5 REVIEW PIPE PROPERTIES

For the selected model, review the pipe properties for Pipe ID A, B and C. While doing so, take note on how the
fabrication thickness is calculated. Also note the Fabrication Factor, Ovality, Minimum Yield and Minimum Tensile.
Fabrication Factor and Ovality fields are for DNV 2012 only.

For Pipe ID A, update the pipe material from CMn-415 to CMn-450 and note the effect on the other fields in the
dialog.

You would need to define the properties for the metallic piping on the dialog:

Enter the following on the Pipe Properties dialog for PipeID A:

Field PipeID A PipeID B PipeID C

Nominal Diameter 200 mm 300 mm 250 mm
Schedule STD STD STD

13 DEFINE ACCIDENTAL LOAD

Open the Wave dialog again. Create a new wave data name, Wave3. Set this to a Load case of U2. This will be an
extreme wave case for the model, to be used in the Accidental Load section of the DNV analysis. Fill in the fields as
shown below.

Press OK to close the Wave Load dialog.

14 UPDATE PRESSURE VALUES FOR OPERATING PRESSURE P1

Update pressure case P1 using the Local Incidental Pressure Calculation tool in the General tab of the DNV 2012
Result Options dialog. The local incidental pressure calculation group on the General tab of DNV 2012 Result
Options dialog is used to update the pressure values at each point in the model for the selected pressure case
based on the reference elevation, reference pressure at the reference elevation, and the specific gravity of internal
fluid.

AutoPIPE 9.6 11

Open the new DNV 2012 Result Options dialog and navigate to the Code Category Options tab.. Note the following
on Use Nom. Thickness checkbox:

When the Use Nom. Thickness check box is checked, AutoPIPE will use nominal thickness for in stress calculations
for that category. When unchecked, AutoPIPE will use the characteristic wall thickness values as suggested by
DNV-OS-F101 table 5-6 (refer to the DNV reference section in the online help for this table). The default state of
the checkbox is unchecked for all categories.

Go through the design factor tab and where the values are used in calculations.

AutoPIPE 9.6 15

Tutorial-DNV-OS-F101-2012.docx Rev 5
Then go to the code combinations tab. Select the Category Components for the ULS and ALS categories as shown
below. The accidental category will use U2, which is the extreme wave load created earlier. Let the ALS
Interference category use U1 case.

On the General tab, review the online help for the Apply ASD check to Bends only and the top two fields and where
to change these.

Note: If None is selected for any of the cases, no load for that section will be applied to the appropriate
combination.

17 SETTING MODEL RESULT OPTIONS

Open the Result Model Options dialog. Note that most of these options affect Legacy AutoPIPE DNV Offshore 1981
results and do not affect the new DNV 2012 results.

18 CREATING A LEGACY DNV 1981 COMBINATION

AutoPIPE does not create default legacy code combinations for categories like expansion / occasional loads by
default. However, the categories are available and user can create combinations for these categories. The results
for these categories would be same as were reported for DNV 1981, except for Hoop stress category, which is
updated according to DNV 2012.

To create a legacy code combination, open the Load Combination dialog and navigate to the Code Comb. tab.
Press the New button to open the User Code Combinations dialog. Fill out the dialog as shown below to create an
Ambient to T3 code combination.

AutoPIPE 9.6 17

Press OK to close this dialog and introduce a new user-defined code combination.

19 CREATING MORE LOAD CONTROLLED COMBINATIONS

Load controlled categories are defined based on the default combinations generated by AutoPIPE. The default
combinations are generated using the factors and components defined under Code Combinations tab of DNV 2012
dialog.

Duplicate the Buck. Comb. Category combination GRTP1W1U1_U{1}, by highlighting the row and pressing the
Duplicate Current button. A new combination named Comb. 1 is created. Update the duplicate combination
created by changing some of the factors and component load cases for that combination. Rename the combination
with a more meaningful name, “10-year wave”.
