A special design challenge represented the complex modeling of the structure having 1,424 surfaces, 158 solids and 425 members. Model Input The filter was modeled with linear elastic shell and solid elements. It consists of the following main structural components: ? floor slab ? filter bottom ? container wall with torispherical head and ring flange applied at bottom ? bracket
