The following is displayed in the report Flange analysis Output report:
1.0 ERRORS OR WARNINGS:------------------
*** *** ERROR -- ( during INPUT PROCESSING ) *** Inside diameter of flange should be equal to inside pipe/nozzle diameter
How to correct the issue?
In the Flange analysis module, select the FLANGE tab. Review the all the settings and confirm them to be correct.
Example: node point B34 (pipeID = 2"CHS) has a pipe OD = 60.325 mm.. Therefore the indide dia in the flange analysis module should be < 60.325 mm.
The flange analysis, FLANGE tab, node point B34:
has a pipe inside dia.= 97.1804 mm. This is obviously an error on input settings.
Suggest using the following process to reset all flange dimensions back to default library settings:
1. On the Flange tab, change Flange /bolt Dimensions to NS for all flanges. This action will turn many of the grayed out field white. good.
2. Next, change the same setting from NS back to the correct settings of B16.5 or B16.47. This action will gray out a many fields of data, essentially updating the data with information from the internal library file.
3. Recheck the Inside dia at node point B34:
The value is 42.84 mm < 60.325 mm. good.
4. Run analysis and check report.
