- This tutorial uses the model created in the Bolted Flange CAD Model tutorial. If this tutorial was not completed, use Meshed Bolted Flange.ach in your tutorial models folder.
- The pressure vessel parts and the bolt are made of Steel (ASTM-A36)
- Symmetry boundary conditions are applied along the symmetry planes.
- An internal pressure of 100 psi is applied.
- Surface contact is applied between the flanges.
- A node at the bottom of the pressure vessel will be fully constrained to make the model statically stable.
