The coordinate systems used for the results presentation are particularly important, and are listed first. The output sign conventions for the different result types are then described. a- Coordinate Systems b- Total vs. Incremental Loading c- Pipe Displacements d- Pipe Forces and Moments: Global Option e- Anchor Forces f- Support Forces: Hangers and V-stops g- Support Deformations: Hangers and V-stops without Gaps h- V-stops with Gaps and Friction i- Hangers and V-Stops with Imposed Displacement j- Two-Point Hangers and V-Stops k- Straight Pipe Forces and Moments: Local Option m- Support Forces for Guides and Line Stops without Gaps n- Support Forces: Guides & Line Stops with Gaps & Friction o- Two-Point Guides and Line Stops p- Curved Pipe Forces and Moments: Local Option q- Support Forces for Skewed Supports r- Support Forces for Tie/Link Restraints s- Beam Member Forces t- Dynamic Support Forces See Also Reports - AutoPIPE Bentley AutoPIPE
