FEA on Pipe support saddle

FEA on Pipe support saddle

FEA on Pipe support saddle

(OP)
Dear All,
I m currently designing a pipe support saddle (Saddle attached to pie with internal pressure and rod force applied at bottom of the saddle) according to ASME Sec VIII in Ansys WB and have a few concerns
*Should I need to Model the weld seam that connects the pipe to the saddle to check local stresses (What is the procedure to connect 6 mm weld seal to 15 mm thk plate and how to model fillet weld in shell element
* Can i use Shell element since the thk is very low when compared to dimensions of plate (Visually interference appears can i ignore them by just modelling the mid surface and how to model weld seam using shell element)
* Boundary condition I have attached my boundary condition Is it enough
* Connection how do i connect the pipe to saddle (I have considered the following Weld seam to Pipe Bonded , Weld seam to Pad bonded , Pad to Pipe frictionless - Is this enough and what faces of weld to be connected)
Any sort of help will be very useful for me to proceed further,
Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Vignesh kumar V.
