Seeking advice on equipment simulation issues

When simulating the nozzle of a cylindrical device, if the WRC297 conditions do not apply to that nozzle, by not using a WRC297-compliant nozzle, is this approach failing to take into account the flexibility of the nozzle and treating it as rigid instead? Is such an approach more conservative? This post was last edited by A Twig of Plum Blossoms on 2009-2-17 18:08.]
Regarding the forces acting on the nozzle at the top of the tower, the flexibility of the nozzle cannot be taken into account in c2. However, you can use the NozzlePro software to model the nozzle at the top of the tower in order to take flexibility into account. Or you can also use the Ansys software.
The fixed-support result is conservative, as the flexible nozzle has a certain degree of flexibility that can offset some of the forces
There is no change for primary stress; for secondary stress, it is modeled as a rigid connection, and being more conservative, no WRC is included.
