Case studies

Turning citrus peel into a good deal

Calculations performed:
Calculations of pipe systems in the process facility for drying citrus peels.

Analyses have been made for pressure, thermal, wind, snow and seismic loads. 

Software used:
CAEPIPE
​​​​​​​
Design code:
ASME 13.3

The mobile destruction facility

Calculations performed:
Calculation of load-bearing structures in process plants whose task is to destroy military ammunition containing chemical or explosive substances.

The facilities were verified, among other things, to withstand seismic loads according to American building standards American National Standards Institute, American Institute of Steel Construction och American Society of Civil Engineers

Software used:
ANSYS Classic,
ANSYS Workbench (WB)
ANSA
​​​​​​​
Design code:
ANSI/AISC 341
ANSI/AISC 360
ASCE/ASEI 7-10

Firewater system

Calculations performed:
​​​​​​​A customer who delivers floating accommodation platforms needed help reviewing the design of their firewater system. The structural loads considered in the calculations are pressure and temperature as well as loads from snow, wind, explosions and seismic loads.

Software used:
Peps, Pipestress, EditPipe
​​​​​​​
Design code:
ASME B31.3

Multibody Dynamics of a backhoe loader

Calculations performed:
Stability calculations on rail-mounted backhoe loaders equipped with both lifting arm and passenger lift.

​​​​​​​The calculations aimed to define a safe working range during maneuvering of the two arms.

Software used:
ANSA - KINETICS tool for Multi Body Dynamics (MBD)
​​​​​​​
Design code:
ASME 13.3
