  • Force Spectrum Dynamic Analysis of Fluid Waterhammer.

  • Force Spectrum Dynamic Analysis of Relief Loads.

  • Force Spectrum Dynamic Analysis of Wind Gust Loads.

  • Fluid Mechanics Analysis of Gas or Liquid open vent relief system. Includes vent stack sizing, thrust, and pressure rise computations.

  • NRC Dynamics Benchmarks for: NUREG/CR-1677, BNL-NUREG-51267, Vol. I, 1980; and NUREG/CR-1677, BNL-NUREG-51267, Vol. II, 1985.

  • Dynamic Friction modeling based on static load case results.

  • Eleven pre-defined shock spectra including all Reg. Guide 1.60 spectra and the El Centro North-South component spectra.
