Problem:

What options are available to insert / override a code calculated SIF in AutoPIPE?

Solution:

See the following options available:

A. Tee components

At the bottom of the dialog, select the drop down for "Type of Tee" and select "OTHER"

Depending on the piping code selected one or more fields will automatically appear where the user can override the calculated SIF values.

B. Flange components

Change "Joint End Type" to "User Defined" and enter Joint SIF values as needed.

C. Valve components

Change "Joint End Type" to "User Defined" and enter Joint SIF values as needed.

D. Flexible Joint components

Change "Joint End Type" to "User Defined" and enter Joint SIF values as needed.

Note: for all other component (Run, Bend, Nozzle, Reducer, etc..) or connections use one of the other options below.

Select an input grid tab for a component (ex. Tee). Set Type = Other / User Define, enter values as needed in columns not grayed out, as shown below:
