Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: modeling Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Problem: AutoPIPE: Flange analysis troubleshooting 1. Why is the analysis not performed on all flanges? 2. Why does the following appear and what to do about it? --------------------------- Bentley AutoPIPE --------------------------- The required information is missing for this flange. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- TR Number: none Product: AutoPIPE Version: n/a Area: General Problem ID#: 87927 Answer: Please see the following procedure: 1. Select Analyze Delete Analysis results. 2. Run AutoPIPE analysis. (Note: cannot use flange analysis utility until the following has been performed: Analyzed All Static Analysis). 3. Select Tool Flange Analysis 4. On the Analysis tab, select those node points to be analyze by checking the box in the column for Analyze. If the following appears while adding a check in the analyze box: --------------------------- Bentley AutoPIPE --------------------------- The required information is missing for this flange. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- This message means that there is missing information required by the application before any Flange Analysis can be performed. For each analysis method, complete the following tabs: A. ASME Section VIII - Load, Flange, Pipe, Bolts, and Gasket tabs (Note: Available in AutoPIPE Advance and Nuclear editions ONLY Note: B. ASME Section III, Appendix XI - Load, Flange, Pipe, Bolts, and Gasket tabs (Note: Available in AutoPIPE Advance and Nuclear editions ONLY Note: C. ANSI Check - ANSI check tab. (Note: Available in all AutoPIPE editions; i.e. Standard, Advance, and Nuclear). Double check to be sure all settings are correct on all tabs for the selected analysis method above. All material fields on the respective tabs should have a value. If using NS (Non Standard) material, be sure to update all white fields with user information. In general, there should be no blank or 0.00 values used unless intended. Sometimes when exiting the flange analysis and reopening the dialog, some of the data maybe missing. Again, before running an flange analysis check the respective tabs for blank or 0.00 values in fields.
