When you say piping analysis, are you refering to something that is required by a Code or Standard - perhaps something similar to ASME B31.3?

You should be thinking along the lines of an industry standard product to carry out a Piping Flexibility Analysis.

A good starting point would be either Caesar II or AutoPIPE.

Good luck.
