What is the node limit in AutoPIPE or the following appears:
E801-135: Number of analysis nodes exceeds maximum limit of 10000 nodes
AutoPIPE has always had a limit of 10,000 node points per model. The application has been known to crash and analysis results are not trustworthy in models above this limit. The CAE development team has add the following enhancement:
CAE-CR-8795: Block analysis if number of analysis points is greater than 10000
System should block the analysis if total number of points (piping points+ soil points + frame nodes) is greater than 10,000. Program should also issue a warning to the user to reduce total number of points before proceeding with analysis.
Avoidance: Reduce total number of points to less than 10,000.
You can view the total number of pipe points in a model, Tools> Model input listing> only check "Extended Component" sub report, press OK button, near the very bottom of the report is "Number of points in the system:". This number does not include the center point for bends, Beam points, or all added soil points.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Note: The total number of points in a model is not a one-to-one relationship with the model points. At tees, bends, and supports, for example, AutoPIPE generates results on each side of the point, i.e. accounts for 2 pipe points. Therefore if the total number of points (piping points + soil points + frame node points) is greater than 10,000. Program should issue a warning to the user to reduce total number of points before proceeding with analysis.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Another enhancement has been added to increase the number of internal node points allowed, logged under:
a. CAE-CR-6288: Exceed 10,000 node points
Description: Increasing allowable number of internal data points in AutoPIPE from 10,000 to 100,000 would allow the copy/paste function to be used with larger models.
Corrected Version: 9.7 project
b. CAE-CR-2347,nodenames > 4 characters
Description: increase node names >4 characters
The issues have been logged and to be added in a future version of the application. If you are interested in knowing which version & when, please log a service ticket referencing the CAE number above.
