A recap of the Saudi Arabia workshop on FEA for nonmetallic composite casing and tubing, covering Ansys-based training, stress analysis, fatigue, buckling, and thermal analysis.
Recent Workshop in Saudi Arabia Equips Engineers with Skills for Nonmetallic Composite Casing and Tubing Analysis
The recent workshop titled “Finite Element Analysis for Nonmetallic Composite Casing and Tubing” held in Saudi Arabia, organized by the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Advanced Materials at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Aramco, Fluid Codes, and Ansys, saw enthusiastic participation from engineers, industry experts, and students.
The collaborative effort aimed to provide participants with the essential skills required for conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tailored specifically for casing and tubing using Ansys software. The workshop’s curriculum was meticulously crafted to align with the anticipated DNV standard on Composites Downhole Casing & Tubing (CDCT).
During the workshop, Fluid Codes’ engineers Sagar Mali and Mohammed Waseem led hands-on training sessions, covering a diverse array of topics such as modeling, stress analysis, fatigue, buckling, and thermal analysis pertinent to CDCT. The sessions were designed to offer practical insights and foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
