Problem:
How can the pipe movement be greater than the support gap setting for wind load combinations in AutoPIPE?
Solution:
Please see the following file "Nonlinear_wind_load_analysis.pdf". It all depends on the specified load sequence or initial state. Defining nonlinear wind loads is much easier in AutoPIPE as all combinations are created for you automatically.
