welcome to the cortex learning blog this

2
00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:12,270
is tutorial nine of nine the last one of

3
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:14,309
input basics for Caesar - what we want

4
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:16,650
to do here is to finish off our model

5
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:19,949
that we started earlier and by applying

6
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:26,698
an applied displacement at the final

7
00:00:19,949 --> 00:00:29,489
node up until now we've coded all of the

8
00:00:26,699 --> 00:00:32,790
lower section of the model including

9
00:00:29,489 --> 00:00:36,260
from this anchor all the way through to

10
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:39,089
the other anchor reduces T's valves etc

11
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:42,120
what we need to do now is to code from

12
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:44,610
the intersection vertically up seven

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:48,199
meters then horizontally in the negative

14
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:51,930
Z direction by two meters and then apply

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,240
displacements to this end node those
16
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:58,430
displacements will represent something

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:04,049
like a vessel or a equipment movement

18
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:08,220
usually due to thermal growth okay so

19
00:01:04,049 --> 00:01:13,290
it's commenced by is no creating a new

20
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:17,190
element by clicking continue we want to

21
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:19,740
move from 70 to actually 140 in this

22
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:23,158
case the default increment that seated

23
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:24,810
two officers isn't correct because we

24
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,560
already have a node 80 so we'll make it

25
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:32,909
140 will now move in the vertical

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:38,700
direction by seven meters seven thousand

27
00:01:32,909 --> 00:01:40,799
millimeters this is now added that extra

28
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:43,409
length but we want to insert make sure

29
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,190
remembering our bend rules we need to

30
00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:49,229
put a bend at node number 140 we want to

31
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:50,820
make it a long radius and we don't need

32
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:52,619
a single change with double flange it's

33
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:54,658
it's a standard Bend

34
00:01:52,619 --> 00:01:56,899
if we wanted to we could adjust the

35
00:01:54,659 --> 00:01:59,460
location of the nodes that's easy to

36
00:01:56,899 --> 00:02:02,939
inserts by default but we don't want to

37
00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:05,548
do that at this stage let's move on to

38
00:02:02,939 --> 00:02:08,519
the final element now these are two

39
00:02:05,549 --> 00:02:12,360
automatic increments are correct so

40
00:02:08,519 --> 00:02:14,959
let's add an element of - two meters in

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,959
the z direction

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:22,920
the final thing we need to do is to put

43
00:02:18,989 --> 00:02:26,010
a concave anchor movement at node number

44
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:28,440
150 the other thing not to do is to put

45
00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:32,489
a restraint there the restraint doesn't

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:35,670
allow movements it's fixed what we need

47
00:02:32,489 --> 00:02:37,739
to do is to apply a displacement so

48
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:39,328
click double-click displacements make

49
00:02:37,739 --> 00:02:42,060
sure we've highlighted the correct mode

50
00:02:39,329 --> 00:02:44,120
and then select and then notice that we

51
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:46,440
have the ability to put in up to nine

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,910
displacement vectors these are very

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,359
similar to the temperature or the

54
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:53,640
pressure cases that the nine cases that

55
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,860
we have have available there so the

56
00:02:53,640 --> 00:03:00,929
first thing we notice is that the Delta

57
00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:05,120
X - expansion is 0 12 millimeters in the

58
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:09,299
Y direction and 3 millimeters in the Zed

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,430
the rotational displacements are all 0
60
00:03:09,299 --> 00:03:14,250
and we need to make sure that they go to

61
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:16,500
0 and don't leave them as blank if we

62
00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:21,239
leave them as blank then the system will

63
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:24,060
be free to move in those directions so

64
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:26,730
let's see whether we can find it we can

65
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:28,319
annotate this diagram to show where

66
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:29,790
those displacements are because the

67
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:32,010
anchor doesn't show up is a normal

68
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:34,560
anchor so let's click the displacement

69
00:03:32,010 --> 00:03:36,388
icon and notice that what happens is

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,359
that the element that the displacement

71
00:03:36,389 --> 00:03:42,780
is on is turned red if there are

72
00:03:39,359 --> 00:03:44,430
multiple displacements then the element

73
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:46,889
the multiple elements will turn the

74
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:47,940
different color we can use this
75
00:03:46,889 --> 00:03:50,430
technique to show for example

76
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:52,739
temperatures as well if we had multiple

77
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:54,660
temperatures this model would show up in

78
00:03:52,739 --> 00:03:58,319
multiple colors we can do the same for

79
00:03:54,660 --> 00:04:00,840
of pressures corrosion allowances more

80
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:02,730
thicknesses insulation densities and so

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,940
on so it's a very useful checking tool

82
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:11,380
for when we come to era check our model

83
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:13,450
that's the conclusion of input and in

84
00:04:11,380 --> 00:04:17,560
the next series we will be looking at

85
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:19,829
how to create load cases and analyze the

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,829
model
