Meshing Plate Supports (June 2008)
Meshing plate supports is one of the most complicated tasks in FE/Pipe, but once dominated, a lot of things can be modeled. We are going to model a simple support that will demonstrate how to properly mesh the plate support using the Parent Surface Control.

Open Ended Nozzle or Trunnion Example (June 2008)
General Nozzles, Shells and Plates models by default an end cap at the end of the nozzle or Trunnion. This end cap has a modulus multiplier or 10000, so the end of the nozzle will be very stiff and no ovalizatiown will be allowed.

Hillside Nozzle Meshing (June 2008)
When the user enters an offset for a nozzle, the default meshing for many cases is not going to give a decent model.

Cutting Rectangular Holes in Header (July 2008)
In the case where the user needs to cut a rectangular hole in the header, the use of angles and rings becomes the most important factor. FE/Pipe has preset Options for square holes, but not for rectangles, this is why removing mesh is the solution for rectangular holes.

Ring Stiffened Spring Hanger Support (June 2009)
Use FE/Pipe to model a ring-stiffened spring hanger support consisting of a padeye on a shackle pin connection and a compression collar. This example uses spar elements to provide uniaxial connection between nodes.
