Lifting lugs in PvElite 2010: layout angle problem - 03/09/10 08:47 AM
I'm having some problems with the input of 4 lifting lugs on an horizontal vessel.
I'm specifying 2 lifting lugs per group (so the vessel weight is divided by four instead of 2), but I can't specify the angle between vertical plane and lifting lug.
If I input 45 degrees, in order to have each lifting lug midway between horizontal and vertical planes, this is what I obtain: the lugs axis is moved 45° degrees away from the vessel axis.
I also noticed that, even if I have defined a lining weight only in operation, not in workshop, the lugs are designed considering (empty+lining)* 0.25 instead of empty * 0.25
