Hello. I am trying to model a vessel with several nozzles. A couple of the nozzles are a case of d/D > 0.5, therefore WRC 297 will not work. This tells me I am to model (using cnodes at the troublesome nozzles, I believe) an anchor with stiffnesses in all diretions. We do not have an FEA program; so how am I to determine what the stiffnesses are?
Thanks for any and all assistance.
