Hi Mike and other forum members,

B31E allows two options for applying seismic loading

(1) a three-directional excitation, east–west plus north–south plus vertical, combined by square-root sum of the squares (SRSS)

(2) a two-directional design…

We regularly use the mdb files in order to access pipe support loading information. We carry out design of cross-country pipelines, and using the mdb files, we can extract elemental loads (i.e. GR, P1, T1, E1, E2, E3, E4 etc), and then use external processing…
