I am designing a horizontal vessel with two saddles & TL to TL is 45000mm. First saddle is at 10000mm from left TL and second saddle is at 25000 from first saddle (or 35000 from left tangent line).

In PV Elite there a saddle location dimension 'a'.
For second saddle what is the value to be entered for the dimension 'a'???

My understanding is it should be 35000, However PV Elite allows only up to 25400 as 'a' dimension for second saddle.

Can any body help me in resolving same.

Enter the details of first saddle, then go to dialogue box for enrering details of second saddle.
1. Enter 35000 for "distance from 'From' node"
2. Enter 10000 for 'Dimension a"
