pulling trough calculations

[gpz]

Has anyone an example of a pulling trough calculation? I mean I have to calculate the fixed saddle stress due to the shear force by the pulling through of the U tubes bundle in a S&T exchanger.

thanks in advance

I have done it according to the D. Moss "Preessure vessel design", I found some considerations in the chapter corcerning "large vessel saddles".
I think all the principle SW enable to do it, for sure PV elite and MT MECH.
