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 on AutoPIPE output reports: Item #1. Results Interpretation Be sure to review AutoPIPE's online help: Help Contents Contents Tab Reference Information Results Interpretation This appendix explains how to interpret AutoPIPE's output report results. 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. - Coordinate Systems - Total vs. Incremental Loading - Pipe Displacements - Pipe Forces and Moments: Global Option - Anchor Forces - Support Forces: Hangers and V-stops - Support Deformations: Hangers and V-stops without Gaps - V-stops with Gaps and Friction - Hangers and V-Stops with Imposed Displacement - Two-Point Hangers and V-Stops - Straight Pipe Forces and Moments: Local Option - Support Forces for Guides and Line Stops without Gaps - Support Forces: Guides & Line Stops with Gaps & Friction - Two-Point Guides and Line Stops - Curved Pipe Forces and Moments: Local Option - Support Forces for Skewed Supports - Support Forces for Tie/Link Restraints - Beam Member Forces - Dynamic Support Forces Item #2. Analysis Subreports See the following hyperlinks for issue on the respective Anslysis Output sub report: Command: Analyze model Results Output Report: - Displacement - Support - Restraint - Forces & Moments - Code Compliance - Stress Summary - Frequency - Mode shapes - Equipment - Soil - Bend Angular Distortion - Stress Indices - Tee Plastic Strain - Beam forces - General stress - Preliminary Stress - Accelerations - Flange Summary - Model listing - Analysis summary - Steam Relief - Reference Loads - Fatigue - Result summary Iten #3 Component Data Listing: See the following hyperlink for issues on the respective Component Data listing (aka Model Input Listing) report:Command: Toos Model Input listing. - Extended Component (Point in v6.1) - Coordinates (Component in v6.1) - Pipe Properties - Material Properties - Material Allowables - Temperature & Pressure - Beam - Forces & Displacements - Thermal Anchor Movements - Seismic Anchor Movements - Center of Gravity - Earthquake Scale Factors - Design Temp and Press - Soil Properties - Load Summary - Support - Bend - Tee - Valve - Flange - User SIF - Reducer - Rigid Pipe - Reference Points - Gross Discontinuity Stress - Segments Data Item #4: Can AutoPIPE print the Output reports to excel or .csv? Answer : We apologize for the inconvenience, however AutoPIPE cannot print its reports directly to MS word or MS Excel. Reports are currnetly written to the following files: *.OUT, *.HGR, *.RPT. These file can be opened by any text editor (i.e. NotePad, Ms WORD, ect..) . Also, AutoPIPE can export both the Input gids and Results grids to a database file (*.MDB), for manipulation into customized reports. This enhancement has been logged under CAE-CR-345: Add option to generate reports as EXCEL & WORD files. Items #5: AutoPIPE Resutls Grids or Output Reports are found to be Zero (0.00) or Blank Item #6: What is the meaning of + and - (+/-) Node points in AutoPIPE results?
