dear all,
i need some help in reading the nozzle loads from output data ,when the equipment to piping connection is modeled using wrc-297 stiffness parameters in caesar. my input is given below
WRC NOZZLE DATA FOR NODE 1210
TERMINOLOGY:
D1 - distance to stiffener or head
D2 - distance to opposite side stiffener or head
L - unsupported length of cylindrical shell,
L = 8(D1)(D2) / [ sqt(D1) + sqt(D2) ] ** 2
D - mean diameter of vessel
T - wall thickness of vessel
d - outside diameter of nozzle
t - wall thickness of nozzle
& - capital "lambda", & = L / sqt( DT )
j - "lambda", j = (d/D) * sqt(D/T)
D1 = 1000.000 D2 = 1000.000
L = 2000.000 T/t = 1.800
D = 2218.000 T = 18.000
d = 406.400 t = 10.000
& = 10.010 j = 2.034
CAUTIONS:
Lambda (j) Greater than 2.0 produces approx. rigid
junctions for longitudinal bending.
The following combinations produce rigid axial junctions:
j>1.6 &=10 / j>2.5 &=20 / j>4.0 &=50 / j>6.2 &=>100
WRC 297 NOZZLE CALCULATIONS
WRC NOZZLE NODE = 1210
VESSEL Dmean(mm.)= 2218.000 VESSEL THK. (mm.)= 18.000
NOZZLE O.D. (mm.)= 406.400 NOZZLE THK. (mm.)= 10.000
AXIAL TRANSLATIONAL STIFFNESS ( N./cm. )= 4569642.
LONGITUDINAL BENDING STIFFNESS (N.m./deg )= 203514.
CIRCUMFERENTIAL BENDING STIFFNESS (N.m./deg )= 24817.
ANGLE BETWEEN NOZZLE & VESSEL CENTERLINES(deg)= 92.0060
LENGTH (L) (mm.) = 2000.000 THICKNESS RATIO = 1.800
CAPITAL LAMBDA = 10.010 SMALL LAMBDA = 2.034
loads on restraint under normal operating case is
1210 -139. 7. -139. 0. 0. 0. Flex X
1210 0. 0. 0. 29763. -1474. 29763. Rigid RX
1210 0. 5830. 0. 0. 0. 0. Rigid Y

1210 0. 0. 0. -11907. 0. 11907. Flex RX
now how to arrive at the nozzle loads at node 1210 from above result.
