Modeling a bend plate (reinforcement) outside a cylindrical vesel
Modeling a bend plate (reinforcement) outside a cylindrical vesel
(OP)
I am supporting a cylindrical vessel with a saddle. The perimeter of the bend plate of the saddle is welded to the vessel with intermitent welds.
To properly size the saddle (angle and width, etc) I need to chek the local stresse at the interface with the vessel but I am not sure how to model the bend plate next to the vessel. For the FEA analysis I am using STAAD.
Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated
Thank you
