PRO/II simulates a floating valve tower with a diameter of 1600 mm.

What to do? Is it not necessary to enter the tower diameter when simulating a floating valve column with PRO/II?
Is this result normal? How to deal with this warning **WARNING**: The design diameter includes allowances for mechanical constraints. Thank you

For the second to eighth tray, if 60% of the value you set is used, the diameter calculated by the software for the second tray is 835.3 mm; mechanical constraints may arise during installation, so it’s likely that installation will be difficult. Therefore, the software suggests a diameter of 911.5 mm with FF=50.4. There are no issues with the ninth to twentieth trays. As for the solution, I think the FF value can be adjusted based on the results calculated by software.
What does the “NEXT SMALLER NEXT LARGER” column mean?
FF corresponding to larger and smaller tray diameters
FF corresponding to larger and smaller tray diameters
