Seismic Calculation of Extruder

A) Method 1
By using STADPRO software
Steps
1. Require minimum input from the vendor
a. Weight of each part
b. Position & height of center of gravity
c. Foundation Foot print (Anchor Location)

2. Modeling of the extruder in STADPro like pipe (Detail Modeling is Not required) also Need to
mark the Anchor points.

3. Providing the weights at CG As provided by the vendor

4. Apply the Seismic condition and load cases

5. Run the model and get the Seismic loading data.

Maximum Estimated time to calculate the Seismic load for extruder Package is 1 Week
Only (40 Hrs. Maximum)

B) Method 2 (Alternate Method)

By Considering the fixed time Period (For most of the Horizontal Equipment time period is 0.03
Sec)
Steps
1. Require minimum input from the vendor
d. Weight of each part
e. Position & height of center of gravity
f. Foundation Foot print (Anchor Location)

2. Calculate the operating weight at each anchor based on the above input.

3. Based on the time period and operating weight, further seismic calculations will be easy.

Maximum Estimated time to calculate the Seismic load for extruder Package is 1 Week
Only (40 Hrs. Maximum)
