Lug support band in Compress
Lug support band in Compress
(OP)
I have a vertical vessel that is supported by 4 lugs. Instead of each lug having its own re pad, there is a continuous reinforcing band welded to the vessel. The 4 lugs are welded to this band. Is there any way to model this band as a pad in Compress or Nozzlepro?
Thanks!
Thanks!
RE: Lug support band in Compress
In any case, the effect of such a band on the lugs and stresses in the shell would seem to be small. How would this band help?
If something like this is thought necessary I would use a narrow shell course of the total shell thickness (original shell + proposed band).
