Stress Analysis
- Grow skills in assessing piping systems to determine the need for flexibility analysis and whether analysis is necessary per the appropriate ASME B31 code.
- Perform with supervision pipe stress analysis using hand calculations and analytical methods with software to evaluate sustained, pressure, displacement range and occasional loading requirements.
- Perform basic pipe stress analysis and / or pipe wall thickness (pressure and vacuum) calculations.
- Use under supervision and development knowledge of CAESAR II, RISA 3-D, FEA and hand calculations for piping analysis and support / restraint design in a 2D + 3D environment.
- Coordinate and communicate in a 3D environment using AutoCAD, Inventor, Navisworks, Revit etc.
- Review loads on equipment nozzles, recommend piping and / or nozzle reconfiguration to qualify both.
- Support the development of a series of (standard) installation details to anchor / guide pipes to accommodate the loading conditions determined during analysis to include details for shaft risers, wall mounted systems, systems supported by moment frames, vibration isolated systems, etc.
