Free Summer Webinars
SKIOS will present a couple of new Webinars again before the summer holidays. These webinars have been highly appreciated in the past and we are convinced that you will like the ones coming up in a few weeks.
First out, Friday, June the 3rd, is a presentation of how to model and implement a flexible coupling in CAEPIPE. Flexible couplings of Victaulic style are popular to use for applications when for example, a quick deployment of a piping system is needed. During the webinar you will learn about the pitfalls and get hints on how to model and use these kinds of couplings with ease.
The second webinar will take place on Tuesday, the 7th of June. This webinar has two parts. The first part is providing insight into some features in Rohr2, such as the generation of images for reports. Furthermore, how to handle text groups and views and how to include them in the report.
In the second part of this webinar we will spend time regarding data transfer between Excel and Rohr2, we will show how to import geometry via Excel into ROHR2. Registration closed

Not all of you are familiar with the efficient tools and add-on modules from SST systems and Sigma. To remedy this lack of information, we invite you to a series of short Online Webinars where we present these modules.
First out is Rohr2fesu, a powerful Finite Element module totally integrated into ROHR2, efficiently assisting you in the analysis of components not covered by any piping code.
Next in line of presentations is the thermo-hydraulic analysis product SINETZ.
SINETZ allows you to perform a steady-state calculation of flow distribution, pressure drop, and heat loss in complex piping networks for both compressible and incompressible media. If available, 3D ROHR2 models may easily be transferred into SINETZ.
For those of you that are using CAEPIPE, please join us at the end of November. CAEPIPE has some small and useful extra tools that can be very handy. If this sounds interesting do not miss this webinar.
Last, in line this time in our series of presentations is Rohr2flange. This module enables you to perform detailed analysis according to different codes including, but not limited to, tightening moments of bolts.
The webinars will be broadcasted once in the morning and repeated in the afternoon.
