This has been an issue for me as well quite some time now. Linenumbers though can be inserted under the Segment tab in the Input Grid window, but it requires you to understand how AutoPIPE deals with this. Nevertheless, more than 8 characters would make sense

Wiki Page: Q. 27 Tubesheet Loading condition, longitudinal membrane stress.. message appears in AutoPIPE Vessel
Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Vessel Version(s): ALL Area: Errors Date Logged & Current Version March 2018 40.06.00.07 Problem: What to do to avoid the error in the floating head design 27 Tubesheet loading conditions, longitudinal membrane stress Solution: There is failure due to tube axial membrane stress, the tubes would buckle: Increasing tube thickness (ex. 5.156 mm) helps remove all of the tube membrane stress errors but that might not be a solution from process/thermal design perspective as tube becomes too thick: Another solution could be to reduce baffle spacing (example - reducing the spacing to 300 mm) . Overall it really depends on what approach the designer wants to adopt. See Also AutoPIPE Vessel Error messages

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Nozzle Version(s): V8i Area: Modeling Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Mar. 2016 08.11.08.26 Problem: Can AutoPIPE Nozzle be used to model a support on an elbow? Solution: AutoPIPE Nozzle does not have a shell type = elbow. However, AutoPIPE nozzle does have a shell type = Cylinder, where a trunnion can be modeled atop it. Suggest this as an approximation approach for an elbow with a trunnion. To get an exact answer would require modeling in a full FEA program.

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): ALL; Area: Results Date Logged & Current Version Oct. 2018 11.04.00.10 Problem: How to calculate the Hydrotest Hoop stress and Allowable in AutoPIPE? Give the following information: Piping code = B31.3 - 2014 Ambient temp = 21 deg C Units = SI Hydrotest settings: Solution: Start by looking at the following AutoPIPE help section: 1. Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Reference Information> Code Compliance Calculations> select the proper piping code & year 2. Select the Hoop Stress section 3. Look for the appropriate equations for Stress and Allowable that AutoPIPE is using. From the Pipe properties dialog find values for Do, Wall thk, Corrosion allow, Mill tol, W, and E. From the Pressure Temp tab on the grids find the respective value for Pressure, Temperature, and SH as defined by the Hydrotest dialog (ex. P4 - T4) Perform the Calculations Stress Calculation: where: P = 4 N/mm^2 Do = 219.075 mm tred = 7.036-.1.5-0.879 (Help> Definition of terms> Pipe Properties) Y = 0.4 Hoop Stresses = 138.726 N/mm^2 Allowable calculation:: = W*E*SH where: W = 1 E = 1 SH = 137.8951 N/mm^2 Hoop Allowable = 137.90 N/mm^2 Compare to allowable documented for hydrotest case: Note: In some case the allowable is calculated as the lesser of ( W*E*SH, Cold Allowable) The hoop allowable matches exactly, however hoop stress hand calculation does not match AutoPIPE, why? Question: What else can influence the code calculations. Answer: Correct, the Results Model Options settings. If you do not already know about these settings, strongly suggest that you spend a little time getting to know them all because these settings will significantly affect your results. As in this case, the results calculation was changed because of "Use nom. thk for hoop" setting was enabled. Instead of Tred, use Tnom. in the hoop stress equation. Now, Hoop stress = 91.009 N/mm^2.

Solution: The Hydrotest parameters are printed in the " Analysis Summary " section of the output report under "Hydrotest Load" Temperature Load Case Factor Pressure load Case Factor Note: Temperature and Pressure load case values can vary from node point to node point. In some cases the values may be all the same, in other cases for each set of node points these values can be different. Therefore, AutoPIPE performs this calculation internally and prints the results in the output report.

Wiki Page: 02e. "Hydrotest" - AutoPIPE Load Case
The Load> Hydrotest command enables the user to define the hydrotest conditions of a piping system. A hydrotest is a common method for testing the integrity of a piping system before it is put into service. In this test, the piping system is filled with pressurized water and checked for leakage, etc. The Hydrotest option permits a simulation of this scenario. Please note that the AutoPIPE Hydrotest option automatically converts all spring hangers into rigid supports to simulate the holding pin which is still in the spring hanger during the hydrotest.
