Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Report Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Problem: If I wanted to run a separate analysis on that tee (nodes E01, E02, E03, and R02), I would want to apply the observed forces and moments to the faces to recreate the loading. I have tried following the help file convention but seem to be confused on which of the values read from the chart should be taken as their correct value, or if I need to negate what is shown. Specifically, I am applying the loads from E01, E03, and R02. Answer: AutoPIPE Forces and Moments report displays the pipe internal forces and moments caused by the applied loads. To be able to recreate the loading scenario on the Tee, you would need to apply the forces and moments in the direction opposite to the internal forces and moments displayed in the output report. Considering gravity load case only for the tee point E02: Forces and Moments to be applied (Global) Also, find attached a document trying to explain the same - here See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
