Hi,
I would like to run a pressure vessel study, I have created individual load case studies (static analysis solid bodies) but now can not select the pressure vessel study to combine them and linearize the stress. Does anyone know what the criteria is for using the pressure vessel study? I am just modeling a flange part but don't really know why its not coming up.
thanks,
ed
I have tried using two different load cases but the option for selecting a pressure vessel study still does not show up.
What I mean but "isn't coming up" is the option to select the pressure vessel study in the study window or property manager panel is not available to select. The only option is static analysis.
the software isn't loaded then. You need to have simulation premium or sim Pro.
First create the load case studies you want and solve them. Then create a new pressure vessel study. Then select setup and double click on row 1 under study. There you will be able to select the study in the scroll list. Also select the type of combination under options.
you need to install the simulation software
open solidworks DVD .-------> then open the " cwwi " file ------> cosmos ------> setup application
after installing go tools ---->add ins -----> select the simulation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but sometimes it happens with me that the pressure vessel simulation doesn't appear till i install & enable the "flow simulation" ;; i don't know the reason but it happened many times
Best regards

Ok, I am able to go into a previous assembly that I did a pressure vessel study and am able to view and modify the pressure vessel study so I know it is installed it is just not giving me the option to use it for this part. Do you need to have an assembly? Also I am using 2008.
I believe you need at least two load cases already computed or the software isn't turned on. hard to know what you mean by "isn't coming up" though.
