    Example 01 - Model piping connected to end of a vessel / tank

    Applies To
    Product(s): AutoPIPE
    Version(s): ALL;
    Area: Modeling
    Date Logged
    & Current Version
    May 2019
    12.01.00.09

    Example:

    Model piping arrangement: 

    There are multiple options to model connected piping to a Vessel / Tank surface, here is one modeling approach. 

    See WIKI here for other modeling approaches

    Step 1.

    Insert Vessel / Tank

    Step 2.

    Insert internal piping with rigid options
    to surface of Vessel's / Tank's end Cap.
    Insert User SIF =1.0 at junction to override
    all other SIF calculations

    Optional: Take credit for flexibility in end cap

    Connect internal piping to inner surface of
    end Cap, then insert nozzle element to
    outside surface of end cap. 
     

    Step 3.

    Insert piping connected to nozzles

    Also recommend to insert a User SIF at the
    surface of the nozzle connection to the end cap.
    What value should be used, may need to hand
    calculate this value or use another software to 
    provide that information, this would not be a
    typical code calculated SIF value. 

    Optional: Report Allowable forces and Moments

    Insert reference points at nozzle connection
    to end cap to report loads that exceed
    allowable forces and moments. 

    Step 4.

    Insert End cap to account for weight
