Use the following procedure to help fix files that cause AutoPIPE to display the following when importing an NTL file created from a translated PCF file:

---------------------------
Confirm
---------------------------
 Import process aborted. Review error messages :
---------------------------
Yes   No   Cancel  
---------------------------

1. When the following appears; select the "Yes" button.
   
   

2. AutoPIPE report viewer should have automatically opened the SYSTEMNAME.msg file from the same folder location where the PCF file was stored.  

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the listing to see the number of errors:

4. Search the entire file for these three Error locations:

5. Navigate to the folder where the PCF file is located, searching for the PCF translated NTL file. Open the SYSTEMNAME.NTL file in any word processor (NotePad, WordPAD, MS Word, etc..).
   
   Note: best to have an word processing applcaition (i.e. NotePAD++, UltraEDIT, etc..) that displayes the current cursor location with both column and row indicators..

6. Start AutoPIPE, please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

   Help > Contents> Search Tab> enter "Command Card Reference" (include the quotes), press List Topics button, double click on the selected topic from the list provided to see more information. 

7. Using the command card reference in conjuction with the error message, investigate the NTL file to locate and fix the issue. When you have corrected the problem, save the NTL file to a different name (example: test1.NTL), and back inside AutoPIPE select File> Open> AutoPIPE Batch (*.NTL) to open the file again.

8. If - everthing was corrected, the model should be displayed.
   If - the file caused the application to abort again, start the same process over from the top using the new file.

Issue #1:

The following is found in the MSG log file:

*** ERROR: INVALID THICKNESS GIVEN. PIPE IGNORED.
*** ERROR: UNSUPPORTED OR UNRECOGNIZED ELEMENT TAG.

Solution #1 :

After converting PCF file to NTL file with the AutoPIPE translator, open the NTL files in any text editor program,  search for all occurrence of "PIPE", the 2nd entry is supposed to be the wall thickness (Please see the following AutoPIPE help section: Help > Contents> Search Tab> enter "PIPE - Pipe Data" (include the quotes), press List Topics button, double click on the selected topic from the list provided to see more information). AutoPIPE does not allow a negative wall thickness. Remove all the -ve signs (ex "-9.00" should be "9.00",save the file, and open in AutoPIPE.

Solution #2:

After converting PCF file to NTL file with the AutoPIPE translator, open the NTL files in any text editor program,  search for all occurrence of "COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE4", this value should start with a  number (ex. “COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE4 204-AFRA-0300”,  or “COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE4 600-FPA-0800”). The following is NOT acceptable: “COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE4 -0011-0011”, notice the first character was a “-“ character instead of a number. Per this example, insert a valid number before "-0011-0011".

Issue #2

The following is found in the MSG log file:

*** ERROR: MATERIAL FILE NOT FOUND.

Answer: Be sure that the material file (xxx.LIB) specified on the PCF translator dialog screen is actually in the AutoPIPE directory folder. If not, select a material library that is in the folder.

Example:On the PCF translator dialog screen, material library = B313-12, AutoPIPE 9.5.x and lower does not have ASME B31.3 2012 piping code or material LIB file. Therefore, must change PCF material library to a LIB file available in the respective version of AutoPIPE.

Problem:

Typical question / issues with AutoPIPE's Output "Results Summary" Sub Report

Questions / Issues:

1. Model is producing the following warning in the Results Report:
   
                    Maximum displacement stress ratio =  zero
   
   Answer:
   
   This is correct if the model meets the following criteria:
   
        A. Model/Segment does not contain any bends
        B. Under Tools> Model Option> Results> Include axial force is disabled (checked OFF). 
                 Note: See the online help for information on Results Option: "Include axial force".
   
   Under these conditions, the pipe is free to move in the axial direction without any resistance due to friction on the supports. In addition, the "Include axial force" option is turned off as to not report any stress in the results.
   
   Avoidance:To see a Maximum Displacement stress in a model with no bends and/or "Include axial force" option disabled (checked Off)
   
         A. Under Tools> Model Option> Results> Include axial force is enabled (checked ON). 
         B. Add friction values to pipe supports and perform a Non-linear analysis which will consider
              Gaps/Friction/Soil.

Comments, Questions, and Answers on Piping code calculations

1. Why is AutoPipe not considering the longitudinal term of the equation in 4.7.1.  In some cases there isn't any stress in the expansion cases, so this makes sense, however various nodes do have significant expansion stress, which is as much as or more than the hoop stress, however AutoPipe is still only reporting the hoop stress for Tensile 1.
   
   Answer: See Tool> Model Options> Results> "Include axial force" option
   
   Excerpt from online help:
   
   The piping codes ignore the effect of axial force for calculating stresses in the sustained and occasional categories (only bending moments are considered, see Code Compliance Calculations). This option has been provided to allow the inclusion of axial force effects. By default this option is unchecked....

Problem:

AutoPIPE: E801-1: Unstable System

When running an anlysis the following occurs:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
 E801-1:   FATAL ERROR : Unstable system. Need support at node XXX    Dir XX
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

Why and how to fix it?

TR Number: None
Product: AutoPIPE
Version: n/a
Area: General, analysis
Problem ID#: 75241

Answer:

There are many issues that can cause an unstable system. Insufficient supports, not enough guides for wind or earthquake loading, insufficient soil stiffness in the vertical direction for soil problems. Evaluate your support arrangement for your particular loading conditions to see where the instability lies.

Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Bentley AutoPIPE> Frequently Asked Questions> FAQ document> FAQ #19.

In addition, Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

Help > Contents> Search Tab> enter "E801" (include the quotes), press List Topics button, double click on the selected topic from the list provided to see more information.

Again, there could be numerous reasons for the "Error "E801-1: FATAL ERROR: Unstable System" message to appear while running a stress analysis, see the following for possible cause and fixes:

Scenario #1
================================

After importing in the frame model through Pipelink. Error "E801-1: FATAL ERROR: Unstable System. Need support at node XX" is encountered. The AutoPIPE model (without the frame model) runs with no issues. I'm unsure why AutoPIPE would think the frame model is unsupported when the frame model runs with no problems in STAAD.

FIX:
While reviewing the AutoPIPE model, multiple imported beams were found to have their ends released in all direction, (i.e. on a beam dialog screen is the following option "End Releases: End-I/J Axial (translation), Y-Y and Z-Z".

Therefore the beams were able to freely rotate. AutoPIPE requires that all components are restrained to some small degree in at least one direction.

Checked one box for Axial (translation), Y-Y or Z-Z for all beams.

Note: The STAAD model failed when loads were applied, it was also fixed.

Scenario #2
================================

Using copy / paste command to create a 10' x 10' grid of beams over 100' x100' area. when running analysis the message appeared.

Fix:
When using copy / paste command, only the initial pasted to point is actually connected. All other connections need to be manually connected. Every intersection across the 100 x 100 ' area needed t be correctly connected.

Scenario #3
================================

Similar to scenario #1, after importing in the frame model through Pipelink. Error "E801-1: FATAL ERROR: Unstable System. Need support at node XX" is encountered. The AutoPIPE model (without the frame model) runs with no issues. The model appears to be all correct and all the beam are were found to be all connected.

Fix:
1. Go to Modify – Properties of Beam Section.
2. Select Section ID 2 (UA90x90x8)
3. Toggle from Standard to Non Standard Section type
4. Do not alter any properties, just click Apply and OK.

Now the model is OK.

The development team is looking into this issue and hope to have it resolve in AutoPIPE 9.6 and higher.

Scenario #4
================================

Back to back expansion joints where Torsional stiffness = 0.00.

Fix:
All AutoPIPE components must be connected to an object (i.e. anchor) to resist being rotated freely in any one of the 6 axis. In this case the expansion joint may be connected to an anchor through some piping but due to the "Torsional stiffness" = 0.00 the piping between the expansion joints would freely spin. To stop the warning from appearing, set Torsional stiffness = +ve value >0 (ex. 0.01).

Questions and Answer:

1. Modeling an Elbow with Tappered weld joint for Nuclear NB analysis
   
   Answer: Model elbow as described above, at each end of the elbow where the elbow is welded to the pipe, Insert> Xtra Data> joint Type and User SIF> there are multiple "Joint Type"  available
   
        As-Welded Butt Weld
        Flush Butt Weld
        As-Welded Butt Weld NB 4250 Transition
        Flush Butt Weld NB 4250 Transition
        As-Welded Butt Weld 1:3 Transition
        Flush Butt Weld 1:3 Transition
        Socket/Fillet Weld
   
   Select the type of weld joint the best fits your requirements based on code description.
   
   In AutoPIPE, press toolbar icon "Show Joint Type", located on left toolbar near the bottom. Use this feature to clearly see where joint types have been applied, and review the "Joint Type, SIF" tab of the input grid for settings.

2.  Modeling 3D, 5D or Larger Sweep Elbows 

   Answer: AutoPIPE's Bend Point dialog screen has a Bend radius field which defaults to Long radius with pull down option for short radius.
   
   
   
   You can either select short radius or, for a larger sweep elbow, click once on the Bend radius field and type the actual radius (units are in bottom right hand corner of screen).

3. Inserting Valves, Reducers Or Other Components After Elbow Or After Tee
   
   Answer: A bend component is made up of 4 node points:
   
   A. Near Point  - automatically generated
   B. Tagent Interface Point (TIP)  - user generated
   C. Far Point  - automatically generated
   D. Mid Point (if enabled)  -  user specified between Near and Far Point.
   
   AutoPIPE does not allow users to insert the next node point or component between the Bend's Near and Far points. If done so, the bend cannot be drawn and a warning will be mentioned in the Tools> Model Consistency check report. User must first enter a pipe run directly after an elbow TIP point to just beyond the automatically generated Near OR Far points before adding the next piping component  
   
   This means that there will be 2 points, a bend point and a run point, very close to one another. The should not be exactly in the same location, or another warning will be displayed about a zero length run.
   
   For inserting valves and other components directly after a tee, AutoPIPE requires that the user first input a run of pipe after the tee before inserting the component to model the leg / branch weld of the tee.
   

4. When a flanged elbow is modeled in AutoPIPE, does it affect the stiffness of the elbow in the analysis?  If so, how?
   
   Answer: Yes it does.  You can see the effect of this on the flexibility factor of the elbow in the Elbow Report in the Input model listing.  AutoPIPE's offical training class covers this modeling.

1. Question: I am trying to verify pressure extension result in AutoPIPE 09.04.01.05 using hand calculation. Could you please provide the formulas used in AutoPIPE for pressure elongation of a straight pipe (assuming pipe is free to expand). I am using ASME B31.3 and CSA Z662 codes.Model has 2 different analysis sets, but the support loads dues to GR(1) and Gr(2) are different, why?

   http://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/f/275801/p/40611/89583.aspx#89583

Comments, Questions, and Answers 

1. Question: SNiP 2.05.06-85 (1997) verify longitudinal stress:

   Underground section, the longitudinal stress shall be lower than y2*R1 .

   SNiP formula for y2 is the following:

    

   AutoPipe applied formula for y2 is the following (from the program online Help):

    

   Why does AutoPipe apply the square root only “partially”? (verified by hand calculation that Autopipe really applies the declared formula)
   
   Note: the same holds true for y4

    Answer:
   
   AutoPIPE calculates y1 through y4 keeping the last term outside of the square root.
   
   The equations used in the actual SNiP code are not consistent and do not seems to yield correct results for a possible range of values. So AutoPIPE implementation seems to be the more logical solution, which may not be exactly as the actual Russian code states.

   If we use the exact formula from the russian snip code, we would run in to undefined values when HoopStress/R2 crosses 0.866.
   
   
   
   AutoPIPE's equation yields a better graph in which the ratio ó/R2 can range from 0.0 to 1.0:
   
   
   
   AutoPIPE results are conservative when compared to using the actual Russian SNiP equation (in the range where SNiP equation would yields real numbers).
   
   

Coments, Questions, and Answers

1. There is some confusion on how AutoPIPE closes the gap of a support in a dynamic analysis.  It isn’t clear how this makes sense that the program will apply a support at a point where the pipe may not actually be moving enough lose the gap and to reach the support in reality.  Anyclarification on this?
   
   Answer: All AutoPIPE Dynamic analysis require that a modal analysis be performed. From AutoPIPE online help:
   

   AutoPIPE lumps the mass of the pipe, components and contents, etc. at the associated node point. This assumption yields a diagonal mass matrix with no mass coupling terms. There are three mass degrees of freedom per node. Rotational mass is ignored, except for points with eccentric weights, specified using the Insert/Xtra data/Weight command). At these points there may be up to three additional rotational masses and thus three additional mass degrees of freedom.

   It should be noted that for the eccentric weight, the coupling terms between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom are neglected. The structure is assumed to be linear and thus all gaps, friction and soil yielding is ignored.
   

2. Program should block dynamic analysis if static analysis set #1 not analyzed.
   
   Answer: This has been logged as a new enhancement under CAE-CR-10998. The internal setup of all the dynamic cases still rests with analysis set #1. If analysis set #1 is not analyzed with dynamic loads specified, your dynamic cases cannot be setup properly.

The following Dynamic Analsyis enhancements have been logged for inclusion into a future version of AutoPIPE:

1. CAE-CR-10998  Program should block dynamic analysis if static analysis set #1 not analyzed 
   
   Program should block dynamic analysis if first analysis set not analyzed. There is an internal limitation of the program that the first static analysis set should always be selected for analysis if there is any dynamic analysis to be performed for the model. AutoPIPE historically had only 1 load set prior to 9.1.0, all of the definitions related to dynamic load cases etc used to be associated with this single load set. In the new system – this older load set is mapped to the first static analysis set.
