Dear all,

At this time, I try to analyze a system to save some bad piping design.

I have a 48" line that connect to the exhaust of the turbine. The piping design didnt give me enough flexibility to save the turbine nozzle. so Im thinking, What the posible solver is using the expansion joint, but after I do the analysis the expansion joint didnt give so much answer for my problem. Load of the nozzle still to high compare with the allowable

this is my first time to use the expansion joint in my calculation, frankly Im still not sure my EJ model is correct.
so please help me to determine what should the Exp. joint type that I need to select and give me some direction to model the Exp. Joint properly.


here I attach my caesar file

Turbine


Best regard.
