pressure thrust load with using Caeser II
pressure thrust load with using Caeser II
(OP)
Dear Caeser II experts,
Q1 Does the nozzle loads analyzed by Caeser II consider the pressure thrust or not?
Q2 Does it require to consider the pressure thrust load and add the pressure thrust into the nozzle loads obtained by Caeser II?
Regards,

If you're talking about WRC 107/297, you can check the "Include Pressure Thrust" item in the Loads tab in the WRC interface.
As to whether or not you should consider this, there are several threads about this topic, some of which are:

I'm not sure if it's required per ASME rules, but there's no doubt that pressure thrust exists.Regards

I am not talking about WRC107/297, which is for loacl stresses analysis at the joint of nozzle to vessel shell. WRC107/297 does not consider the internal pressure, so there is a simple way to instead of the internal pressure load by using WRC368 (presure thrust). The question is whether the actual nozzle loads provided by Caesar II include the pressure thrust load if the internal pressure as the load input of Caesar II.
I think that it does the pressure thrust automatically in Caesar II when pressure is put in as a load input.
