30ö gas pipeline HDD bending stresses
30ö gas pipeline HDD bending stresses
(OP)
I am designing a 30" gas pipeline extension. The extension will require placement by HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling)
I am looking for the industry standard software to analyize the internal pressure stress, external soil pressure stress, the stress from pipe deflection or radius through the HDD, etc
Is the COADE, Inc.: CAESAR II software a useful tool for this instance?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

(Pipe system flexibility analysis is performed using a 3D Beam element, where the cross section is assumed to remain intact.)
