Focus
on Fatigue |
MoreVision has developed a number of programs to post-process finite element
results, calculate fatigue damage and to plot damage directly onto the FE
mesh. The assessments cover code of practices used in many countries (UK -
BS7608, France -UIC 515-4 Goodman Diagram, German DIN 15 018, Swedish Volvo
standards) |

Success |
MoreVision has sold
its innovative
engineering calculation software Research Engineers Inc. for worldwide distribution. The product has already earned MoreVision a
DTI SMART award for innovation. |

MoreVision have undertaken
many crane assessments using UK and European standards. In addition they
have also undertaken seismic assessments of high integrity cranes. |

Code
Assessment of Cranes |
|
 MoreVision
have software and ANSYS scripts for crane assessment in the UK
(BS2573) and in Europe (DIN 15018). |

End
Carriage Assessment |
|
 |
|
The
model opposite shows a zoom in plot on a crane crab end frame. The work
was undertaken to perform a detailed fatigue assessment of the end
carriage. A number of checks were required by the design code (BS2573) but
this was made simple by writing ANSYS scripts so that the checks could be
automatically evaluated. Apart from the normal code requirements this high
integrity crane required seismic loadcases to be assessed. Weld throat
strength and fatigue strength was checked outside of ANSYS using software
from the Layout Library. |
|
Seismic
Assessment of Cranes |
|
 Some assessments have involved seismic analysis of cranes and other
mechanical equipment for British Nuclear Fuels. The sketch opposite
shows how a seismograph works but is also useful to show how a
structure would be loaded during a seismic event. |

Software Tools |
MoreVision
have some 20 years experience of problem solving with ANSYSŪ. They
have developed a library of macros and software tools customizing
ANSYS for specific problems. |

Bolted Joint Analysis |
 MoreVision uses 'Boltcalc' software
in conjunction with FEA for fast & accurate assessments. |

Partnering
Client Design Teams |
 Will it fall off? Is it strong
enough? How long will it last? These are the questions on the minds of many
designers. MoreVision can team up to perform simple strength assessments to
allow designers to move forward with the confidence that their designs will
ultimately satisfy structural criteria. |

Independent
Design Audits |
|
A
fresh pair of eyes can offer an new insight into design critical
problems. |

Fixed
Price Contracts |
|
Whenever
possible MoreVision offers fixed price contracts from the outset of a
project. |

Failure
Investigations |
|
Simply strengthening an area
may not give you the results you want and could make the problem worse.
Before a solution can even be considered it is imperative that the mechanics
of the failure are completely understood. |
