View displacement plot for GRT1E2{1} load combination

High DY displacement = -4.286” in at C12F (Possible clash between 2 pipes)

8| Page
Very high displacement of DX = 207.3 in at C02F

Any of the AutoPIPE Load Combinations can be shown displayed on screen and exported to
Bentley Navigator for check Hot Clash detection

Tools > Combinations (Select non-code combinations)

Result > Output Report

Check the maximum displacements in X, Y, Z directions as possible areas of clashes

10 | P a g e
To find other segments which give high displacements, select segments and produce a report
limited to highlighted points only

Select > Connected Segments, select all groups except segment C

Export to JSM using (File > Export > JSpace Model (*.jsm))
Hint: If the insulation is displayed on the pipes then insulated deflected pipes will also be
exported for clash detection.

Select ‘Deflected Model Graphics’ and choose load combination for deflected model
