We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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
