Modeling the storage considering settlement and Bulging effect:-
1-Input the design and operating Temp & Pressure
2-Model the nozzle flange 10-20.
3-Model the projection as pipe element 20-30 with same pipe diameter & schedule given in the drawing for the nozzle up to nozzle pipe and Tank intersection.
4-Define API 650 Nozzle at element 20-30 i.e. Check mark the Nozzle option and select the type as API 650.
5-Fill up the details of the tank in API Nozzle spreadsheet from the Data Sheet provided by the vendor.
6-Fill up the details as nozzle node as 30 (intersection of tank and nozzle) and tank node as 40.
7-Start the next element 40-50 length equal to the radius of the tank with dia & schedule of the tank.
8-Model 40-50 as weightless rigid element with diameter & schedule of the tank.
9-Model 50-60 vertically length equal to the elevation of the nozzle up to bottom of the tank as rigid with no weight and diameter and schedule that of the tank.
10-Define the Anchor at 60 with C Node 61.
11-Define the displacement at node 61 DY equal to the Tank settlement in mm and input 0 in all other fields DX, DZ, RX, RY, RZ.
12-For the Tank Bulging effect and radial expansion of tank, define the displacement at node 40 along the Nozzle axis DZ in mm and rotations RX in degrees and input 0 in all other fields DX, DY, RY, RZ IN VECTOR 2.
13-Check the Nozzle loads at node 30 against the allowable given by the vendor from the datasheet.
