Flexible Hoses
Flexible Hoses
(OP)
I have several lines connected to a reactor that contain a short span (~3-4 ft in length) of flexible hose approximately 15-20 ft away from the RX connection flanges. What is the best way to model these in C2?
RE: Flexible Hoses
If you have any offsets in your system I think it cannot be modeled correctly in the software.
RE: Flexible Hoses
In case the nozzle diameters are large which introduce stiffness in the system, and they introduce large vertical loads in addition to other loads on the thin shell so I suggest you to contact to the supplier and get all the required stiffness values and material properties, and model it. If you install it with a curvature you need to follow the curvature in the model by considering its material properties.
