Hi,I have a query related to a Pressure Vessel designed as per ASME Sec VIII Div.1.
A vertical pressure vessel with skirt is in service for 10 years internally loaded with the bed material resting on the grating supported by a welded I-beam structure.
What type of FEA Analysis is required to check the internal grating & structure integrity, in case of a change in the internal bed material with increased weight from 18.1 Tons to 22.4 Tons?
