Hi all :),

I have modelled Pig launcher along with the buried length of the pipe upto and beyond the virtual anchor.

I have not changed the value of FAC, therefore it is 0 for above ground and 0.001 for the buried length.

For the OPE case, I am gettin 0 allowable stress throughout the length of the pipe, except for the elements around the virtual anchor.

Does this mean that, all the pipe elements are experiencing tensile stresses except for the pipe elements that are close to the virtual anchor?

Thanks.
