Flange Check Peq - 01/23/12 11:00 AM

urgent

Very grateful I can help in this matter.
is the first time I'm asked to check a flange.

my model was exported from CADWorx, and when he found a flanged joint, does not consider, as two elements that are not, as a single rigid.
to check, please disconnect the drive?
Similarly caesar consider a flanged valve, as a single rigid, in that case, I also remove the rigid.

I can explain how data is entered for this type of analysis

thanks

Urgente

Agradeceria mucho, me puedan ayudar en este tema.
es primera vez, que me piden hacer check de una brida.

mi modelo fue exportado desde cadworx, y cuando encontro una junta bridada, no lo considera, como dos elementos, si no, como un solo rigido.
para poder check, hay que separar el rigido?
igual forma caesar considero, un valvula bridada, como un solo rigido, en ese caso, tambien debo separar el rigido.

me pueden explicar como se ingresa los datos, para este tipo de analisis

gracias

You have to break the elements. Then to use flange check for the nodes in between.

For example if you have a flange pair in one element from 10 to 20, use break command and insert a node 15. Then specify the flange check for node no. 15.

If you have flange, valve, flange in one element you should break in three rigid elements as appropiate.

But I think that there is a way to import them from cadworks as independent elements from the begining.
