I am not designing a cylinder under internal pressure.I am designing a cylinder under hydrostatic pressure.Going through literature,I came to know that we can model it using Cartesian Coordinates.It shouldn't effect the solution. Regards

I actually haven't used cylindrical coordinates?

Thanks..I am going to try the ones suggested by you..I am attaching my file in case you want to have a look at it...http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9330b879-f15f-4e99-becc-0f534063ba14&file=designingunderpressure.rar

u r right about constraining the perimeter! what would u suggest as boundary conditions?

Hey!!! I designed a simple long thin open ended cylinder in ANSYS and the type of loading is hydrostatic pressure. I calculated the buckling pressures for different modes shapes (n=1,2,3...) using Von-mises and Donnel's equation.Both have used classical simply supported boundary conditions.I...
