Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group The "Code Compliance" grid displays the combination set defined for piping code compliance (both the default combinations and user-defined sets). Any default code combination may be modified, deleted or reset and any new user combination created and modified in the same grid. User Code Combinations dialog Comments, Questions, & Answers: Item #1: How to define the allowable hoop and longitudinal stresses for a user code combination in AutoPIPE? Item #2: What is the M/S column in AutoPIPE's output reports Item #3: When creating a new AutoPIPE User defined combination on the Code Comb tab, is the order of the load cases / combinations of any consequence? Item #4: How does AutoPIPE know which of the loads in the “User Code Combination” window is to be considered an Occasional Load(s)? Item #5: Are predefined stress category maximums [i.e. (LONG), (Sus), (exp), (0cc), (hoop) ] calculated across all analysis set regardless of load cases turned ON / OFF in any one analysis set in an AutoPIPE model? Item #6 : How to get the range of T1, T2, T3, ...,Tn thermal load cases. The option RANGE is missing from actual AutoPIPE Capabilities (Combination Method). Item #7: How to automatically find the MAX load case from a group of load cases in an AutoPIPE model? Item #8: Why does AutoPIPE's DNV code combination for collapse P1..Pn use only T1..Tn load case and not P1..Pn load case? Item #9: Is this a Valid combination using AutoPIPE? Item #10: What safety factor(s) are being applied to the allowable? Item #11: Code combinations do not appear the same in 2 different models that are identical: Equiv1: GRT1 vs Equiv1 in AutoPIPE, why?
