Problem:
The following occurs when I perform the Strength Calculations:
Errors:
Error Code 438 - BEAM MODEL: the length of the equivalent beam (8,091 mm) is not equal to the length of the vessel (7,947 mm).
How to fix it?
Answer:
==================================================================================
Scenario 1:
In this model component dimensions are as follows:
Shell 31.05 = 100mm
Shell 31.06 = 322mm
Flange 30.01 = 166 mm.
Flange length is higher than adjacent shell length hence software is giving an error.
Avoidance: Delete the shell component 31.05 and increase the length of shell component 31.06 by 100mm to match the total length.
This will resolve the error.
