Shell local thickness for nozzles

Sometimes is needed to increase locally the thickness of the vessel wall to reinforce the nozzles (under pressure load or external loads), instead of increasing the whole course or head thickness (for economic reasons). Simulating this local thickness with an external pad reinforcement is not necessarily correct, since for example the calculated limit of reinforcement can not be correct in some cases. A particular input for this would be helpful.
