Use of FEA in Sec VIII Div 1?

(OP)
Hi all,
Is Finite Element Analysis an acceptable design solution per ASME Section VIII Div 1? Or is it permissbile only for use with Div 2 / 3 by a PE?

RE: Use of FEA in Sec VIII Div 1?

sp231, FEA is often used in Div. 1, as long as everbody, especially the AI, buys in.

Regards,

Mike

RE: Use of FEA in Sec VIII Div 1?

It is acceptable only in the context of U-2(g).  It cannot over-rule a mandatory requirement of the Code.

RE: Use of FEA in Sec VIII Div 1?

What does U-2(g) refer to?

RE: Use of FEA in Sec VIII Div 1?

mcclain - what do you mean?  Read that paragraph in Section VIII, Division 1.  If you have any questions about, please come back here with that question.
