*HEADING PIPE WHIP SIMULATION ** ** This example simulates a pipe-on-pipe impact resulting from ** the rupture of a high-pressure line in a power plant. It is ** assumed that a sudden release of fluid could cause one segment ** of the pipe to rotate about its support and strike a ** neighboring pipe. ** ** Generate a 138 x 45 mesh for the impacting pipe. ** *SYSTEM 0., 0., 3.3125, 0., 1., 3.3125 0., 0., 4.3125 *NODE, SYSTEM=C 1, 3.0965, -90., -25. 46, 3.0965, 90., -25. *NODE, SYSTEM=R 100000, 0., 0., -25. *NGEN, NSET=SECTA, LINE=C 1, 46, 1, 100000, 0., 0., -25., 0., 0., 1. *NCOPY, SHIFT, CHANGE NUMBER=1242, OLD SET=SECTA, NEW SET=SECTB 15., 0., 0. 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0. *NFILL, NSET=END1P1 SECTA, SECTB, 27, 46 *NCOPY, SHIFT, CHANGE NUMBER=5106, OLD SET=SECTA, NEW SET=SECTC 35., 0., 0. 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0. *NFILL, NSET=MIDP1 SECTB, SECTC, 84, 46 *NCOPY, SHIFT, CHANGE NUMBER=6348, OLD SET=SECTA, NEW SET=SECTD 50., 0., 0. 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0. *NFILL, NSET=END2P1 SECTC, SECTD, 27, 46 *NSET, NSET=PIPE1 END1P1, MIDP1, END2P1 *ELEMENT, TYPE=S4R 1, 1, 2, 48, 47 *ELGEN, ELSET=PIPE1 1, 45, 1, 1, 138, 46, 45 *SHELL SECTION, ELSET=PIPE1, MATERIAL=STEEL, SECTION INTEGRATION=GAUSS 0.432, *NSET, NSET=SECTE, GENERATE 1, 6349, 46 46, 6394, 46 *BOUNDARY SECTE, YSYMM REFPT, 1, 1, 0.
