"Garbage in, garbage out." If your layout logic is wrong, the computer’s colored stress plot (red = fail) is just a confirmation of your layout error. For pressure vessels, the concern is "local stress"

For pressure vessels, the concern is "local stress" where the nozzle meets the shell. A heavy pipe pulling down on a nozzle creates a shear load. A thermal expansion pushing sideways creates a bending moment. Lesson 1 of the Fluor training immediately categorizes

Lesson 1 of the Fluor training immediately categorizes pipe stress into three distinct types. As a designer, you do not need to perform the finite element analysis (that’s the stress engineer’s job), but you must recognize the conditions.
