Reply To: Account for weight of internal fluid going through pipe elements

[Arun Kumar]

Internal fluid can be defined through “SECDATA” for pipe elements. Both mass and pressure effects are included. First define the internal fluid density with “MP” command and then refer to this matid in “SECDATA”. More details can be found in Help at: help/anselem/HlpEPIPE289.html. To include internal fluid in Workbench Mechanical, command object will be needed to specify “SECDATA” with internal fluid. Another option is to use “Offshore ACT” extension, which can be downloaded from ANSYS appstore at the link below: https://appstore.ansys.com/shop/ACTApps_act%20apps
