Fig. 1. Supporting legs on the shell

Supporting legs can be connected to the lower head or cylindrical shell of vessel casing. There can be any number of legs (not less than 2). Loads in the weld point of each leg is defined automatically from the analysis of statically undeterminable beam system, and are individual for each leg.

Note: The strength and buckling of the legs structure is checked simplistic, like a bar loaded with axial force.
