Hi

I have a doubt related to calculation of Resultant forces on Supports.

I have used ASME codes B31.8 and B31.3 to calculate the Resultant forces on Supports. I cannot understand why result force an same nodes as per ASME B31.8 & B31.3 are not equal. Both values are coming different.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards

There is not enough information here to answer your question. A proper answer will require a review of the two job files. Please open a Support Request on Smart Support and send in the job files.

Maybe because the rate of thermal expansions of the two codes are slightly different?
