@TGS4 Thanks for your response. Actually the piping engineer who gave me loads says to check all the components in all possible directions as he can't say with authority that only one particular case can be taken.

Hi all I have to perform a Nozzle FEA and have been given the Piping Loads at the Nozzle Flange. Fa(kgf) Fl(kgf) Fc(kgf) Mt(kgf.m) Ml(kgf.m) Mc(kgf.m) 750 1100 1000 1250 2100 750 Now I want to know that should be the directions I should consider to predict the most severe...

@DriveMeNuts - Thanks for your valuable comment

Hi all I am currently doing FEA for a old vessel which works in creep Regime. Now using API 579 FFS 1 Part for calculation on Creep Life, Code asks first to calculate the "Nominal Stress". Now what is exactly nominal stress is not mentioned clearly in API 579. Please let me know any valid reference.

Hi all I am working on a problem in which piping Vibration loads are coming on to the Equipment. I need to perform the FEA analsysis to check the adequacy of the design if the design would be able to sustain the vibration loads for the design life. Can someone guide me how to perform the same...

Hi All I am dealing with a axis symmetric 2D Model with Non Axis Symmetric Bending. Can Someone write an example APDL code or give me reference in which - The Boundary Conditions are defined The Non Asymmetric Loads are Defined The Angular Deformations plots are Extracted. Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot Erik and FEA Way.

I am I want to know the procedure to give Non Axis Symmetric Loads to Axis Symmetric 2 Elements in Workbench.

Hi All. I am working on FEA problems in Pressure Vessel Industry. Most of the times my equipment are Pressure Containing. But sometimes I get problems which is just a loaded structure. I am confused how to assess the Stresses in the structure. Can I used BPVC ASME VIII div 2 Design by Analysis...

@TGS4 Sorry to say but I am the only FEA resource available to my firm right now

Hi All I am working on a Problem in which a 20m Vessel in erected on site. Due to some issue some local PWHT has to be done at an elevation. Now I am simulating the some 500mm of cylindrical shell for heating and stress analysis. I did apply steady state thermal and imported Thermal profiles fir...

@FEA Way - Is it possible to put Convection Heating and Cooling on the same body Surface ?

Hi all I am doing Thermal Analysis of Gate valve in ANSYS as per API 6 FA test. I want to simulate the real conditions. My Test Conditions are to be- 1.Flame exposure to valve at 1800 F for 30 mins Now I want to simulate the same model so that I may get temp Profile surrounding the seal. I have...

@TGS4- I admit your comment that nozzle thrust need to be included, but when my piping loads are calculated by stress engineer, then he would already include the pressure thrust in piping loads. @jtseng123 Thanks for your advise, Will do some more research over that

Hi All I am currently designing a vessel in which I have to go for FEA of a nozzle as its failing using WRC 107. Now for avoiding Rigid body motion we apply a pressure thrust in Nozzle flange while doing FEA. But when when we design the same nozzle using PV Elite , We are not including Pressure...

thankyou Eric For your response. But still there must be some training manuals by ANSYS which might be freely available.

Hi All I am working as a FEA Trainee in Pressure Vessel Design Dept for my firm. My software is ANSYS Workbench. Can someone provide me some good Advanced Training materials of Workbench. Thanks in Advance

HUH!! I use more than three elements as the WRC 429 and ASME PTB uses in its examples.

Thanks TGS4 for your answer. However if I am using linear elements than how many elements are acceptable?
