A bolted pipe flange connections are composed of hubs of pipes, pipe flanges with bolt holes, sets of bolts and nuts and a gasket which interact with each other in the tightening process, when operation loads such as internal pressure and temperature are applied.
This example shows how to perform a full stress analysis by using an economical axisymmetric model and how to assess the accuracy of the axisymmetric solution by comparing the results to those obtained from a simulation using a three-dimensional segment model.
