03. A valve has to meet an allowable acceleration, how AUTOPIPE would handle this qualification?


Answer: 

Generate an acceleration report and review the results to see if they pass the allowable acceleration. There is no way of defining an allowable in this report. It would be a manual review of the output. Or export to excel, and evaluate with a formula / conditional formatting. Acceleration data is calculated at the valve mid point and the Actuator's DX, DY, DZ offsets
