Dear All,
I m currently designing a pipe support saddle (Saddle attached to pie with internal pressure and rod force applied at bottom of the saddle) according to ASME Sec VIII in Ansys WB and have a few concerns
*Should I need to Model the weld seam that connects the pipe to the saddle to check local stresses (What is the procedure to connect 6 mm weld seal to 15 mm thk plate and how to model fillet weld in shell element
* Can i use Shell element since the thk is very low when compared to dimensions of plate (Visually interference appears can i ignore them by just modelling the mid surface and how to model weld seam using shell element)
* Boundary condition I have attached my boundary condition Is it enough
* Connection how do i connect the pipe to saddle (I have considered the following Weld seam to Pipe Bonded , Weld seam to Pad bonded , Pad to Pipe frictionless - Is this enough and what faces of weld to be connected)
Any sort of help will be very useful for me to proceed further,
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
