Using SW6 software to verify the strength of tubular shaft lugs in chemical processing equipment and to analyze the stresses in the equipment housing

Thread Content

I work in equipment lifting, and I need to design the lifting lugs for equipment. A friend recommended the SW6 software, which allows me to use the information on local stresses in the components to determine whether the design of the lifting lugs is satisfactory, as well as whether the local stresses in the equipment are within acceptable limits. When using WRC297 for verification, the value (of Ram) always ends up being greater than 2, which makes verification impossible; hence, verification cannot be carried out. A friend said that WRC107 uses solid tubes, and tube-axis lugs can only be used with WRC297. Could someone tell me which one I should use for the local stress analysis of the shaft-type lugs? Are the data entered in the above images correct? There are also EN13445 and CSCBPV-TD001-2013 among the local stress standards – which one should be used? Can SW6 be used for the verification of shaft-type lugs?
