Related buried pipe, I have buried pipe for all section which anchored at both ends. The anchors are buried too.I inputed soil model, and Caesar coverted it. I did not know why the anchor restraints changed as Caesar converting result. And, analysis result had no stess due to thermal expansion. But, if I changed anchor sections to buried bends, overstress occured at that section.
The objective of the model is to analysis stress happens in buried pipeline due to thermal expansion (difference of installed-operated).
Sharing of expeciences and advice are very appreciated
