Problem:

In my simple model with an Rigid Anchor - Pipe - Rigid Anchor, with when a thermal load case is applied should expect high Code Stresses for Max Range at the anchors, however it appears that AutoPIPE's is not calculating the results correctly, why?

Solution:

Most of the time this is because of an AutoPIPE setting, see the following:

For AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.01.xx and lower:

See Tools> Model Options> Results> Include axial force, enable this check-box option (see online help for details about this setting).

Results with this Setting Turned On:

05. Thermal loading does not seem to be applied in the axial direction in AutoPIPE model, why?
