(OP)
Hello My Friends,
Anyone has any experiences using Patran/Nastran (MSC Software) to analyze a pressure vessel under a 20g shock test? If you do, please let me so that I could ask you some specific questions.
Thanks a lot for your time and help.

20g = 640 ft/sec2
t = v/a = 10/640 = 1/64 = 0.015
BUT remember this is constant deceleration, which may be conservative, and who knows how long the original test took ? (so how do you justify the number ?) the best answer to this i think is what is general practice.
good luck
