Analyzing the stress state and displacements.<\/p>\n<p>This analysis confirms the importance of paying attention to weld execution to avoid failures, particularly in the welding of the joint perimeter and minimum weld thicknesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Material selection and assembly strategy<\/h3>\n<p>As for temperature, it is determined that<strong> the steel used is sufficient<\/strong>. Although our calculation team<strong> recommends more suitable special materials<\/strong> for extreme cold conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, to ensure proper frame assembly, it was decided to secure only one of the bolts. This method allows the structure to contract freely until it reaches plant temperature (-25\u00b0C), at which point the remaining bolts are installed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The key: iterations between Design and Calculation for the optimal solution<\/h3>\n<p>Our Technical Office carries out\u00a0<strong>several iterations between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingenieriateciman.com\/proyectos-ingenieria\/diseno-simulacion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">structural design and calculation<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(redesigns, thickness changes, material analysis, etc.), advising our collaborator to deliver the optimal solution to the end customer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information about our capabilities call us at 947 20 91 41 or send us an email to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:teciman@teciman.com\">teciman@teciman.com<\/a>.
