Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): 2004, XM, V8i Environment: N/A Area: Calculations Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Sept. 2015 09.06.02.06 Problem: Question: Using AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.00.15, with ASME B31.4, on the input grid Piping Restraint tab shows, stress equation column: On Tools> Model Options> Results> : Answer: The Xtra Data option Piping Restrain is only used to control which combinations are displayed on the output report, result grid and interactive scan. AutoPIPE classifies certain equations as Restrained, and others and unrestrained and performs the calculations accordingly. When the Result Model Option "Use rest. long. code eq." option is checked, AutoPIPE then uses the exact code equation to calculate the Longitudinal stress regardless of the support configuration and actual forces.
