Contents

Specification of number and location of partially restrained connection in a SiS section (Input Table)

Data description/conditions:

REFIDENT:

Identification name of polygon point (n)

Undefined / Existing identification

(REFIDENT should come from table ORIGIN or POLYDIF or be generated by the program)

( REFIDENT should be positioned on the inner pipe and within the SiS section)

ΔAX-L:

Distance from polygon point (REFIDENT) along pipeline axis to the first partially restrained connection in polygon line (n)

Required / may be negative

(A negative value means a distance back towards the origin.)
(Column may be toggled to ΔX-P, ΔAX-LP, Δ Node, Δ Element or Identifier, see toggling data tables.)

N-PRC:

Number of additional partially restrained connections

> 0 / Undefined = 0

(Each PRC is located on the inner pipe and should have an accompanying outer pipe element, perpendicular from the outer pipe)

PRC-DIST:

Distance between consecutive PRCs

> 0. / Undefined if N-PRC = undefined

PRC-TYPE:

Type of partially restrained connection

Required / Prescribed names

(In the current version only 'Rollers' are allowed)
