/soporte-diseno) is the primary engineering workspace in PSI for configuring support calculations. The page is currently in active development — the route renders a metrics dashboard while the full PSI design form components are built and integrated.
The
/soporte-diseno route is under active development. The PSI-specific design form components — including GeometryCard, WindCard, SeismicCard, and the five support type panels — exist in the codebase and are being wired into this route. The current page serves as a placeholder dashboard while integration is finalized.PSI Support Design Components
The following components are built and available in the source codebase undersrc/pages/Pressure/components/ and src/pages/Pressure/supports/. They will form the complete design form once integrated:
Geometry & Weight (GeometryCard)
Collects vessel dimensional and fluid properties. Labels adapt to the active unit system (SI or US Customary).
| Field | SI Unit | US Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diámetro exterior | mm | in | Outer diameter of the vessel shell |
| Longitud / Altura | mm | in | Length for horizontal vessels; height for vertical columns |
| Material del recipiente | — | — | Carbon steel, SS 304, SS 316, Alloy steel |
| Espesor de pared | mm | in | Nominal shell thickness |
| Espesor de aislamiento | mm | in | External insulation layer |
| Nivel líquido | % | % | 0–100 %, used to compute liquid weight |
| Gravedad específica del fluido | — | — | Relative to water (1.0) |
Wind Loads (WindCard)
Collects wind loading parameters for the site:
- Zona de viento — automatic zone selection: Zone 1, Zone 2, or Zone 3
- Valor de viento (opcional) — manual override in m/s or kPa (SI) / mph or psf (US)
- Categoría de exposición — terrain roughness: B (urban/suburban), C (open terrain), D (flat/open water)
- Factor de importancia — applied to base wind pressure per the selected code
Seismic Loads (SeismicCard)
Displays different fields based on the active design code.
ASME/ASCE mode:
- Site class: A, B, C, D, E, or F
- Ss — mapped spectral acceleration at short periods
- S1 — mapped spectral acceleration at 1-second period
- Factor de respuesta R — response modification coefficient
- Ciudad — city name for reference
- Estado — Venezuelan state (Amazonas through Dependencias Federales)
- Tipo de suelo — S1 (rock), S2, S3, or S4 (soft)
- Grupo de importancia — A (critical), B1, or B2
- Factor de respuesta R — response modification coefficient
Support Type Panels
Five support configurations are available, each with its own parameter form. See the Support Types section for full parameter documentation.Saddle
Horizontal vessel supports. Location, contact angle, web, base plate, ribs, friction.
Skirt
Cylindrical or conical skirt for vertical columns. Anchor bolt pattern and optional chairs.
Legs
Discrete structural legs (unbraced or braced). Profiles, spacing, bolt circle.
Lug
Welded plate lugs with optional gusset and pad plate sub-configurations.
Ring Support
Full circumferential ring girder with web, flange, gussets, and bolt circle.
Anchoring
Anchor bolt design — bolt quantity, material, embedment, concrete strength, anchor type.
Summary Report (SummaryReport)
Once the design form is fully integrated, the Summary Report component will consolidate all inputs into a printable document with four sections:
- Resumen — Información general — project name, working fluid, design code, design pressure, design temperature
- Geometry & Weight — outer diameter, length/height, material, wall thickness
- Wind & Seismic — wind zone and value, seismic site class or COVENIN location data
- Support configuration — support type and key geometry summary
