What is stress analysis Ansys?

Stress analysis is a very important task for engineers in civil, mechanical, aerospace and many other subjects. Although it is called stress analysis, it looks for both stress and strain over the structure so that to determine the condition of a structure under external loads.

What is meant by stress analysis?

Stress–strain analysis (or stress analysis) is an engineering discipline that uses many methods to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures subjected to forces. Stress analysis is also used in the maintenance of such structures, and to investigate the causes of structural failures.

Which software is used for pipe stress analysis?

Caesar II introduced in 1984 from Intergraph Corporation is the most widely used software for pipe stress analysis. Caesar II allows accurate and quick analysis of piping systems that are subjected to thermal, weight, pressure, seismic, and wind. Caesar II can be used to analyze piping systems of any complexity or any pipe size.

What is the difference between AutoPIPE and Caesar II?

AutoPIPE considers rigid bodies to be 100 times stiffer than the connecting pipe material. CAESAR II multiplies the pipe wall thickness by 10 to make it rigid, keeping the pipe inside diameter, and the weight of the element unchanged. I am a piping stress engineer with 7+ yrs experience.

What is Caesar II used for?

Caesar II allows accurate and quick analysis of piping systems that are subjected to thermal, weight, pressure, seismic, and wind. Caesar II can be used to analyze piping systems of any complexity or any pipe size. It is licensed by almost all over the engineering firms of the world.

What are peak stresses in piping design?

The stresses which cause fatigue failure in the piping are the peak stresses. In piping design, most of the loading cycles encountered would be of the low cycle type; Characteristics of High Cycle Fatigue. Characterized by a high number of cycles (Preferable N>10^4) with relatively low-stress levels and the deformation is in the elastic range.
