Hi everyone,
My goal is to do joint meshing of brace to beam connections of a topside module, so that I can get the Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) and the Hot spot stress (TOP SP) at these connections. In order to use the joint mesher function in sacs, it appears there is a need for a mesh input file (see screenshot below). May I know how can I go about generating the mesh input file? I have noted that there are past webinars on joint meshing presented on this website but it appears inaccessible on my end, hence my posting on the forum.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kay Thi
Hi again, it appears I got confused. After reading the Utilities manual of SACS, I realised that the mesh input file gets generated AFTER I apply joint meshing. To anyone who wants to know where to find the Utilities manual, it is found in the 'manuals' tab! (See screenshot below)
Thanks and cheers,
