What's
new in TRIFLEX®Windows 2.5.3
Fatigue
Analysis
The
ability perform a Fatigue Analysis has been incorporated
into this version of TRIFLEX®Windows. This currently
applies to piping systems designed using B31.1, B31.3,
B31.4, B31.5, and B31.8 piping codes, using both internally
stored and/or user defined design fatigue curves.
Occasional loads, including wind, static equivalent
static loading, response spectrum, and time history
dynamic loading have been incorporated into TRIFLEX®Windows
fatigue analysis functionality. The name of the fatigue
curve associated with a particular component is now
shown graphically in the Input Parameter Graphics.

Abbreviated
Code Compliance Report
The
Main Menu/Output menu has been modified by adding
an additional option that displays the Code Compliance
report only for selected components. Should no components
be selected when the menu is brought down, or no code
compliance output be available, the control is grayed
out and is not selectable.
|
Jacketed
Piping
-
Jacketed piping is shown with a transparency effect
for better visual cues.
- The
Release component is modified to include the spacers
that are also represented graphically.
- In
a skewed piping model the Release component will
follow the pipe direction.

Pressure
Contribution
Whether
pressure displacement stress is to be included as
a primary stress along with weight, or a secondary
stress along with thermal effects, is now an option
selectable by the user in the Setup/Modeling Defaults
dialog. The default is for it to be included along
with weight as in past versions of TRIFLEX®Windows;
however, should fatigue analysis be selected, the
effect of pressure stress defaults to being included
with thermal effects for a more realistic calculation
of the alternating stress intensity. |
Code
Compliance Spreadsheet Link to Component Input Dialogs
A
link has been incorporated between the Code Compliance
Spreadsheet and the Component Input Dialogs. By double
clicking on a row in the spreadsheet, the component
dialog for the component containing the data point
on that row is brought up for examination. |

more information, please read the version
history archive.
