Piping stress analysis with specialized software
Piping stress analysis with specialized software
(OP)
Hi,
we are designing a piping system according to ASME B31.3 with a specialized software such as Caesar II.
We have a 1% slope in our piping. According to you, do we need to create the slope in our Caesar II simulation or doesn't make any difference in the results? If we don't need to simulate the slope, what is the maximum slope we can do so?
Regards,

Probably doesn't matter at all for a 1% slope. I would enter it as flat. To enter a slope, just change the joint elevation coordinates to correspond to their exact elevation.
