How do I edit the stress calculation criteria and material properties?
Thread Content
Are things like the stress calculation for pressure pipelines per national standards and the allowable stress of materials, as well as the stress calculation for industrial metal pipelines and the required stress of materials, all different? However, in C2 software only ASME B31.3 and 106B materials are available; how can stress calculations for pressure pipelines and the allowable stress values of materials be included?
(1) Re-create the material database by yourself; the parameters for this database, such as allowable stress, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, coefficient of thermal expansion, yield strength, etc., can be found in standard reference books. (2) Remember: Do not create a material library from scratch; instead, open a material that is not used frequently and modify it on that basis before saving it. (3) Don’t ask me why; I don’t know either, but the material database that was created from scratch just doesn’t work. My own personal experience.
