Analysis of tie-in calculations for the pipeline on the basis of specialized software

Abstract

This paper solves the problem of strength loads during the inserting a branch into the main line. The calculations carried out in a manual form and with the help of the Russian software START, which specializes in pipeline calculations. 3D-model of pipelines was designed to solve the problem and 3D-model visualized the using of the software Intergraph Smart Plant 3D. The results obtained in the development of the model, that made it possible to establish the most optimal characteristics of the pipeline tie-in for a strength loads and to identify the need to use reinforcement of this tie-in. In the course of the research, significant aspects of strength calculations studied, as well as features of the use of specialized software. The calculation used in the actual design of the CDU/VDU complex of the Omsk refinery.This paper solves the problem of strength loads during the inserting a branch into the main line.
