Important: Do not just read the document. Highly suggested that you actually perform this procedure in AutoPIPE with the "SOILOVERBURDEN_1.DAT" file in the C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries\examples folder. To better understand the process.
Question 1, does the user have to manually add this temperature to a temperaturecase or is it generated automatically by the programthrough the “Generate Seismic Thermal Load Case dialog box”?
Answer:
Please see the document:
Tutorial - Soil Overburden and Seismic Wave Propagation in AutoPIPE.pdf
See the section labeled "Seismic Thermal Load" section:
This step in the procedure will calculate the DT value that is displayed on the Soil properties dialog below:
After applying all the correct Seismic Wave Data for all the soil properties, the next section of the pdf, "Seismic Thermal Load" provides instructions on how to apply these DT values to the model.
Example, the information above, Select Load> Seismic Thermal Load...> In the pink shaded area of the above image, select the Thermal load case (T1..T100) that will be modified to become the Seismic Thermal load case.
In the yellow shaded area of the above image, select the soil property that contains the correct DT to be applied for this Seismic thermal load case.
After pressing Apply, OK buttons on this dialog, T1 load case will be will automatically update to 73.368 deg F across all node points that are assigned with Soil Id = APIP_H.
