Software for Vertical Columns |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Module V is used for medium size- to large
vertical columns and chimneys subject to wind forces. The column can
be built from various cylindrical and conical sections. It is possible
to design a stacked column consisting of separate compartments with
a different internal pressure. The compartments can be separated by
a cylindrical or conical skirt. |
| |
Wind loads, internal pressure, forces due to external
equipment (hanging reboilers), ladders, platforms, piping and packing
can be applied to each section of the column. The effect of external
forces and torques defined by user can also be calculated. For example
the forces from scaffolding with wind protection can be simulated
by adding external forces. A module is available for calculating the
forces due to earthquakes. All design parameters can be updated according
the applicable geographical circumstances. |

Construction |
Forces and torques on empty column without packing or trays, without
internals or external parts and without insulation |
| |
Test |
|
Forces and torques under test conditions: column with platforms,
ladders, test medium, insulation and wind loads |
| |
Operation |
|
Forces and torques under operation conditions: fully dressed column
under pressure in operation and wind loads |
