Problem:

AutoPIPE shows a code combination labeled ‘Max P’ as a hoop stress case…why is this included as a code case?  Does not the Sustained case of GR+Max P properly account for hoop stress per the code?

Solution:

With the model open in AutoPIPE, select Tools> Combinations> non-code comb. tab> Highlight the row for "Gr+Map P" in the grid and press the Modify button at the top of the dialog screen. A new dialog will appear showing the settings used by the program for that combination. Press OK button to close the dialog screen.

Perform the same steps but for  "Max P" code combination.

Notice that they are different?

 

To better understand the difference, please see the following AutoPIPE help section: 

Help > Contents> Search Tab> enter "Combinations Overview" (include the quotes), press List Topics button, double click on the selected topic from the list provided to see more information.

Also, refer to the following AutoPIPE help section:
