WRC 107/297
Engineering Software for calculation of local stresses on heads and cylinders due to external loads on nozzles.
- Calculation of maximum allowable loads, which gives the possibility to analyse a given situation with an unknown factor (force or moment).
- Both design and analysis mode, creating the advantage to be flexible.
- Allowable stresses according to ASME section I DIV 1 and DIV 2, Codap, BS5500 and Stoomwezen. Now you can calculate according to the material database of the American, French, British and Dutch allowable stresses.
- Stresses due to pressure can be calculated in several ways, giving you a powerful tool to use different methods to calculate pressure stress (e.g. Nominal, Farr and ASME).
- Automatic calculation of stresses at reinforcing pads, no additional calculations necessary.
- Extensive material and piping database, pick a material from the powerful database and the material data will be carried forward into the program.
- User can modify values from the curves, WRC program uses the curves defined by WRC. The user can then modify these values so that user defined calculations are possible.
- Possibility to view the WRC curves/charts
- User-defined load database for standard load cases, a set of load cases can be stored in the program giving the user a fast access to common load cases, which gives uniformity and speed to the calculations.
- Two methods of calculating equivalent stresses (Tresca / Von Mises), making the program usable according to the two equivalent stress methods. This feature will give the user many more possibilities and flexibility.
A powerful design tool developed by CEA Technology to prevent and safeguard the vessel from being overstressed due to sustained and/or thermal loading from the piping system.
