Agenda
1. Analyze support brackets mounted to exterior of a pressure vessel.
2. Begin with a breakout orthogrid panel section and utilize enforced
displacements to simulate the internal pressure.
3. Mid-surface the bracket geometry and mesh the bracket mid-surfaces.
4. Model the various connections between the brackets and the orthogrid
panel.
5. Define the boundary conditions, enforced displacements, and loads, and
use data surface to create load set combinations.
6. Create the linear static analysis set.

Model the various connections between the brackets
and the orthogrid panel
On this step we will utilize
a custom API.
To learn more about
API’s, view the
introductory webinar or
visit the Femap API page
on our website.
