The increasing use of finite element software for the calculation of pipe flexibility has increased the calculation capacity and detail of these calculations, but at the same time, in general, the analytical capacity of Stress Engineers has decreased and dependence on computers has increased, compared to engineers who in the past did the analysis and calculations of flexibility and stress evaluation manually with the support of empirical equations.
At the same time, new mistakes appear due to the lack of knowledge of the basic concepts of pipe flexibility.
The purpose of this seminar is the recovering of old tools and to show basics concepts of pipe flexibility analysis, as well, to show frequent mistakes that occur when finite element analysis software is used without the required knowledge of this phenomenon, and without the use of empirical equations and rules, used to predict the behavior of Piping systems.
