Cylindrical and conical analysis

- [Instructor] Cylindrical analysis is always a big part of any as-built process since we often have to look at items such as tanks, piping, lampposts, hydro-poles, and many, many other cylindrical objects to see if they've sagged, shifted, or deformed over time. This is often a complex procedure, but we should take a look at a simple cylindrical analysis in our basic course here. And I've gone ahead and isolated an area for you here, so you can just call up cylinders. And you'll see that we're back to our friend, the filter that we've looked at in a number of chapters through here. So assuming that we want to run an analysis on this, we want to see if this is, how out of round it is, where the deviations are, if it's been beaten, it's bashed, if the surface is deviated in any way. So, we isolate the points. So I'm going to take a look at this, and I'm going to take away the top flange on this, so make sure you get a nice clean cylinder that you want to run the analysis on. So if…
