Thanks, for all your help folks. @1503-44, yes I have rechecked my work and come to the conclusion that we were indeed saying the same thing, and furthermore that the software (with the bourdon effects turned on) does give the correct loads on the supports. If we consider the loads on the...

Code is RCC-M (French nuclear Piping Code) and the pipe for this test case is DN50. The reference pressure is 0 yes and then the pressure in the loadcase in question is 10 MPa, with no rise in temperature. From reading around a bit I think I have tracked down the problem to be the way the...

Apologies, hopefully the image below is a little bit clearer. The anchors are definitely rigidly restraining all 6 movements. There is no movement at all except for downward displacement due to self-weight. Not fully sure what you mean by the pressure starting at 0? I defined the geometry...

Hello all, Having recently started doing pipe stress calculations, I have been trying to test my understanding against some simple computer models using PIPESTRESS software. I have modelled a horizontal length of pipe, with two anchors, and some pipe overhanging the anchors, as shown below...
