    Debugging of a pressure vessel

    Hi everyone, my friend and me are currently trying to simulate the tension and deformation of a pressure vessel due to inner pressure. The model consists of a liner, two bosses (all of them isotropic) and an orthotropic laminate which we modeled using the continuum shell element. We used...

    Implementation of varying thickness of a pressure vessel

    Thanks for the answers. It wasnt really a CAD problem as the geometry was already implemented. We solved the issue though. As you said mskds545 we chose continuum shell elements and did not model the actual windings. The laminate theory allows for this simplification. The simulation won't be...

    Implementation of varying thickness of a pressure vessel

    Hi everyone, recently I started using Abaqus. I am designing a pressure vessel with a cylindrical part and a dome at each ending approximating a hemisphere. Now, I have come to the first issue I don't know how to solve by myself: The difficulty lies in the domes. As the objective is to get as...
