Pressure Vessel Support Stand Weldment

SOLIDWORKS weldments design functionality enables you to design a weldment structure as a single multibody part, sketching the basic framework, creating structural members with groups of sketch segments, and adding elements like gussets and end caps to complete the structure. Some SolidWorks features that come with the Weldment Program are listed below.

* Work from a library of pre-defined structural shapes.
* Generate 3D sketch lines for structural profiles to follow.
* Automatically trim structural members at intersections.
* Add stiffening plates, gussets, and end caps.
* Add optional weld beads to the design.
* Generate drawings, BOMs, cut lists, and other manufacturing documentation.

Pressure Vessel Support Stand

Weldment Model

The Pressure Vessel Support Stand was created from an initial 3D sketch, which defined the basic shape of the support stand. Different structural beams, from the SolidWorks structural beam library, were assigned to the various segments of the 3D sketch. Loads and boundary conditions are then applied to the model, and the FEA analysis is run. The results of this FEA analysis, and a Weldment drawing, can be found by clicking on the 'Professional Simulation - SolidWorks' icon at the top right of this page. of this page.

The FEA is necessary to ensure the Support Stand Weldment's structural integrity. The loads used for this FEA analysis are:

Tank and Contents Wt. = 24014 Lbs (107 kN) , Wind Velocity = 150 mph (241 km/hr).
