Select to perform analysis according to British Standard Published Document 5500 Annex G instead of Welding Research Council Bulletin 297. The software computes stresses in cylindrical or spherical vessels with or without reinforcing pads. Only round hollow nozzle geometries are computed.
When PD5500 Annex G? is selected or cleared, the program automatically converts loads into the coordinate
systems used by each method.
With PD5500 Annex G? selected, you can modify values such as:
-
Stress concentration factor at the attachment edge
-
Stress concentration factor at the pad edge
-
Nozzle projection
-
