Pressure Vessel Tutorial

[Bobfromoh]

I'm new to Pro/E. I loked in Pro/E books and searched the internet for a tutorial to model a pressure vessel including the cylinder, heads, attachments and supports.
But I can't find anything on the subject. Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial to model PV's?

Thanks......

Why would you need something special? I've modeled countless vessels. with mountinf feet, multiple welded npt flanges, etc...
You can calculate wall thickness based on your pressure requirements. You can even set up family tables for different pressure ratings, mounting options, etc.
