Static, Elastic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Approaches to Address ASME


Section VIII Division 2 Part 5 Design Requirements

 Outline of Elastic Finite Element Solution Approaches


 Why do we need to run a finite element analysis?
 Pressure Vessels / Heat Exchangers
 Piping (B31.3 304.7.2)
 Getting Code compliant reports from finite element calculations

calculations)
 Typical Steps in an analysis
 Model Validation
 Strain gages
 Acoustic emission
 Deformation measurement
 Calculation verification
 Commercial Issues
 What documents must be signed and stamped
 Interacting with the Inspector
 Nameplates
 Identifying what needs to be included in the model
 Combining FEA solution results with Part IV Design by Rule Results
 Reasons to perform FEA Analysis
 Code Compliance
 Determine Design Parameters
 O-ring sealing
