Submodeling Study for a Pressure Vessel

You create a submodeling study based on the static analysis of a pressure vessel. The submodeling study contains only the supporting frame of the pressure vessel model. Then you refine the solid mesh of the supporting frame and rerun the analysis to improve the accuracy of the results.

To open the model, go to install_dir\samples\whatsnew\Submodeling\pressure_vessel.sldprt.

Review the Ready Pressure study features:
  • Applies a pressure of 100 psi on the inner faces of the tank.
  • Defines a distributed mass of 700 lbs (for liquefied gas) inside the tank.
  • Applies a gravity load.
  • Applies four mesh controls.
  1. Creating the Submodeling Study
    You create a submodeling study that contains only the bodies of the supporting frame.
  2. Meshing the Submodel and Running the Study
    You refine the mesh of the solid bodies to improve the accuracy of the results for the submodel.
  3. Viewing Results for the Submodel
    After running the submodeling study, you can plot results for the submodel only.
