Piping Technology & Products has issued a series of interesting video tutorial about how Piping design and analysis influences pipe support selection and design, covering topic from basic concepts of piping layout and stress analysis, to advances selection of piping supports.
New pipe stress module PCL Gold available in the latest release of FE/Pipe.
PCL Gold can be used in case of friction and other non linerarity convergence issues, to automatically run FEA at intersection, to study pipes with large D/T, in case of multiple load cases, high number of cicles, if we want to automatically run FEA at intersections, if accurate ASME B31.1 and B31.3 i-factor and k-factor has to be calculated, for acoustically involved vibrations, glass line pipes and refractory line pipes.
