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.
User Code Combinations dialog
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
