How to apply CSA N289.3 rules for the piping designed to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section III Subsection NC rule in Autopipe ? And what are the differences between N289.3 and NC seismic rule ?
Hello Geping
The implementation of CSA N289.3 in to AutoPIPE required only program changes for B31.1 (settings in the Results Options) and ASME NB (Stress Summary). The requirement for NC/ND don't require any special treatment so no changes were required. We intend to add a note to explain this in the Program Help.
