BayuAdi,
Assume you have a 72 inch diameter vessel, with a 0.1875 inch wall, 40 ft tall. How do you think the deflection of this will compare with a 72 inch diameter vessel, 40 ft tall, with a 1.875 inch wall? (Forget weight, just consider horizontal deflection due to wind.)
Mr Richard,
the 0.1875 inch wall will deflect 10times the 1.875 inch wall aproximately.
so when i model high rises column with piping support attached in to it as clip support (either resting or guide) it will be better if I model the column with pipe element to reflect real condition, right? my principal from previous company taught me to model vertical vessel higher than 15m as pipe element, and below 15m is okay to use zero weight rigid element.
my case now is I have to model 5.3m diameter vessel and 33m tall sitting on FPSO topside conected to 30" SS pipe.
Regards,
Bayu
