Are you struggling with time-consuming finite element analysis (FEA) for nozzle connections? The Nozzle FEA tool will cut FEA analysis time from weeks to minutes while ensuring full ASME VIII-2 compliance. In this article, the authors compare nozzle design by rule to design by analysis and highlight how this webtool consistently outperforms the competition.
Cloud computing and automation are reshaping what’s possible in asset evaluation and management. In this article, the author provides a look inside the architecture of the new FEA Suite, shares real-world case studies, and explains how distributed computing helps overcome common barriers to Level 3 assessments. Get a glimpse into the future of faster, more reliable analysis.
There are several assessment procedures available for evaluating dents and determining whether a dent poses a viable threat to the integrity of a component. Read about common analysis methods for the critical failure mechanisms, potential failure mechanisms such as creep, complex dent configurations, and highlight the value of using a Level 3 finite element analysis (FEA) to determine whether the dent is truly a problem.
ASME VIII-1 Appendix 2 flange design rules states flanges should be sufficiently robust to withstand the stresses produced by operating loads; however, what happens if those flanges leak during operation?. Do you know what options are available to reduce or eliminate the potential risk of leakage in bolted flange joints? In this article, Bob Davis introduces several options to evaluate bolted flange designs with the goal of minimizing the risk of leakage without risking damage to any of the joint components.
SIMFLEX-IV, the latest update to E2G’s cloud-based piping stress analysis software, will help you prevent potential failures by improving the structural integrity of piping systems and supporting structures. In a single run, you will be able to assess sustained, occasional, and displacement stresses at every data point throughout the piping system. This article introduces you to fast and easy ways to integrate advanced static and dynamic piping stress analysis into your daily workflow.
Steam piping systems that are not adequately controlling condensate levels may experience a steam hammer event, which is when a slug of condensate is propelled at high velocity down the piping system. When the large dynamic slug force hits an elbow or pipe cap, it can displace the piping system or slide the pipe shoes off the structural members. In this case study, Kraig Shipley discusses a recent consulting project that used SIMFLEX-IV to determine if a steam header was still fit -for -service after a steam hammer event.
