Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Modeling Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Comments, Questions, and Answers Item #1, I have to input a whole bunch of concentrated forces at different locations of my analysis. Is there an easy way to input these in one go, or do I have to choose each point and input one by one? Answer: There are many powerful features to select node points, ranges, etc.. by combining hide/view segments and options under the Select command. After the node points have been selected , press Insert> Xtra Data> select any one of the options, enter in a universal value, press OK button to apply the universal setting to all the node points in the selection set. Then open the respective input grid tabs to quickly modify the data as needed. Fast and simple approach. Item #2, In my model, the weight load does not appear to be included in the results. I understand AP automatically includes weight loads in the gravity analysis: Answer: In order to verify if a weight is being considered in the analysis, please review the following: 1. Model Input listing: a. Extended Component report - search for the weight to confirm the settings Example: b. Center of Gravity - review report for additional weight that is considered for the analysis. Example: 2. Input grids - review each tab that has a "Weight" column and determine if the settings are correct. Example: In the example above, it can be seen that there is no weight added from: a. Contents - specific gravity of contents = 0.00 b. Weight of supports - weight values were blank c Defined weight - weight value was blank See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
