The elements on my final run were very small and the stress had increased again to 323MPa so it could be a case of reaching a “too small” element size and the stress will keep increasing. The freshest news from the food world every day, The dive tradition of watching ‘Jeopardy!’ over beers and shots will end with Trebek’s final episode on December 25, Why You Should Skip a Colander and Buy a Chinois, Sign up for the Excellent job man , just learning abaqus so it helped a lot. For best results, use with HIC's Wooden Chinois Pestle (#43658) to help press pulp and thicker ingredients through the mesh. Hi Lukasz, thanks for the kind response. I was mulling over it and came to the same conclusion, the starting mesh was perhaps too coarse to use with that method.

It's the perfect addition to cooking tools and canning supplies for making creamier sauces, smoother soups, perfect purees and pastes, flawless batters, jellies, custards, curds, yogurts, and more. 2. If you do the above and it still doesn’t work (or maybe even before you do it) check if this is not a stress/boundary singularity. I’m not sure how to help you – could you perhaps ask a specific question? But of course, the method you mentioned is fine regardless.

Nice tip that I have never though! No more lumps! Initially, after 3 runs, the 1/nodes x stress graph was linear, with a “correct” value of 271MPa and R^2 of 0.99. Can you please explain about Critical Load Multiplier and why are we using it here? Thanks for the tutorial.

1. The behaviour of a structure under repeated loads depends on the intensity or amplitude of the load and can vary from elastic to non-restricted plastic flow behaviour. An assist handle on the chinois allows the strainer to rest in pots and large bowls. Like many things in FEA, it’s another tool to use with a critical thinking cap on . My main problem is finding the elastic stresses that their value are less than the exact one. “I don’t think I’ve ever used one,” he says. You know, stuff is usually case-specific (or at least I think it can be), and I don’t want to give any misleading information… after all, we are doing here pretty responsible jobs! Without such information, it will be super difficult to answer such a question specifically.

I’ve read through your guide again, carefully and I understand mesh convergence study better now. Higher mesh numbers = smaller particle sizes. There is a fine line here: bigger elements give bad results, but smaller elements make computing so long you don’t get the results at all.

1. Since I simply decreased the element size in the entire model it made sense. If you are looking for a chinois strainer with a solid build, effective mesh, and a decent price, you'd have a difficult time finding a better buy for your money. Want to learn more? If this is 300mmx300mmx3mm plate loaded uniformly than use 2D mesh and perform a study I just described above (hard to guess exactly, but you can start at 30mmx30mm which will give you a 10×10 mesh grid, and reduce from there).

If that is also not the case… maybe a different element formulation. Sometimes the mesh size of a product in noted with either a minus (-) or plus (+) sign. JavaScript seems to be disabled in your browser. This is one of the topics I teach on my: free FEA essentials course. I get a feeling I seriously not understand what are you doing . Have you tried bigger mesh, or is solution converging only in one single instance?

Easily create smoother soups and sauces.

I took the multiplier simply as it is easy to obtain, and linear buckling computes very fast . I’m not sure if I understand what do you mean by “correct answer for a given mesh”. Wow – you must be doing something pretty cool – I don’t recall I ever heard about a procedure like that , But since we already establish I have no idea what you are doing, let me get on my “expert podium” and give you a few bits of advice . Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Most grades below 325 mesh are indicated by the micron size as these sizes are not manufactured using screens.

The term ‘Mesh’ is used to describe the size of an abrasive particle.

But “from the outside” it will be super difficult for anyone to give you an answer – you will have to work it out yourself I’m afraid!
