Problem:
For some reason, the 3D view of the model does not show up in the attached .dat file, even though the grid view appears to have components listed. Please advise how we can view the AutoPipe model to complete our analysis.
Solution:
We have investigated the problem with this CII model. There was a geometry issue with a bend element 180-190 in the CII file. This error was also reported inside of CAESAR if you run the error checker. Changing this bend to a pipe run fixed the problem – and I have attached the updated .cii file.
If you want you can fix the original CII by opening in CAESAR 6.1 and changing the 180-190 from Bend to regular pipe run to minimize any differences introduced by version.
The geometry matches between CAESAR and AutoPIPE after this update. CAESAR 5.3 and AutoPIPE 9.6.1 screenshots in centerline mode.
