1. Module Level Piping-Structural Loads Interface
Modelling Considerations
Piping is dominated by structure so only the Pipe Support Reaction
(PSR) loads from the pipe stress analysis models are represented
directly. However, a visual display of the piping systems overlain on the
structural analysis model as shown is useful to confirm correct location
of the pipe routing and therefore also the location of PSR’s
Loads Management
Basic loads for weight, wind, blast, and pressure &
temperature are derived from loads-at-restraints output from
the pipe stress analysis and applied to the structural analysis
models in the form of equivalent force-couples.
