Wind + Wave

Wind + Wave Analysis

Key advancements in this release include expanded wave load analysis capabilities with the addition of advanced wave theories and improved convergence algorithms, allowing for more precise modeling of nonlinear wave behavior. The introduction of combined wind and wave load cases further enhances the ability to simulate realistic operating conditions for offshore and partially submerged piping systems.

API 661 Qualification

For API 661 Qualification, the allowable column was shown as "NA" when the Nozzle Diameter is 4" (100 mm).

Equipment Qualification Report for API 610

Printing the Equipment Qualification Report for API 610 to CSV and TXT file was issuing Access Violation at Random.

Sorted Stresses result

Sorted Stresses result is not displayed for EN 13480 when the entire layout is buried below the soil.

Relief Value Loading

When a Relief Value Loading dialog was used more than once with a different Force Spectrum Name input, then it was using the Time Function data created for the first time from the back end to generate the new Force Spectrum data.

Wave Load Case

Wave Load Case is turned OFF when Mean Sea Level is input as zero.

Automatic Wave Theory

Incorrect criterion value in Automatic Wave Theory selection caused Stokes Theory to be excluded for part of its valid regime.

Dynamic Susceptibility

Selecting "Dynamic Susceptibility" results was issuing "Access Violation" when the Pipe Material Density is input as 0.0.

Material Library

Tensile Strength values were missing in the Material Library file B313-2024.mat.

Material from a library file with a version earlier than 10.60

When selecting a material from a library file with a version earlier than 10.60 that uses an analysis code other than B31.1, B31.3, B31.9, B31.12 IP, Z183, Z184 and Z662, and applying it to a model whose analysis code is one of the codes listed above, the Tensile Strength value was incorrectly assigned to the Yield Stress field. For example, when selecting a material from the library file EN 13480-2012.mat for a layout using the analysis code ASME B31.1 (2024) , the system incorrectly mapped the Tensile Strength value to the Yield Stress value.
