Verification & Validation
We do not have experimental data to validate our results. So we'll be carrying out only verification here.
Comparison with Hand Calculations
We'll check the following using hand calculations:
Reaction in axial (z) direction where mid nozzle is attached to top nozzle (not modeled)
Thermal strain
Hoop stress
Bolt preload
