components:
Since NozzlePRO enables FEA results to be seamlessly incorporated within traditional
code-based analysis, projects can benefit from the accuracy of FEA and the practicality of code-based analysis. For example, the flexibilities and SIFs analysis results can be

•tGenerate fatigue calculations.
Component input is quick and straightforward while also allowing customization of the
mesh and boundary conditions. For even more accurate evaluation of loads and displacements on the nozzle and in the piping system, users can pipe away from a piping
junction on a vessel head or cylinder to evaluate the effect of the thermal expansion on
a nozzle. Straight sections, elbows, bends, intersections, and linear restraints may all be
included in the nozzle analysis.
