Can anyone explain to me the basis of the stress error when plotted using the ERR option.
Specifically, is this reporting the error in the energy norm or a more tangible error such as actual "stress" or a percentage error?
I can't find anything in the user manual that explains this.
The footnote to UG-45 refers to a material specification that does not use schedule weights acc. to B36.10M. In this case the specification's own 'regular' pipe weight should be used as the minimum thickness even when less than standard weight pipe.
This may be a stretch but can this be used...
I would be grateful for any opinions/experience on this issue.
In the design of tall towers/columns it is possible that either wind or seismic loading will induce longitudinal stress levels in the shell which can control the shell thickness. Within ASME VIII Div 2 this is covered in section...
