A Study on the Development of the Computer Aided Analysis and Design System of the riping Networks of Industrial Plants

산업플랜트 배관계통의 해석 및 설계시스템 개발에 관한 연구

A new computer system for the stress analysis and design of piping network has been devlo-ped in this study. For the stress analysis, the system utilizes the finite element technique in which the frontal technique is used as the equation solver. The element library of the system has (1) Pipe Element (2) Beam Element, (3) Hanger Element and (4) Spring Element which should be sufficient to model the entire piping system including flexible supports, joints, piping rack and hangers. Based on the element stresses, code check has been performed and the safety factor for each element is calculated.
