Problem:

What does "*w/sus. load margin" mean in the AutoPIPE's Code compliance output report?

Solutions:

The solution to this question is directly related to understanding 2 settings:

a. Sustain Margin (Y/N/E)

b. Use min. sustained margin (where available)

It is up to the individual and their engineering judgement on what value to use for these settings. However, it is possible for a code combination to fail (ex. 1.32%), but will pass when sustain load margin was applied (ex. 0.85%). 

According to Results Summary code requirements have been satisfied

Otherwise, if Sus. load margin was not applied, the node point would report as being over stressed and would not satisfy code requirements. 

Again, the user should decide when or if sustain load margin can be applied to a model / project. For more information, refer to the following.
