For SW6 software, how do I calculate the nozzles on the head that are perpendicular to the center line?
Thread Content
The SW6 software now considers vertical containers; for the nozzles on the head, only options parallel to the center line or parallel to the normal of the opening are available. How can openings perpendicular to the center line be calculated?
Calculations can be performed by entering the angle.
It seems like there’s no option to enter an angle
If it has to be done, conduct a stress analysis. . .
The opening position can be adjusted to avoid such dead zones, as welding in those areas is also difficult.
Explain the issue to the client, and they will accept your suggestions. We often persuade the client to change the structure without affecting its functionality.
It is possible to calculate using the longer axis of the ellipse forming the opening as the diameter of that opening, but the position of the opening should be within 0.8 times of this diameter.
I’ll give it a try to see if I can perform a local stress analysis of the components
