Different Thickness Required

11/08/2012 3:56 AM

Dear all,

I designed a vessel in PVElite and the required thickness is different from that of my colleague even though we used the same input echo.

What is responsible for this?

Is there anything wrong with my own S/ware?

Pls help

Thanks all

How about attending a local training course on the software? Would that help?

How about bouncing the design off a more experienced Engineer at the facility on the basis of "second person design-sanity-check"? Would that help?

Garbage in-Garbage out.

It's not the software, it's the people using it.

See #1 above.

You could try checking the results, heaven forbid, manually. Or is that what your colleague is doing?
