    nozzle loads

    I do a lot of nozzle loads using pvelite. A large amount of the nozzles are tangential. Pvelite doesn't handle tangential nozzles. Any suggestions other then FEA on how to handle these nozzles? Thanks in advance.

    Nozzle flexibility

    Anyone know if PVElite or NozzlePro provide user with nozzle flexibility/stiffness values that can be used in CaesarII pipe stress analysis? Thank you in advance.

    Nozzle loads

    Assume you are analyzing a vessel on 4 legs. The moment at the base of the legs is 10000 ft-lbs due to seismic condition. The large nozzle in the top head has a nozzle load of 10000 ft-lbs. Would you design the vessel support legs for a total of 20000 ft-lbs? Thank you in advance.

    Foundation loads

    I have a 48" dia. vessel on 5" x 5" x 1/2" angle support legs. The vessel has 2 large 14" and 16" dia, nozzles. The client wants allowable nozzle loads and foundation loads from the allowable nozzle loading. This seems like an indeterminate structure to me. Does anyone have any suggestions on...

    ANSYS 13.0 export to Algor FEMPro

    Is there any way ANSYS 13.0 can export to Algor FEMPro?

    Vessels on support legs

    Over the years I have calculated the allowable nozzle loads on a vessel and applied these loads to the vessel nozzles when analyzing support legs (usually only the top nozzle). I use PVElite and apply this load at the top head to nozzle juncture using the external load feature. This loading most...

    Vessels on support legs

    When analyzing the support legs on a vessel shouldn't one consider the loading from the attached nozzles? Thanks in advance.
