ASME_Materials.jl

Code to convert American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section II-D material data tables through Section VIII Division 3 Part KM-620 into material data tables compatible with ANSYS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software.

Julia Language Installation

The Julia programming language can be installed for free from your operating system's native store (Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, Ubuntu Software Center, etc.). Just search for Julia.

Prerequisites

The KM620.jl package must be installed from GitHub before this package can be installed. It defines the Division 3 equations required to transform the data. Please download and install it first. https://github.com/nathanrboyer/KM620.jl

Package Installation

1. Download and extract this package from Github with any available method. (This might already be done.)
2. Search for and open the Julia program.
3. You should see a flashing cursor next to the word julia>.
4. Type the close bracket character ] to enter Pkg mode.
5. You should now see pkg> instead of julia>.
6. Type add followed by the path to the folder you downloaded inside quotation marks. Example 1: add "C:\Users\username\Downloads\ASME_Materials.jl-master" Example 2: add "S:\Julia\ASME_Materials"
7. Type Backspace to return to the normal julia> prompt.

Package Usage

The above installation steps will only need to be performed once. Now that Julia and the ASME_Materials package are installed. Just...

1. Open the Julia program.
2. Type using ASME_Materials.
3. Follow the instructions.
