Problem:
The following is displayed when using AutoPIPE
* * * W A R N I N G - MODEL * * *
W2261-91: B31 App J: The following tees contain a primary node on the branch leg within
the outer diameter of the header on the following tee(s). Tee flexibility (k)
in all planes will be assumed 1.0
Why and how to avoid it?
Solution:
This is a limitation of the program that it cannot apply tee flexibilities when a tee branch has a node within a distance of Header D/2 from tee center:
Avoidance:
Remove all branch node points that exist within the radial distance of the tee header. Another words, if there is a node point insider of the header pipe of a tee, delete it.
