A piping system often includes supports with gaps, friction and/or those which are buried in soil. The nonlinear behavior of such supports require a nonlinear (iterative) analysis to accurately determine the loads on the supports and/or the friction forces. Nonlinearity means that each loading condition can affect the system differently. Consequently, linear algebraic combination of the load results isn't the correct approach. 

AutoPIPE addresses that problem through the load sequencing approach. Load sequencing presents a real-life scenario for progressions. When load sequencing is performed by an advanced nonlinear analysis program it yields significant benefits. Before addressing those benefits, some background is necessary. 

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• The background behind nonlinear load sequencing
• Control parameters for a successful simulation
• Real case studies
