Hello Dave,
Thank you for this information.
Another point of my concern is the nozzle loads.
For example, I have an axial load on the nozzle for Fx = 10kg (without thrust load) and my allowable is 80 kg.
If Caesar II computed a pressure thrust load of 100 kg, then the total loads on the nozzle would be 110kg which now exceeds the allowable value of 80kg.
This is the reason why I go for such details of computing the actual thrust load effect on the nozzle, as I read that the full thrust load will not be experienced by the nozzle but rather go to the equipment's support.
Can you suggest a way to work around this or is there an option for Caesar II to not include the thrust loads on the nozzle loads computation?
Thank you very much.
