Pressure Vessels
Modeling Techniques:
Supporting an inner vessel from an outer vessel
Insert a Boot
Design a jacketed vessel
Goose neck nozzle out the bottom of a vertical vessel
Reinforcing pad placed on both shell locations of a vertical vessel
Skirt to a pressure vessel
Custom saddles
Standard raised face ring type joint flange
Specify circular weld
A boot to a vertical vessel
2 rings supports
More than 4 vents in the skirt
Saddles with a stiffener ring
Vertical vessel for transportation in horizontal position
Platform to a horizontal vessel
A structural shape C for skirt attachments as per EN 13445-3 16.12.3.4 (Figure 16.12-3) and AD2000 S3/1
Multiple saddle in horizontal pressure vessel
Flat head welded to wall per UW-13-2(d)
Cone shape skirt
Connecting head directly to flange
Skirt stiffener
Weight of packing to the "lifting" load case
Longitudinal weld orientation
Different temperature zones for a vessel
Horizontal Vessel with jack 2/3 the distance around the outside
Report issues:
Why are the weld class represented wrongfully in the output report
Flange rating in program does not match that in the report
Why are there no trunnions characteristics for our vessel in 's output report
Report option "Report determining case only" in the submenu "Report " appears to not be working correctly in
There is an empty page only instead of report after a calculation in output report, why
Why is Bolting Required area = 0 in report
Calculation issues:
For the combined loading calculation, how is the general stress intensity calculated
What methods are used to calculate the K factor from ASME VIII Div 1
Can Auto Pipe Vessel design the guide support or calculate the reaction on the guide support and corresponding stress on the shell of the tall column
Saddles - Calculation of the horizontal longitudinal reactions (RaHL) When do the sliding saddles start to move
What fatigue calculations are performed
If dc = D2 was applicable to calculate λc only, can this relationship also be apply to equation 49 of GOST R 52857.3 n
Gasket and Bolt Calculation, what is DL in
Miscellaneous issues:
optimize Body flange design
Number of bolts required for design using
On Body flange tab, why the calculation of bolts is set by default on the dialog and then imposed by the code to calculate the section in the background thread
Why Corrosion Allowance on the Component Properties dialog in is grayed out
In the annex you will find a file for a vessel according to ASME VIII/2 under internal and external pressure. In the design report it is stated that the opening N03.1 is not adequately reinforced for external pressure.
Why does the Packing Weight summary have a different count than shown in the model view for
When we compute a heat exchanger submitted to wind and earthquake and we select "report determining case only", APV print lifted and erected cases whereas when we print all cases, the determining case is operating.
Consequence of the input of the elevation in the dialog of the bracket or ring
get the nozzle orientation in a view not in a table
