Problem:

The following appears when trying to analyze a model in AutoPIPE, why?

---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
 W507-3:   System contains undesigned hangers
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

How to avoid this message. 

Solution:

This is a warning message to the user to be aware that the model has a number of Spring supports that are set as Undesigned. If an analysis is performed, incorrect support loads will be used and the results would  be inaccurate. 

Question: Which supports are set to Undesigned. 

Answer: Open Support input grids and order the Undesigned column to see if any support has this option enabled.

 

Avoidance: 

Simple, run Hanger Selection command (Analysis > Analyze > Hanger Selection), and then analyze the model.

Known issue:

If Show Hanger report option is enabled but does not appear after running the analysis, consider the following. 

Question: Does the model contain Crosses and Tees?

If yes, modify the model's geometry by placing a run point between tee junctions that immediately precede a cross junction (1922644).
