Question:
When entering data into an AutoPIPE Vessel's expansion joint dialog, the nomenclature used is as shown below:
However, when viewing the output report the nomenclature and figure is completely different, as shown below:
Why?
Answer:
AutoPIPE Vessel is a very dynamic application where it must manage calculations for more than just one code. Because of this there will be some dialogs that must be universal in nature by not using the exact nomenclature of any one code. However, the product team tries to match the output report as close as possible to the specific code. Again, in some cases it may not be exact but very close.
