The model was created in program version 9.4.0 or 9.4.1 b. The "Use Alt. Occ. Allowable" option was checked in Result Model Options Note: "Use Alt. Occ. Allowable" or Alternate Occasional allowable option is intended for materials operating in the creep range where 0.9*Syt (Austenitic) or 0.72*Syt (Non-Austenitic) instead of 1.33*Sh allowable is permitted. This defect was corrected in v9.5.0.21, where the B31.3 Weld table column number and Tcr (Tcritical) were corrected in the global consistency check. AutoPIPE v9.5.1 maintenance release will be available for download shortly which adds additional checks and messages plus several other error fixes. A full explanation of B31.1 and B31.3 weld reduction factors is included in PDF link below. Please click on the link to download a full description and workaround for this defect.

Please contact Bentley Technical Support to request a corrected version of this library. ftp://ftp.bentley.com/pub/tools/fixes/autopipe/Euro2009_GRP8.1_8.2.pdf http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6890834 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:40:00 EDT In fact, the biggest limitation in the calculation of piping does not come allowable stress in the pipe but designing for acceptable loads on pressure vessels or rotating equipment. In this e-seminar you will learn how an expert in stress analysis solves these problems with AutoPIPE tools. Topics covered include: * The flexibility of the nozzle using WRC 297 with alternative methods and, their impact on the the use of finite element * The codes API 610, API617, NEMA SM23 for rotating equipment * The calculation of stress on pressure vessels when the AutoPIPE loads on the nozzle are included using AutoPIPE Nozzle. * The challenges working with company provided nozzle loads for their pressure vessels * Working with tables of empirical nozzle loads to help figure out how far you are in your calculations Jeannine Fuchs has 30 years of international experience in stress analysis and provides training in stress analysis with AutoPipe of Bentley Systems. Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM BST http://appsnet.bentley.com/eventregistration/registration.aspx?EID=e80361ec0bac4027ada3b9a0&CID=CO_ESEM_ATP_EMEA_101712 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6805047 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:03:00 EDT Grundsätzlich ist besonders zeitintensiv bei der Spannungsberechnung die Begrenzung und nicht die zulässige Spannung bei der Auslegungstemperatur, die Stutzenbelastungen auf Druckbehälter und auf rotierende Equipments. Der Stress Engineer muss versuchen, dieses schwerwiegende Problem zu lösen. In diesem E-Seminar erfahren Sie, wie ein Experte in Stress Analysis dieses Problem mit AutoPIPE Werkzeugen löst. Folgende Themen werden behandelt: • Die Flexibilität der Stutzen mit WRC 297 mit ihren Grenzen und alternativ der Einsatz von Finite Elemente • Die Codes API 610, API617, NEMA SM23 für das rotierende Equipment • Die Spannugsnachweise von Druckbehälterstutzen, wenn die Belastungen von AutoPIPE auf dem Stutzen mit AutoPIPE Nozzle berücksichtigt sind. • Was muss beachtet werden, wenn große Firmen Ihnen zulässige Stutzenbelastungen für ihre Druckbehälter geben? • Es gibt Tabellen von empirisch zulässigen Stutzenbelastungen von verschiedenen Apparaten. Wie können Sie damit arbeiten? Dieses E-Seminar wird von Jeannine Fuchs durchgeführt, und sie wird mit Ihnen ihre Erfahrungen in Stress Analysis teilen und Ihnen die Vorteile von AutoPIPE Werkzeugen zeigen. Jeannine Fuchs hat 30 Jahre internationale Erfahrung in Stress-Analyse und bietet Schulungen in Spannungsanalyse mit Autopipe von Bentley Systems an. Termin: 18.10.2012 Zeit: 15:00 – 16:00 Uhr http://appsnet.bentley.com/eventregistration/registration.aspx?EID=dbfb0236ac93436285d980f2&CID=CO_ESEM_GE_REGFRMAUTOPIP http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6793373 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:43:00 EDT En réalité, la plus grande limitation dans le calcul de tuyauterie ne provient pas des contraintes admissibles dans la tuyauterie mais des efforts sur les tubulures d’appareils sous pression ou des équipements rotatifs. Aussi, l’ingénieur doit-il prêter une attention particulière à ce problème. Dans ce séminaire nous découvrirons l’approche d’un spécialiste expérimenté et les outils mis à sa disposition dans AutoPIPE comme Jeannine Fuchs est diplômée Ingénieur de L’INSA de Lyon en génie mécanique. Elle dirige un bureau d’études spécialisé en calcul de flexibilité et dispense des formations en calcul de flexibilité des tuyauteries depuis plus de 20 années.
