According to ASME stress categories the local stress should be less than the 1.5*allowable stress. The stress which is observed at bolt hole location is clearly local stress. To interpret the stress at the bolt hole locations, i dont have any exact calculation right now. if you suggest...

yes, using div 2

Hi all, Am doing FE analysis of plate heat exchanger. The FE results are showing high result at the bolt holes location, which is local stress, but that is still higher than the allowable stresss(1.5Sm). Can I avoid the stress at that location. If so what is the exact reason to avoid the...

Hi all, I am doing FE analysis of pressure elements with saddle supports. One of the saddle support is fixed and other is free. The shell and saddle supports are connected using weld elements. My question is, High stresses are generated at the weld locations of movable saddle., why...

hi all, I am doing FE analysis of plate heat exchanger. This contains heat plates, header frame, follower frame and main supporting frame and studs. I have modelled all the parts but the number of elements are coming very high due which i cannot solve. This heat exchanger contains 350 heat...

hi all, I am doing fe analysis of bolted flange analysis. I have modeled this with solid elements only one segment. I want to know the how to give the boundary conditions for this assembly. Please help. amit

hi all, Can any tell me the properties of gasket material(soft steel or iron) at 65 deg. I need modulus of elasticity, poisons ratio, density, thermal conductivity and expansion thanks

Hi all, I am doing FE analysis of horizontal pressure vessel. The wind and seismic loads should be applied on the CG of the vessel. As am doing FE analysis, if i apply the load on the CG where this point(CG node) should be connected. If anyone is having files showing the load directions...

hi all what are the gasket loads in plate heat exchanger. where this should be applied in fe analysis thanks sagar

I am doing FEA of horizontal pressure vessel, i want to know where to apply nozzle loads, Is is at the junction of shell and nozzle or at the end of the nozzle flange Thanks sagar
