When we have a bogy flanged implemented in a cylindrical shell we need to define a thickness for shell and a thickness for flange (g0). Normally the both thickness are the same and the software only take into account the shell value for internal p...

Today only transversal wind is considered, but longitudinal wind may be significant for big vessel. In addition, those moments and loads whould be found in the foundation loads. Also, if a External load is applied, the only moment availalbe ("bend...

Possibility to add a Bolted Domed end according EN 13445.3 clause 12

Add an option to override the selected bolt area. This can be helpful when non standard neck-down bolt is used.

It is not possible to set 2.5 Convolutions (N). In some cases, I have to consider bellow with 2.5 convolution, but I cannot design as there is no option to enter this value.

When calculating earthquakes for pressure equipment, need to add design according to paragraph 3.2.2.5 of EN 1998-1. This would allow the design to consider a reduced design spectrum relative to the elastic range.

Add the updated code case 2901 calculation to the flange checking options

They appear in the list of components, the 2D and 3D view. Local loads for them can be checked in Design Component. Their welds appear in the weld map.

Currently the straight flange portion of conical shell with knuckle cannot be specified in the conical shell UI, but a feature is proposed to include that in the UI as an input to model and create drawings and include in reports.

Sometimes is needed to increase locally the thickness of the vessel wall to reinforce the nozzles (under pressure load or external loads), instead of increasing the whole course or head thickness (for economic reasons). Simulating this local thick...
