How to know branch forces and moments - 07/08/08 02:55 AM
Dear all:
I am working with a polyester [img]C:\Documents and Settings\msf\Escritorio\foro 1.tif[/img] 3000mm ID pipe (BS7159 Code), and I have two questions:
a) How can I know forces and moments in the brach point (I must give this data to the piping manufacturer for calculate branch reinforces if necessary)
If I study Global element forces I have the results attached. I do not know how to understand them:
For knowing forces and moments in the branch conection must I sum moments and forces for 30 and 33 nodes and the result of this operation will be forces and moments in the branch conection?
Thanks in advance
