Fixed version: TBD
Workaround: Suggest analyzing the model or creating multiple models each one using a different piping code. Then select, review, and print the output for just the applicable run of pipe per the required code.
Example, run analysis using ASME NB Nuclear piping code, select the node points that must be analyzed per ASME NB code, create an output report "Limit results to highlighted points", and repeat above steps after selecting a different piping code, etc...
