ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 provides a methodical approach to determine adequacy of static equipment and pressure vessel component design.
This course provides detailed rules for performing analysis.
These analysis are to be conducted in a CAE tool like ANSYS.
The underlying philosophy of this code is to provide protection against failure modes.
For every failure mode, an analyst is presented with various methodological possibilities of the analysis.
The competency of the engineer is tested in both ways, selecting an appropriate technique and performing the analysis adhering to the guidelines of the code.
Such Engineering professional requires deep understanding of CAE to ensure adherence to the code.
