Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): 2004, XM, V8i Environment: N/A Area: Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Feb. 2015 09.06.01.10 Problem: My results does not appear to be considering weight of contents in piping for the analysis? Answer: On the "Static Analysis Load Cases" dialog screen is a check box for "Contents", confirm this box is enabled (checked ON) for all analysis sets as desired. Enable this option to include the weight of the pipe contents in the analysis of the gravity (GR) load case. This will cause the program to consider the respective pipe properties settings for all the piping in the model. The calculation for weight of pipe contents is based on the individual pipe ID's: A. Inside diameter of a pipe B. Specific Gravity of Contents (based on water). C. Linear center line distance of a piping for a Pipe ID Each one of the 4 settings must be configured to correctly consider weight of contents in a piping systems for each Pipe ID and Analysis Set. Additional information is available to be reviewed in the Tools> Model Listing > Center of Gravity sub report. This option generates a section that reports weight and center of gravity coordinates for all the components in the model. The components are categorized as Valves, Flanges, Flexible Joints, Additional Weights, Pipes (includes straight runs, bends, tees and reducers), and Beams. Weight and center of gravity coordinates for Insulation, Insulation Cladding, Lining, and Contents are also reported as separate categories. Weight and center of gravity coordinates of different combinations of the categories are also reported (see online help for details on this report).
