I have a vessel with ASME U stamp, and a 15 psig MAWP rating. It is protected by a PSV set at 15 psig. Can I use a rupture disc below the PSV (for corrosion isolation purposes), with a burst pressure of 14 psig (which meets the ASME UG-131 pressure setting criteria), but does not have a UD flow...

I have several lines connected to a reactor that contain a short span (~3-4 ft in length) of flexible hose approximately 15-20 ft away from the RX connection flanges. What is the best way to model these in C2?

thread775-416170 Does anyone have a combination structural & piping model I can learn from to correctly attach the piping to the steel

A client of mine has a large tank in which a weld patch was made. During the welding, the thin wall pulled in very irregularly over an area about the size of a double door. I want to model this "dimple" in order to do FEA and I know it is a simple solution for those experienced in surfaces, of...

Where can I find the requirements for a specific repair of an ASME U stamped vessel? I have searched API 510 & API 579 without success. I have a 1-1/2" unreinforced nozzle to remove. I want to cut off the nozzle flush with the OD and then weld a patch plate over the hole, rather than attempt...

I'm looking for a supplier of manufactured HDPE tanks from 32000 to 53000 gallons capacity. Products to be stored are various blends of esters and betaines. In my preliminary search I could not find a supplier than makes them this large. Does anyone know of a domestic source of supply or...

Does anyone know of an existing "rule of thumb" for spacing thermal reliefs in a pipeline (every 1000' etc.) due to solar radiation? I know there are many variables to consider such as pipe size, product contained, elevation changes, where in the world the pipeline is, P&T, etc. I'm not looking...

I have an SW approved graphics card and I did install an updated driver yesterday. That helped very marginally to speed up the performance but the problem remains. Funny how the difference between a running CAD monster machine on SW2011 to a crawling tortoise was only the hour and a half to...

No, but also not sure why the graphics driver would need to be updated. Are SW upgrades uniquely linked to graphics driver versions? I'll do so if one is available and see what happens.

Last month I upgraded to SW 2012 from SW2011 SP4. I have noticed a significant decrease in performance - simple input tasks (like editing a sketch) are taking 5 -10 seconds from the time I click or RMB click before the command become available for execution. I had no issues with SW2011 or...

Thanks CBL. That will work, although I wish there were a way to change the default icon for the on-screen dimension edit box that comes up... just as a back-up

Given a part with multiple, existing configurations or adding a new configuration to an single configuration part: When adding a new configuration and assigning new dimensional valves to an existing feature, the default setting when editing the dimension value is "apply to all configurations"...

Crude oil. Once drilling is over, the pipe will be cleaned by pickling and put into dry lay-up for an extended period until drilling starts again. This will be repeated over many times.

I'm considering this alloy for low pressure (2-100 psig) marine vessel piping system (-40F design, ~+40-60F operating) which will need to be flushed with sea water about once a year and then pickled & coated with rust inhibitor. Does anyone have any recommendations or concerns regarding the...

I use custom properties alot. I'm trying to find the syntax for extracting the item number and quantity from a SW BOM table (standard SW table - not an excel based table) to put in a note on subsequent drawing pages when the part gets detailed. I searched the help files but couldn't get it to...

I ran Office 2000 with SW2011 Win 7 (64) and had no problems. But the first time I tried to create a report in SW Simulation, I got the message the report generator would not work, reuiring Office 2007 or later. I upgraded to Office 2010. So I have seen both sides of this issue.

I had this same problem right after SW2011 came out and continued with SP1.0. I had several configurations in the main assembly, with various combinations of suppressed sub-assemblies. Some would work OK, other configurations would suddenly start unsupressing sub-assemblies at random. I never...

How simple was that. Worked just the way I needed it to do so. Thanks

Somehow I inadvertently deleted the icon for the Relations Property Manager, conveniently located between the Feature Manager Design Tree and Configuration Manager Icons on the tree structure. I have searched the help and knowledge base without luck and can't find a way to get it back. To view...

The question of whether file locations are pointing to network or local drive is not the problem. I'm running SW on a local drive only - not connected to a network in anyway shape or form. I guess this problem goes beyond this forum and I'll submit it to SW directly.
