Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Reports Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Comments, Questions, and Answers for "Restraint" sub-report of the Output Report in AutoPIPE Item #1: Can i print a "max load" report for restraints? Answer: Yes, after you create a new user defined non-code combination, under Tools> Model Options> Combinations> Non-Code Comb tab> where the combination method = ABS Max or Sign MAX, to evaluate up to 10 selected combination names at one time. . Item #2: When reviewing the load on a gaped restraint, there is a load in the same direction as a large gap. The pipe never closes the gap, so why is there a load on the restraint in that direction? Answer: If you are running a non-linear analysis, 9 times out of 10 time, the answer is due directly with Load sequencing. Please see the following WIKI page here Item #3: Gravity + Thermal + User load cases added together give incorrect Restraint Report results in AutoPIPE, why? Item #4: What is the difference between the Support and the Restraint output reports in AutoPIPE? Item #5: Which AutoPIPE sub-report should be provided to the Structural Engineer to size the anchor: the Support forces or Restraint Reactions report?
