How to calculate the flat cover flange for horizontal containers using SW6-2011
Thread Content
Dear teachers, in SW6 I don’t find the option for flat-headed end caps for horizontal containers, whereas this option is available for vertical containers. What is the reason for this?
Generally, horizontal containers do not require flat cover heads, and the saddles of horizontal heat exchangers do not need to be calculated.
It can be calculated by component...
Container structures come in a wide variety of forms, so one cannot rely solely on calculations for a single type of structure to cover everything. Other methods, including component calculation, can be employed. Finally, just create a calculation sheet. But note that some structures are not allowed under conventional calculations
What was said on the 4th floor is right, ME TO.
This is because the computational mechanics model of a horizontal vessel is a simply supported beam with cantilevered ends, and the cantilevered sections are simplified from the elliptical head. If one end has a flat cover, it does not match the several-month model. It cannot be calculated using sw6.
The horizontal vessel model in the standard uses an elliptical head
We have encountered the same problem as well
Well, I’ve learned it – I’ll use components for the calculations
