Error Code 315 - NOZZLE E: type of shell not compatible (05[21]), revise location.


Problem:

The following Error message appears when running the program:

315        NOZZLE E: type of shell not compatible (05[21]), revise location.

How to avoid this error.

Solution:

This error occurs when a nozzle is placed on a parent component that is not supported for nozzle attachment.
In the reviewed model, Nozzle E is connected to a Tubesheet, which is not a valid location for nozzle placement in AutoPIPE Vessel.
The software restricts nozzle connections to specific compatible shell types, and Tubesheets are not included in the supported list.

Solution:

To resolve the issue:

      1. Relocate the nozzle from the tubesheet
      2. Place the nozzle on a supported parent component, such as:
        • Cylindrical shell
        • Head (e.g., elliptical, hemispherical)
      3. Re-run the analysis

Workaround:
Use Component Design to evaluate:
    • The nozzle neck as a cylindrical shell.
    • The flange attached to the nozzle.
