Hello everybody,

I am currently working on a piping stress analysis for a subsea in-line sled and am having a difficult time figuring out how to model the vertical connector hubs. I just started learning AutoPIPE about 2 weeks ago, and have been working on it in between other project work, so I'm still not up to full speed on everything it can do. I was thinking that I could model them as a section of pipe and just change the stiffness properties to match the hub. Any suggestions.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Kat
