Effect of Blast load on a Vessel.

Dear All,

Please tell me how to consider the effects of Blast on a vessel if we know the BLAST PRESSURE, using PVElite.

Amit,

If you select the Wind Data tab and go up to Wind Design Code you will be able to select User Defined. This option allows you to enter a pressure directly. Specify an elevation that will represent the height of your vessel and read the note on use of shape factor.
