Hi Foamers
Do anyone have an idea how the forces library handle axisymmetric cases? Is that also based on the surface area? this would mean that I have to multiply by 144 if I have a 2.5° wedge? Best Regards Linnemann |

To answer my own question
Yes that is exactly right. Created an axi-symmetric and full 3D case with the same geometry and the results are spot on if the axi-symmetric forces are multiplied with 360/2,5=144. |
