Problem:

Under load; Response force spectrum Selecting seismic code EURO The values displayed in the result is correct for input: Gravity but changing the input to Acceleration the values need to be multiplied by 25.4, is this correct?

Solution:

Yes, Response Spectrum, Seismic codes acceleration is wrongly listed for SI units. This issue was repeatable in AutoPIPE 09.06.00.15 and will be fixed in the next version of the application 09.06.00.19 and higher.
