Why does the "cold load" from the Hanger Analysis sub-report (2910 Kgf) not match the support load of a static v-stop support (2855 Kgf) ?
Please see the following AutoPIPE help section: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Reference Information> Hanger Selection Procedure> Cold Load Design Hanger Selection Procedure.
The most common reasoning for this discrepancy is that the Static Analysis and Spring Hanger Analysis was not performed as the same type of analysis (i.e. either Linear or Non-Linear).
After confirming that both are being analyzed as the same type of analysis (i.e. Non-linear Analysis) the results were identical (ex. 2855 Kgf):
