Hi,
I am currently modelling a double skinned tank, that has a series of nozzles connected to the inner tank, but passes through (through a larger hole)the outer tank wall.
This means that the nozzles are not in initial contact with the outer tank wall.
I want to apply a load to the flange face of the nozzle and look at the deflection in the inner tank wall. I also want to see if the nozzles deflect sufficiently to rest on the inner ledge of the hole in the outer tank.
Currently when i load the model, the nozzle passes through the outer wall i.e does not make contact.
If a set the nozzle and the outer tank wall to be in contact, then the nozzle bends at that point.
Any suggestions? I would like the nozzle to deflect under load, until it comes into contact with the outer tank wall. Is this possible?
Thanks,
klt
