G Loading

Enter an appropriate G loading. The software calculates the mass of
the element and multiplies by the G loading in the appropriate direction.
For vertical vessels, the maximum of the X and Z acceleration values are
chosen for the analysis. For horizontal vessels, all three values are used.

Res. Spectrum

Response Spectrum Analysis allows the use of modal time history analysis.
The general design guidelines for this analysis are taken from the ASCE 7-98
or IBC 2000 codes. Other predefined spectra are built into the program, such as
the 1940 Earthquake El Centro and various spectra form the US NRC guide 1.60.
If the spectrum analysis type is user defined, the table of points that define the
response spectra must be entered in the table. For tall structures, this analysis
gives much more accurate results than the typical static equivalent method.
Usually the calculated loads are lower in magnitude than those computed using
conventional building code techniques.
