welcome to the cortex learning blog this

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:12,780
is tutorial six of nine Caesar to input

3
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:15,480
basics we're going to begin here where

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:18,119
we left off it part five of nine in the

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,550
middle of creating a model what we want

6
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:26,640
to do in this tutorial is to show you

7
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:28,380
how to create a bend one of the

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,390
important things to note is that bends

9
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:36,390
are dimensioned to tangent points they

10
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:39,320
are also defined or that can only be

11
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:42,239
defined on the element entering the bend

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,550
this is one of the few times in ct2

13
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,410
perhaps the only time where the

14
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:50,910
direction of coding is important the

15
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:54,059
other important thing to note is that
16
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:57,779
the two elements which contain the bend

17
00:00:54,059 --> 00:01:00,390
must be contiguous in other words they

18
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:03,210
must for one after the other in the

19
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:05,700
input and the reason for this is that

20
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:09,659
the layout of these two elements the

21
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:13,950
before and the after element they define

22
00:01:09,659 --> 00:01:17,220
the bend angle let's have a look at how

23
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:21,960
Caesar two numbers bins and considers

24
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:25,020
bends on the left hand side we have the

25
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:27,600
model importer in this case we're coding

26
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:31,560
two elements element thirty to forty and

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,600
forty to fifty now in line with the c22

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,420
convention we're going to code from

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,649
thirty to forty first and then from

30
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:44,250
forty to fifty we will include a bend on

31
00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:47,590
the first element thirty to forty

32
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:50,530
Caesar - will then interpret this by

33
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:53,830
adding some additional nodes the first

34
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:56,689
thing it does is to move element 40 to

35
00:01:53,830 --> 00:02:01,590
the far end of the bend

36
00:01:56,689 --> 00:02:05,008
it then adds another node at the start

37
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:10,080
at the bend and the third node in the

38
00:02:05,009 --> 00:02:11,819
middle at half the bend angle okay so

39
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,610
let's go on and to the model and

40
00:02:11,819 --> 00:02:18,630
continue where we picked off start

41
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:21,540
coding for a our um our Bend I'll do it

42
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:24,569
first up the wrong way by not including

43
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:26,280
a bend on the element and we'll just see

44
00:02:24,569 --> 00:02:32,280
how this works now we can come back and

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:34,650
fix it okay so what we will do is to add

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,500
a new element here that will go off in

47
00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:43,620
the minus X direction hit the continue

48
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:47,730
key button and define the length of the

49
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:51,470
next element which will be minus one

50
00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:53,670
thousand and fifteen millimeters and

51
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:55,830
notice that's all I've done here I

52
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:58,518
haven't defined a bend and you'll see

53
00:02:55,830 --> 00:03:00,840
that the graphic shows rather ugly

54
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:03,090
representation of what's going on it

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,590
certainly doesn't have a bend at node

56
00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:11,880
number forty so let's go back to element

57
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:17,670
thirty to forty and put a bend on

58
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:24,840
element number forty simply click the

59
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:26,458
bend double-click and lo and behold we
60
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:32,850
get a nice-looking graphic that shows

61
00:03:26,459 --> 00:03:35,519
that the bend has been included so let's

62
00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:37,858
just review with the data that is

63
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:41,040
required for the bend in the auxiliary

64
00:03:37,859 --> 00:03:44,010
field you'll see on the bend element

65
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,810
that we have we can choose the radius we

66
00:03:44,010 --> 00:03:47,760
can actually type inner radius here

67
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:52,850
wouldn't use long radiation short radius

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,850
or a number of other I'll turned it

69
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:57,650
you can choose a type this basically

70
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:59,269
just relates to stiffening we can have a

71
00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:01,700
single flange type or a double flange

72
00:03:59,270 --> 00:04:07,610
type and that'll just create different

73
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:10,790
stiffnesses of flange the third part of

74
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:13,280
the input screen relates to the two
75
00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:16,130
additional nodes that I described Caeser

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,320
to adding you'll notice here that the

77
00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:22,280
first one is at angle M which means

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,550
middle of the bend and it's inserted at

79
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,099
node number 19 and at node number then

80
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:33,860
angle number zero it's in it's inserted

81
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:36,890
a node number 18 the last data fields

82
00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:40,100
are associated with my turbines weave

83
00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:42,919
and fitting thicknesses for example if

84
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:48,800
your your Bend has a thicker wall

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:50,660
thickness than the than the pipe next

86
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,010
we're going to consider write our

87
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:54,010
reduces and tees
