7.2 Pressure Vessels (vessels)

Purpose: Cylindrical vessel — thin/thick wall stress and required thickness.

Method: FEM shell model + classical thin-wall checks for required thickness (ASME UG-27 style screening).

UI: Modern inputs/results; unit profile.

Design codes: ASME VIII-1, EN 13445 referenced.

Gaps: No heads, nozzles, or fatigue; axisymmetric cylinder only.

Maintainer note: Thin/thick-wall logic; clear fit for shared dimension checks.
