Piping Design and Analysis

• define piping layout directly in the

built-in, Windows-native spreadsheet

• draw the piping system using

built-in modeling tools

• open a CAD universal file and

then modify the geometry

• open files from other piping

software packages

• displays deflected shapes,

forces and moments, mode

shapes, support reactions and

stress contours including code

stress, principal stress, longitudinal

stress and hoop stress

• displays deflection and modal

analysis result animations

• built-in checking of all results for

ASME and ANSI code compliance

Analysis Capabilities
• Linear static stress analysis
