Gentlemen,

Yesterday I have faced new problem while I found different thicknesses for a division 2 SS vessel on PV Elite and on COMPRESS. Particularly the girth flanges that were failing in COMPRESS and asked thickness as much as 360 mm to pass on COMPRESS went through even with 280 mm thickness in PV Elite and surprisingly there was no yielding exceeding in PV Elite whereas it did on COMPRESS.

Did anyone found similar problem I would welcome your advice and guidance.

Regards,
