Add-on Module for RFEM 5
RF-PIPING Design

RF-PIPING Design is used to design pipelines. The module compares the existing stresses with the allowable stresses according to the selected standards. The design in RF-PIPING Design is based on the pipe modeling in RF-PIPING add-on module.

It allows you to perform piping stress analysis, taking into account various loads and thermal expansion. You can benefit from useful feature, such as the check of minimum wall thicknesses, stress analysis of different load types, and comprehensive result documentation.

Graphical Representation of Pipeline Analysis Results in RFEM

Working with RF-PIPING Design

After modeling piping systems in RFEM using RF‑PIPING and defining loads as well as load and result combinations, you can carry out pipe stress analysis in the RF‑PIPING Design add‑on module.

You can select all or only some pipelines and loads, load or result combinations for piping design. The material library provides various materials according to EN 13480‑3, ASME B31.1‑2012, and ASME B31.3‑2012 standards.

After the calculation, the results are displayed in clearly arranged windows; for example, by cross‑section, by pipeline, or by members. You can also display the design ratio graphically on the entire model in RFEM. This way, you can quickly recognize critical or oversized areas of the cross-section.

In addition to the input and result data, including design details displayed in tables, you can add all graphics into the printout report. This way, comprehensible and clearly arranged documentation is guaranteed. You can select the report contents and extent specifically for the individual designs.
