Axisymmetric Pressure Vessel Analysis in Simcenter 3D - Part 3: Apply material properties

Summary

In this article, a cylindrical pressure vessel will be analyzed using the axisymmetric analysis capability in Simcenter. It is Part 3 of 6 parts tutorial with the following steps: Part 1: Create pressure vessel geometry Part 2: Mesh the created pressure vessel model Part 3: Apply material properties Part 4: Apply boundary conditions Part 5: Create cylindrical coordinate system for the FEM Part 6: Analysis run and post processing

Details

Part 3: Applying material properties to meshed pressure vessel model

Step 12: Assign Materials and Properties
 

•Expand the 2D Collectors item in the Simulation Navigator

•Right-click on the Solid Axisymmetric XY Collector(1) item and select Edit

•In the Mesh Collector menu that appears, click on Edit

•Click on the Choose Material       button for Material 

•Select Steel from the list that appears, click OK, then OK again and again
