Boundary conditions on a flanged pipe?

13 January 2019 1 4K Report

Hey guys I want to ask a question regarding the BC's on this pipe.Should I fix only the face of the flanges or the whole flange?Also,should I fix the bolt holes?

Thank you very much

Thomas Mikolajewski

It depends on how accurate you want your solution

If you don't need an accurate solution near the flange, then you can fix the face.

If you need an accurate simulation of the flange then use a spyder remote connection with springs on each bolt.
