They are asking for calculations of impulsive, convective and vertical stresses of the movement of the oil inside.</p> <p>I have found the possibility of calculations in AutoPIPE Vessel of impulsive and convective stresses with earthquake model ASCE 7-2010 if you design <span style="text-decoration:underline;">a tank</span> instead of a pressure vessel, but it seems impossible to support it with legs as my pressure vessel.</p> <p>Is the&nbsp;request of our customer of such a calculation for a pressure vessel reasonable?</p> <p>Does Eurocode 8 - part 4 - section &quot;Tanks&quot; apply also to pressure vessels?</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/f/autopipe-vessel-forum/102083/autopipe-vessel-asme-u-stamp-program-verificationThu, 23 Oct 2014 20:41:18 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7f76714e-227e-4070-85f1-e20ed2b07a63Marcos Cruces<p><br />Are there any tests for AutoPIPE Vessel to download in order to demonstrate U-Stamp inspectors that the program does reliable calculations? I specially refer&nbsp; tubesheet and flanges calculations.</p> <p><br />Has anybody experience about that?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
