Thermal Transient Analysis

1 Multiple code years are available in AutoPIPE Advanced and AutoPIPE Nuclear editions. AutoPIPE only supports latest code year.

2 Only Uniform Response Spectra and SRSS Combination method available in AutoPIPE edition.

3 NEMA 23 for turbines, API 617 for compressors, and API 610 for pumps.

4 KHK 2 add-on option is required to access this feature (available for AutoPIPE Advanced and AutoPIPE Nuclear editions).

5 For Hydrotest, we create a separate analysis set that produces the HYD load case from the Hydrotest properties settings. Both Linear and Non-Linear hydrotest.

6 Maximum number of load cases that can be analyzed in a single analysis set during a static analysis run in v9.1 or later.

= Gravity (1) + Thermal (20) + Pressure (20) + Static Earthquake (20) + Wind (10) + User (20)

= 91 cases for Advanced and Nuclear (26 for Basic). However, multiple analysis sets can be run in a single static analysis in v9.1 or later.

Since up to 100 different thermal loadings can be defined and analyzed in a single static analysis, only 20 thermal load cases can be used per analysis set. For example, when running 50 thermal cases, a minimum of three analysis sets are required. Since each analysis set can analyze up to 91 static cases, hundreds of loads can be analyzed with different scenarios, linear, non-linear, and hot or cold modulus in the same static analysis run.
