Essentially any PVP geometry can be modeled using FE/Pipe templates. Some standard models routinely analyzed by FE/Pipe users include… • Unreinforced and reinforced tees, lateral, and hillside nozzles or piping intersections • Saddle supported vessels and heat exchangers • Large diameter piping and ducting using shell elements • Piping systems using standard 6 degree of freedom (DOF) beam elements, new 18 DOF beam elements, or shell elements • Vessels with all geometric features including nozzles, support skirts, heads, structural clips, and stiffening rings.
