How to calculate on flanged welded cylinders
If it refers to reinforcement through opening, the equal-area reinforcement method involves turning the part of the flange that can be used for reinforcement into a surface area (using AutoCAD software for 1:1 drawing), and then calculating its area. If equal-area reinforcement is not applicable, there is no other option.
Calculate using the flange on the parts in SW6
In SW6 software, only the parameters of the head can be entered; how should the parameters of the cylinder be considered?
Do you mean that the flange is installed differently on the cylinder body compared to the head?
If there is no external load, perform hole reinforcement; if there is an external load, conduct stress analysis
The calculation of flange openings requires taking into account the effects of external loads and bending moments
