hi

I want to determine the number of cycles required to propagate a crack upto certain dimentions or vice-versa?

Does ansys APDL has that capability to do fatigue analysis of a growing crack.

my problem is analysis of elliptical corner crack present at shell nozle juntion. 

if yes,please tell what is to be done in ansys  13.0 APDL for this?

thanks and regards

Hi,

I want to model wire rope/sling as 1d-element in abaqus.

let me know the suitable 1d-elemet for wire rope/sliing.

I need to know how to to determine the work needed to push  water through a 20 foot thinwall plastic tube ( Polyethylene) with an inner diameter of 4 mm at a rate of 100, 250 and 500 mL/minute. The tube is level throughout. What pressure will I need? How much energy does this take ? Accuracy not needed just an approx figure will be fine at this time, as we will run testing later. The reason for need this is to select a pump for the job.

Thank you so much .
