A practical engineering package that includes a replicated CAE .inp model and an Excel file for FAD curve calculation based on API 579 Level 3 assessment Example 9.11. Designed for engineers who want a clear starting point for studying the Failure Assessment Diagram approach and replicated fracture assessment workflows.

Overview

This product provides a replicated engineering model for API 579 Level 3 FFS Example 9.11. It includes two main files:

• a CAE .inp file of the replicated model
• an Excel file for FAD curve calculation

The package is intended for engineers, analysts, and researchers working on fracture assessment, fitness-for-service studies, and Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) calculations.

What is included

• CAE .inp file of the replicated model
• Excel file for calculating the FAD curve

What this product is useful for

This package can help users who want to:

• study a replicated setup related to API 579 Example 9.11
• review the structure of a CAE input model
• calculate and examine the FAD curve in Excel
• use the files as a reference for learning and engineering review

Technical focus

The main technical focus of this package is the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) approach used in fracture and fitness-for-service assessment.

​

These parameters are commonly used to define the assessment point relative to the FAD curve.

Important note

This product includes only the files listed above:

• CAE .inp file
• Excel FAD calculation file
