Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Vessel Version(s): V8i Environment: N/A Area: calculaltions Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Comments, Questions, and Answers about AutoPIPE Vessel' s Output Report Item #1: “We have several models created with Microprotol for which we saved the results. Now we are using AutoPIPE Vessel to recalculate the same models, the results are different regarding the weight of nozzles (a decrease about 80%). I haven’t noted changes regarding nozzle. Did you change other data? Answer: One change that may answer the discrepancy between the models is that the calculation of the weight of nozzle necks has been optimized in September 2012 (v33.0.7.3) to consider the intersection of the neck with the shell (height difference depending on the inclination and eccentricity of the nozzle). Before the nozzle neck was considered as a cylinder of constant height. See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
