
Sea friends: Have you ever used the legitimate version of the NSAS software? How effective is it? It can be bought there. Compared to ANSYS, which is more practical, accurate, and convenient for calculating concentrated loads, external loads, and local loads on pressure vessels? Users who have used it, please share your opinions.
I also learned about this software recently from the manufacturer; it is said to encapsulate finite element models along with other elements. It isn’t yet widely used, but at least it means there’s no longer a need to seek alternative solutions. I look forward to learning more about it*
Indeed, it isn’t widely used, and there isn’t much information available online either. I also learned about it from a design institute before.
I’ve looked into this. Are there any legitimate versions of this software that have been used? How is it working? Is it useful?
I’ve seen others use it before – it’s a specialized software for analyzing external loads on pipe fittings. There are many available models, and the input interface is user-friendly; it seems that once the appropriate model is selected, along with the materials, dimensions, weld leg height of the casing and fittings, as well as other operational parameters, the software can automatically create the model and generate the mesh. For more details, you can search on Baidu.
Many are using Wuhuan, Tianchen, Hualu, Chengda, Tsinghua, and Sinopec
Thank you, I found a trial version; the user interface is indeed very user-friendly. The only issue is that the key parameters cannot be modified, which prevents verification and calculation generation.
The results are not very different from those obtained using ANSYS; it’s quite useful
It is relatively convenient to use, but some forms cannot be calculated. Additionally, there are structural requirements for the calculation of many models; for example, if the length of the cylinder is insufficient, it is not possible to calculate the stress at the pipe openings on it
