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. 0. -10724. 0. Flex RY
1210 -5878. 0. 5878. 0. 0. 0. Rigid X
1210 0. 0. 0. -11907. 0. 11907. Flex RX

now how to arrive at the nozzle loads at node 1210 from above result.

You take from Restraint summary. Here is shown the contribution of each individual restraint to the global result.
