Pressure vessels and tanks
Static linear or nonlinear finite element analysis to determine:
These finite element analysis results can be used to assess, amongst others:
- Buckling modes and load factors
- Structural deformations
- Stress levels
- Plastic strain levels
- Temperature profiles through steady-state or transient heat transfer analysis
These finite element analysis results can be used to assess, amongst others:
- Compliance to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Div. 2
- Fitness-for-service (FFS) to API 579
- Compliance to API 650
