Cyclic Design in Compress 1

JordanB13 · Mar 3, 2016

Hi everyone, usually a spectator here but couldn't find any info on this.

Looking to design a blowcase using Compress, but can not seem to figure out if Compress has a feature to do cyclic design on a vessel.

Any knowledge or suggestions are welcome if someone has managed to do this before.

Thanks in advance!

If by "cyclic design" you mean that the vessel is in cyclic service as described in ASME Section VIII, Division 1, UG-22(e), then no, Compress does not do this. Designing for cyclic service is a specialized affair that requires expertise - usually in applying Design By Analysis in ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5.
