Finite element analysis
Thread Content
I am hereby requesting the moderators to create a finite element analysis section within our stress analysis forum, so that users from Sichuan in this field can share their opinions.
Firstly, pipeline stress analysis uses beam element finite elements; I guess what you are referring to is shell element finite elements, but that is also supported! ! !
It must be supported; although it is used for equipment, an understanding of pipelines is also essential. With the increasing size of current devices, many pipelines require local stress analysis.
Support, support! This must be promoted – anything that helps everyone learn stress analysis deserves to be supported! ! ! In pipeline stress analysis, should the pipeline be calculated using beam elements?
I suggest combining our pipeline stress analysis and equipment into a single section, with sub-sections under it for equipment, pipeline stress analysis, and finite element analysis.
The poster, could you recommend an FEM software for piping analysis? I spent a long time looking for a cracked version of FE/PIPE, and ANSYS is too sophisticated; it’s hard to do anything without the right tools
Yes, ANSYS is too complex; it’s too difficult for beginners to master
Sure, I support it – there are too few people to communicate with at work. :). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It is recommended to create a dedicated Ansys section, as most finite element software is Ansys-based
