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.
