&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;How to model a piping component (ex. strainer) supported by steel members embedded in concrete?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663027805492v5.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663028605449v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are a number of ways to model this scenario. The WIKI page will focus on 2 approaches: 1. Detailed and 2. Simplified&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detailed Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;This approach will be based on the techniques used to model a pipe connected to a vessel (see AutoPIPE help: &lt;span&gt;Help &amp;gt; Contents&amp;gt; Contents Tab&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Vessel, recommend that you take the time and actually perform this exercise&lt;/span&gt;). The difference is that instead of mounting a pipe to a vessel, model steel mounted to a vessel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Note: one can model a piping component as complete details but remember that we are performing a pipe stress analysis using an application whos fundamental core assumption is&amp;nbsp;u&lt;span&gt;sing simple Beam element center-line based theory. Therefore, weight and properties are the major importance here. Having a photo realistic looking model is not important.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;1. First model the piping component - see &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/28859/n-how-to-model-piping-components-ex-strainer-filter-flow-meter-etc-in-autopipe"&gt;WIKI here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for suggestion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663021321067v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;2. Zoom Into the rigid pipe that represents the Piping component.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;3. In this case, model the steel connected to the piping component. But first, add location for steel to be connected on piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;a. Convert point (ex. B06) to Tee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;b. Insert pipe vertically down as needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;c. Insert Rigid properties over range, Do not &amp;quot;Include weight&amp;quot;, but include &amp;quot;Include Thermal Expansion&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the weight is already accounted for in the modeling approach of the piping component WIKI mentioned above, concentrated weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663033020975v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;d. Insert Rigid Beam member from the end of the vertical pipe to the outside surface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;Note:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;i. For aesthetic only, suggest that the new beam property use a smaller section, ex. 2&amp;quot; pipe round&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;ii. Insert all 3 beams in one direction, then select and rotate beam to correct orientation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663041128160v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;4. Insert new Beam section property for Steel supporting piping components, (ex. 2&amp;quot; angle), make sure to select the correct Material name or enter in the correct material properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;5. Insert beam supports at each of the 3 surface locations, length = to the concrete floor. Adjust beam settings as needed to rotate orientation of vertical angle with respect to the piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;6. Since Steel is embedded into the concrete, assume that it is rigidly connected to the floor, insert rigid anchors at the end of vertical steel support&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042051854v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;7. Insert pipe length to represent the cap at the bottom of the component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;8. Insert new pipe properties to represent pipe out the bottom of the component&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;9. Model new piping as needed from bottom of component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;10. Done!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042651664v5.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simplified Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Instead of modeling the individual supports connecting the component to the floor, assume a flexible anchor and enter stiffness values as needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042986628v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;How to model a piping component (ex. strainer) supported by steel members embedded in concrete?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663027805492v5.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663028605449v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are a number of ways to model this scenario. The WIKI page will focus on 2 approaches: 1. Detailed and 2. Simplified&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detailed Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;This approach will be based on the techniques used to model a pipe connected to a vessel (see AutoPIPE help: &lt;span&gt;Help &amp;gt; Contents&amp;gt; Contents Tab&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Vessel, recommend that you take the time and actually perform this exercise&lt;/span&gt;). The difference is that instead of mounting a pipe to a vessel, model steel mounted to a vessel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Note: one can model a piping component as complete details but remember that we are performing a pipe stress analysis using an application whos fundamental core assumption is&amp;nbsp;u&lt;span&gt;sing simple Beam element center-line based theory. Therefore, weight and properties are the major importance here. Having a photo realistic looking model is not important.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;1. First model the piping component - see &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/28859/n-how-to-model-piping-components-ex-strainer-filter-flow-meter-etc-in-autopipe"&gt;WIKI here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for suggestion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663021321067v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;2. Zoom Into the rigid pipe that represents the Piping component.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;3. In this case, model the steel connected to the piping component. But first, add location for steel to be connected on piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;a. Convert point (ex. B06) to Tee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;b. Insert pipe vertically down as needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;c. Insert Rigid properties over range, Do not &amp;quot;Include weight&amp;quot;, but include &amp;quot;Include Thermal Expansion&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the weight is already accounted for in the modeling approach of the piping component WIKI mentioned above, concentrated weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663033020975v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;d. Insert Rigid Beam member from the end of the vertical pipe to the outside surface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;Note:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;i. For aesthetic only, suggest that the new beam property use a smaller section, ex. 2&amp;quot; pipe round&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;ii. Insert all 3 beams in one direction, then select and rotate beam to correct orientation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663041128160v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;4. Insert new Beam section property for Steel supporting piping components, (ex. 2&amp;quot; angle), make sure to select the correct Material name or enter in the correct material properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;5. Insert beam supports at each of the 3 surface locations, length = to the concrete floor. Adjust beam settings as needed to rotate orientation of vertical angle with respect to the piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;6. Since Steel is embedded into the concrete, assume that it is rigidly connected to the floor, insert anchors at the end of vertical steel support&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042051854v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;7. Insert pipe length to represent the cap at the bottom of the strainer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;8. Insert new pipe properties to represent pipe out the bottom of the component&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;9. Model new piping as needed from bottom of component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;10. Done!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042651664v5.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simplified Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Instead of modeling the individual supports connecting the component to the floor, assume a flexible anchor and enter stiffness values as needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042986628v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;How to model a piping component (ex. strainer) supported by steel members embedded in concrete?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663027805492v5.png" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663028605449v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are a number of ways to model this scenario. The WIKI page will focus on 2 approaches: 1. Detailed and 2. Simplified&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detailed Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;This approach will be based on the techniques used to model a pipe connected to a vessel (see AutoPIPE help: &lt;span&gt;Help &amp;gt; Contents&amp;gt; Contents Tab&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Vessel, recommend that you take the time and actually perform this exercise&lt;/span&gt;). The difference is that instead of mounting a pipe to a vessel, model steel mounted to a vessel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Note: one can model a piping component as complete details but remember that we are performing a pipe stress analysis using an application whos fundamental core assumption is&amp;nbsp;u&lt;span&gt;sing simple Beam element center-line based theory. Therefore, weight and properties are the major importance here. Having a photo realistic looking model is not important.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;1. First model the piping component - see &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/28859/n-how-to-model-piping-components-ex-strainer-filter-flow-meter-etc-in-autopipe"&gt;WIKI here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for suggestion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663021321067v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;2. Zoom Into the rigid pipe that represents the Piping component.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;3. In this case, model the steel connected to the piping component. But first, add location for steel to be connected on piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;a. Convert point (ex. B06) to Tee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;b. Insert pipe vertically down as needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;c. Insert Rigid properties over range, Do not &amp;quot;Include weight&amp;quot;, but include &amp;quot;Include Thermal Expansion&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;the weight is already accounted for in the modeling approach of the piping component WIKI mentioned above, concentrated weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:150px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663033020975v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:90px;"&gt;d. Insert Rigid Beam member from the end of the vertical pipe to the outside surface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;Note:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;i. For aesthetic only, suggest that the new beam property use a smaller&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;ii. Insert all 3 beams in one direction, then select and rotate beam to correct orientation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663041128160v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;4. Insert new Beam section property for Steel supporting piping components, (ex. 2&amp;quot; angle), make sure to select the correct Material name or enter in the correct material properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;5. Insert beam supports at each of the 3 surface locations, length = to the concrete floor. Adjust beam settings as needed to rotate orientation of vertical angle with respect to the piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;6. Since Steel is embedded into the concrete, assume that it is rigidly connected to the floor, insert anchors at the end of vertical steel support&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042051854v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;7. Insert pipe length to represent the cap at the bottom of the strainer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;8. Insert new pipe properties to represent pipe out the bottom of the component&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;9. Model new piping as needed from bottom of component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;10. Done!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042651664v5.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simplified Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;Instead of modeling the individual supports connecting the component to the floor, assume a flexible anchor and enter stiffness values as needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1663042986628v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;There are a number of ways to model this scenario. The WIKI page will focus on 2 approaches: 1. Detailed and 2. Simplified&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detailed Modeling approach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;This approach will be based on the techniques used to model a pipe connected to a vessel (see AutoPIPE help: &lt;span&gt;Help &amp;gt; Contents&amp;gt; Contents Tab&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Modeling Approaches&amp;gt; Vessel, recommend that you take the time and actually perform this exercise&lt;/span&gt;). The difference is that instead of mounting a pipe to a vessel, model steel mounted to a vessel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;Note: one can model a piping component as complete details but remember that we are performing a pipe stress analysis using an application whos fundamental core assumption is&amp;nbsp;u&lt;span&gt;sing simple Beam element center-line based theory. Therefore, weight and properties are the major importance here. Having a photo realistic looking model is not important.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;1. First model the piping component - see &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/28859/n-how-to-model-piping-components-ex-strainer-filter-flow-meter-etc-in-autopipe"&gt;WIKI here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for suggestion&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;2. Zoom Into the rigid pipe that represents the Piping component.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;3. In this case, model the steel connected to the piping component.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
