Structural Clip with PV Elite

[acaughey]

I am designing a pressure vessel where my customer wants (2) lugs/ clips welded to the vessel to support piping. Is anyone aware of a way to input this into PV Elite?

The CodeCalc supplement will take care of it.

Hi Acaughey,

In PV Elite, force and moments option is available.you have to apply the pipe & clips loads on the vessel at particular node (support point). we have to taken the pipe & clips loads & moments from pipe stress analysis report.
