When leg-type supports include bracing members, PSI supports the following standard structural profiles:| Profile Type | Designation Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Angle (L) | L2x2x1/4 | Equal-leg or unequal-leg angles used as diagonal braces |
| Beam (W/I) | W8x31 | Wide-flange or I-beam sections for heavier brace frames |
| Pipe (Sch 40/80) | Pipe 3” Sch 40 | Circular hollow sections with schedule-defined wall thickness |
| Square Tube (HSS) | HSS 4x4x1/4 | Hollow structural sections for compact braced frames |
Braced Leg Configurations
For leg-supported vessels, brace members connect between the legs to resist lateral loads from wind and seismic events. The bracing layout — X-brace, K-brace, or diagonal — is configured in the Support Design page when the Legs support type is selected. The brace profile designation (e.g.,L2x2x1/4 for a 2 × 2 × 1/4 inch angle) sets the section properties used in the capacity calculations.
Weld Analysis and Weld Design
The weld modules are covered in detail on the Weld Design page. Both routes (/soldadura-analisis and /soldadura-diseno) are part of this structural elements group and are currently showing coming-soon screens as the full structural expansion is built out.
