The example in Megyesy does not address the design of the saddle itself, so there is only a comparison of the vessel stresses. As an example, we have simulated an example of the Zick analysis performed in the “Pressure Vessel Handbook” by Megyesy.
Units: English or Metric (Click of the button automatically toggles all inputs and results) Sample Output: The following pages are the output from the Saddle spreadsheet. It requires MS Excel 2000 or later to run. Platform: Saddle is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. A complete analysis is also performed on the saddle, calculating stresses on bolts, base plate, web, stiffeners, and wear plate. The program allows the user to specify the wind load, thermal loads, liquid load, and seismic loads on the vessel.
The program performs a complete analysis of teh vessels based upon L.
Saddle Developer: Meca Enterprises Chris Rosencutter Description: Perform analysis of a horizontal vessel supported on two saddles.
