FEA in pressure vessel parts
(OP)
Is anybody could give me some ideas on how you guys design pressure vessel parts in FEA?
How do you calculate your loadings? And when these loadings are applied, how do you assess the results?

RE: FEA in pressure vessel parts
"How do you calculate your loadings?" - Very carefully, based on the loadings on the PV.
"And when these loadings are applied, how do you assess the results?" - Very very carefully - using the design Codes as guidelines, particularly ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Appendix 4, and WRC 429.
Some engineers make a career out of what you are asking. Do you have a specific question?
