Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Modeling Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group AutoPIPE's Online help "Modeling Approaches" **Attention** Please see the following AutoPIPE help section: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Modeling Approaches> Modeling Approaches> This help has been provided in order to give users ideas for modeling typical piping arrangements. The steps shown in each example should not be taken as the only method available to create models. In addition, the intent of the examples is to present ways to create adequate models of specific piping components for analytical purposes. Anchor Bends Cuts: Cold Spring Flexible Joints Frames Hangers Nozzles Pipes Reducers Rotating Equipment Supports Tees Valves Vessels AutoPIPE's Online help "Example Systems" This help has been provided in order to aid users in modeling more complex piping arrangements. Please see the following AutoPIPE help section: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Modeling Approaches> Example Systems Choose from the following topics: A. PipeSOIL Interaction: Transition Example B. Water Hammer (Time History) Example C. Steam Relief (Time History) Example D.

Modeling In AutoPIPE: The following list contains detailed information about specialized modeling techniques with AutoPIPE: Piping: Model Different Types of PIPING (i.e. Coated, Corroded, Corrugated, Jacketed, etc...) Model Different Types of PIPING Components (i.e Tee, Bend, Reducer, Flange, Flexible Joint, Valve, etc..) Model Non-metallic Plastic Piping (i.e. Plastic, PVC, PP, PPR, HDPE, PE, FRP, GRP, etc.) Model a Ring Main (circular header) Offshore and Underground Piping Model Subsea (Underwater) Piping Modeling Offshore Piping per BS8010 or CSAZ662 section 11 Piping Codes Model Soil Properties (Underground Piping) Equipment , Supports, and Structure Model Compressor piping Modeling Vessels/ Nozzle Model Supports & Beam (Frames) Load: Model Seismic Analysis Model Buckling Modeling Slug flow Model Concentrated Forces Model Wind Sway On A Pipe Rack Model Vacuum Piping Model Fluid Density Modeling Thermal Bowing Commands: Cut / Copy / Paste / Rotate / Move / Stretch Commands Miscellaneous Modeling approach to account for piping beyond scope of work area Apply More Than 1 Piping Code In an AutoPIPE Model See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
