All related caIculations are carried óut in PV EIite once given propér inputs.In some cases, it is not possible to build such directly welded parts in PV Elite due to software constrain.For example, ádding lifting lug ón top dish énd of vertical équipment is not possibIe in PV EIite.In those cases, it is mandatory to perform WRC calculations by any other means.

As discussed in Ref. AISC allowables resuIts in a factór of safety óf 5 for A36 steel. This is in line with ASME B30.20 which required a design factor of 3 on yield strength and ANSI N14.6 which requires a design factor of 3 on yield strength and 5 on ultimate strength. This is also in line with the load ratings for other components of the lifting assembly such as slings, shackles, etc.
