Flanged Joint Leak Tightness Analysis: Calculation and FEA
Flanged joint leak tightness analysis must consider both the stress state of its components and the gasket’s ability to maintain a uniform seal. In complex configurations, design by analysis makes it possible to assess phenomena that simplified analytical methods may not adequately represent. Why is flanged joint leak tightness analysis necessary? The assessment of critical […]
Aeroelastic Design of Large-Scale Solar PV Systems: Prevention Through Innovation
In recent years, the solar photovoltaic sector has followed a clear trend toward lightweight supporting structures to reduce costs and improve competitiveness. However, this approach, combined with new regulatory and site conditions, has increased the importance of aeroelasticity in photovoltaic installations as a critical factor for plant safety and lifespan Aeroelasticity in Photovoltaic Installations and Wind in PV […]
Key Factors for Driving the Energy Transition Through Advanced Simulation
The energy transition towards a more sustainable model is one of the main challenges we currently face. The ambitious decarbonization goals aim to reduce emissions and transform energy supply into a more sustainable model, shifting from a sole reliance on fossil fuels to integrating various renewable energy sources. One of the key tools enabling this […]

ADVANTAGES OF INCORPORATING THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO THE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL
Fatigue Analysis by Finite Element Method of Process Equipment
OBJECTIVE For this project, a major manufacturer of process equipment and pressure vessels commissioned CADE to perform the fatigue validation of the design of a reactor intended for installation in a petrochemical plant. The validation of the mechanical design, previously developed by the manufacturer, was carried out in accordance with ASME VIII Div.2 (“Fatigue Assessment […]
Leak Prevention in Hydrogen Systems: A Comprehensive Approach to Industrial Safety
Safety in hydrogen installations is a critical aspect in the modern energy industry. Throughout history, numerous incidents have demonstrated the serious consequences that can result from leaks in high-pressure systems, especially when dealing with flammable gases such as hydrogen, which have been recorded (h2tools.org) and analysed in detail forming a database of causes and lessons […]
