The "Code Compliance" grid displays the combination set defined for piping code compliance (both the default combinations and user-defined sets). Any default code combination may be modified, deleted or reset and any new user combination created and modified in the same grid.

Comments, Questions, & Answers:

Item #1: Define allowable for all code combination

Item #2: M/S column

Item #3: Is the order of the load cases / combinations of a User defined combination of any consequence?

Item #4: Which Code combinations are considered an Occasional Load(s)?

Item #5: Are predefined stress category maximums [i.e. (LONG), (Sus), (exp), (0cc), (hoop) ] calculated across all analysis set regardless of load cases turned ON / OFF in any one analysis set?

Item #6: Range of T1, T2, T3, ...,Tn thermal load cases

Item #7: Find the MAX load case from a group of load cases

Item #8: DNV code combination for collapse P1..Pn use only T1..Tn load case and not P1..Pn load case

Item #9: Valid combination?

Item #10: Allowable calculation with safety factore

Item #11: Code combinations do not appear the same in 2 different models

Item #12: Correctly add a USER defined N-755-1 (ex. GR + Max P + T1) Code Combinations

Item #13: See Non-code information on Code combinations results

Item #14: Evaluate using the correct allowable for each Nuclear Service Level?

Item #15: Considering that E2=-E1, why are the combinations GRTP2-E1 & GRTP2+E2 results not the same?

Item #16: Determine Young's modulus value used when calculating the bending stress

Item #17: Is Longitudinal Pressure stress included in Code combinations?

Item #18: Sustain Code combination with Gravity, Pressure, and Temperature

Item #19: No Max Range combination was displayed for HDPE piping

Item #20: Calculate moment results (Ma , Mb, Mc) for the selected Combination Method (ex. SRSS, ABS, etc..)

Item #21: Calculate SAM and Expansion stress values independently, and then add these two stress values together

Item #22: SAM cases are not included in code combination, only the seismic force are being evaluated
