Problem:
The following is displayed when creating a Stress Isometric
---------------------------
Bentley AutoPIPE
---------------------------
Program has detected disconnect in selected Pipeline which is not supported. Please select a connected Pipeline for generating Stress Isometric.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
How to avoid this from happening?
Solution:
At this time OPIM is not able to produce a stress isometric that has disconnected segments, Typically resulting from multiple systems in one model or from modeling base supported elbows / tees.
Question: How do I know if there is disconnected segments in my model?
Answer: Easy, in AutoPIPE press on Select> Connected Segments>
The following will be displayed:
A stress iso can be created from a single connected group, but cannot be created from a model / selection with 2 or more groups. This is a current limitation of the application and will be fixed in a future version of the application.
There is one other reason that would cause this dialog above to appear, Tee in model is being processed as a Cross component with a missing leg. This issue has been logged under, TFS-D 668804, and will be fixed in AutoPIPE CONNECT 11.1 Update 1 and higher (note: the workaround below will not resolve this issue. Please log service request and send model for review referencing this WIKI page).
Workaround:
Select only one group of piping from the above command and on the Stress Isometric Manager Options dialog enable the "use selected range" option.
For base supported Elbows / Tess -
Option #1:
Again use only one selected set of connected segments as noted above. After generating isometric, manually copy / paste supports symbols to node points as needed.
or
Option #2:
Merge table data from one drawing into Isometric with supports from another drawing.
a. Create a Isometric as mentioned above with a selected range.
b. Open isometric drawing and erase everything except the border and table information .
c. Save the model as another name,
d. Delete each base supported elbow / tee structure
e. Insert new supports at delete location in previous step, suggest using single V-stop support
f Run Analysis, and create the stress new stress isometric with no table data.
g. Manually copy tables from original isometric and paste to new isometric
