greauxpete,
We do a lot of FEA design of pressure vessels using Cosmosworks (and Geostar), using both shell and solid element models. As TGS4 alludes to, there is a lot to learn on the subject, but here are a few pointers that we follow and may be helpful for you:
1. Meshing with solid...
zjliang, I have to disagree with your opinion on treating the vessel as a support. I have designed large vessels with nozzles, say 18" diameter, with huge tablulated loads as Nozzletwister discusses, but with design pressures of 15 psig. What happens is that the shell and nozzle thicknesses...
