Hello Experts,
I am currently working on designing a vertical pressure vessel in PV Elite. The vessel has a diameter of 3.2 meters and a height of 6 meters, excluding the ellipsoidal heads. It is supported by four legs of HE220B, each with a length of 1500mm.
However, I've encountered a challenge the design only passes the requirements if the legs are cross-braced.
My question to the community is what should be the appropriate size and type of section for the cross bracing, given that PV Elite does not specify this detail?
I appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide.
Thank you in advance for your help
