• Autopipe Code Stress for DNVGL-ST-F101:2017

    For the ASD output using DNVGL-ST-F101 design code, I've the following two queries. I’m using Autopipe version 12.05. Query-1: In the output screen shot below, for the yellow highlighted gravity case (GR_ASD), Autopipe presents code stress (Longitudinal…
  • What was changed in how Restrained-Expansion is calculated using ASME B31.4 code for the bend arc between version 11.04.00.01 and version 12.01.00.09?

    I was investigating discrepancies between a model run in version 11.04.00.10 and in version 12.01.00.09 using ASME B31.4 code. When a model created in v11 was opened in v12, total stress levels were observed to be 1-2% higher than in v11, with no changes…
  • Thrust/Anchor Block

    Dear, Can anyone suggest how a Thrust block is modeled in Autopipe?? I have approached for the same like as in CAESAR II i.e. changing property of the soil near anchor/thrust blocks but what is the correct method to model a thrust block in AutoPipe…
