Test Set Execution Status Matrix ...............................................................................................................................- 1 -
INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
The overall objective of this document is to provide a means of validation for the AutoPIPE computer program to
analyze and produce accurate results for a variety of piping models as installed in a specific operating
environment.
The accuracy of the AutoPIPE program is verified by Bentley during execution of Alpha Tests, which are performed
prior to any commercial or Quality Assured release. Alpha Tests consist of a matrix of test systems designed to
capture key feature attributes related to numeric and functional processing. Each set of test outputs is compared
to a prepared set of expected results (i.e. hand calculations, MathCADs, some other well established computer
program, etc.), and evaluated for acceptance. The test matrix has been developed, verified, and documented per
the requirements of the Bentley Software Quality Assurance Procedures (D/N# QAP). This document represents
only a selected sampling of test systems and results from the entire Alpha Test matrix.
Bentley provides QA & Reporting service subscribers with the Acceptance Test Set (ATS) in order for the client to
verify and validate proper operation of the AutoPIPE program as installed. The ATS is made available to Bentley
Select subscribers as a convenience since software validation and verification is a common requirement of
mandated quality control procedures.
As stated above, many program features are verified by the ATS. However, it should not be construed as being
complete for testing of all program functions. Bentley is constantly developing additional tests for specific program
features as the need arises.
This ATS is intended for use with AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries 2 (v9.3.2).
PROVIDED
1.
A recommended procedure for validating the integrity of the installed AutoPIPE program (see next page).
2.
Test Set Execution Status Matrix (see Appendix A). These forms provide a summary list of all verification
and validation test systems contained in this document. The forms are formatted to allow individual
approval on each test system as it is verified.
3.
A downloadable setup program for the AutoPIPE ATS from Bentley SELECT services Online
(http://selectservices.bentley.com/) containing all input files required to properly execute each of the
verification and validation test systems and reference output files.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES
A. BASE METHOD
The following is recommended as the Base Method procedure for executing the ATS for the Windows edition of
AutoPIPE:
Download the setup program for the AutoPIPE ATS from Bentley SELECT services Online and run it to install its
contents to the hard disk on your computer. The uncompressed input files (DAT, CMB, UNT, and SPC) require at
least 30 MB of hard disk space. Remember that additional free disk space is needed in order to execute the
program and create output files. The setup program will guide you step-by-step through the installation. The
default destination directory is "C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries2\ATS". The input files will be placed in the
AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries 2 Acceptance Test Set
specified destination and the previously verified output files will be placed in a directory named OUT located in
the destination directory. Once all the files have been installed, the setup program will display the final dialog with
instructions and permit review of the README.ATS file (an icon will be added to the program group allowing
review of this file at a later time). Upon pressing Finish the installation is complete.
Make a copy of the Test Set Execution Status Matrix form supplied in Appendix A. These forms provide a means
for logging what test examples have been performed, by whom, and when the runs were completed.
(If archive is required) store all output files (i.e. *.HGR & *.OUT) and other files (i.e. *.LIN, *.EIG, etc.) generated by
executing the entire test set on CD or floppy disks. More than 1 floppy diskette will be required if the entire test
set is run according to the instructions.
Execute AutoPIPE and perform the testing as per the documented procedures for each respective test system.
Then, compare the results produced by AutoPIPE to the results reported in this document. If the results agree with
those documented, record a successful execution on the Test Set Execution Status Matrix form.
At regular intervals during your testing, archive all files (both input and output) to the diskettes formatted in step 3
to CD, or to some other archive location such as a network drive. Once a test system has been successfully
executed and backed up, its associated files (input and output) may be deleted from the working directory. This
may be necessary to clear enough disk space for continued execution of the test set.
Successful execution of all test systems validates the installation of the program on the current hardware and
operating environment. Completed status forms, backup diskettes, and approval forms (along with appropriate
review) constitute an acceptable record of the validation process for this installation.
B. AUTOMATED SYSTEM PROCESSING METHOD

As an alternative to performing individual execution for each test system, an automated (or batch) processing
method is also available. This procedure uses the "automated system processing" feature available in AutoPIPE to
automatically execute the required analyses, and produce an output report for each test system (Refer to the
AutoPIPE Reference Information in the AutoPIPE Online Help). Also, each output file generated by the test is
automatically compared to the verified reference output file provided with the Acceptance Test Set.
The following is recommended as the Automated System Processing Method procedure for executing the ATS for
the Windows edition:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Follow Base Method Steps 1, 2, and 3 defined in section A.

After installing the AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries2 ATS in step 1, the AutoPIPE Program Group should contain
four new icons: ATS Documentation, AutoPIPE Readme.ATS, Execute AutoPIPE V8i ATS and Review
AutoPIPE ATS Results in Error.log.
During the automated system processing, the outputs generated by AutoPIPE during your validation test
runs will be compared to the previously verified output files (from Alpha tests) located in the OUT
directory of the AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries2 Acceptance Test Set program directory.
The batch file RUNQA.BAT controls the automated process.
A portion of the RUNQA.BAT is illustrated below:
autopipe QA23
/s
/b
call autocomp.bat QA23.OUT %1\QA23.OUT
autopipe QA24
/s
/b
autopipe QA35
/s
/b
The individual autopipe statements execute AUTOPIPE.EXE with the automated system processing
switches indicated. The autocomp.bat statements execute the file comparison program AC.EXE. This
program compares the OUT file generated during your validation runs to the reference OUT file located in
the OUT directory of the AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries2 Acceptance Test Set program directory. The result
of this comparison is stored in the text file ERROR.LOG.
5.
To begin the automated system processing, select the "Execute AutoPIPE V8i ATS for Windows icon from
the AutoPIPE Program Group. The following window is displayed:
6.
Select the "Run ATS" menu option to display the following dialog:
Select the directory where AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries2 is installed. When the directory is correct,
"autopipe.exe" will be displayed in the list of files (for example autopipe should be displayed twice below
"File Name" in the dialog. Upon accepting the above dialog, the automated process begins by executing
the RUNQA.BAT commands. A progress bar displays the completion status of the run.
Most of the screens that would appear during a normal interactive AutoPIPE session will be displayed as
the automated processing executes. If an error or warning message is encountered, the automated
system processing (AutoPIPE execution) is halted until the note in the Message Window is cleared (by
pressing ENTER) manually.
NOTE: Some test systems will execute in the AutoPIPE "Plus" with KHK2 Add-on or Nuclear editions
only. The validation tester should modify the RUNQA batch file as required.
7.
Upon completion of the automated runs a prompt is displayed that the ATS was finished successfully.
Review, and archive, the text file ERROR.LOG by selecting the "Review AutoPIPE ATS Results in
ERROR.LOG" icon. Any differences between the generated OUT files and the reference OUT files will be
summarized in this file. Note that there will always be a few differences captured in the log file. These
differences are due to the date/time stamping of the analysis files which are captured in the Analysis
Summary sub-report produced for several (but not all) of the test systems. Also, there may be minor
numeric differences, refer to the Acceptance Criteria section for further details.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The verified AutoPIPE results published in this document, and located in the OUT directory of the AutoPIPE V8i
SELECTseries2 Acceptance Test Set are from the "AutoPIPE Nuclear edition. The results produced by AutoPIPE
Nuclear on any computer should match these published values exactly. Due to differences in computer
architecture and operating systems, other releases of AutoPIPE may produce results that are slightly different from
the published values. However, the difference in values should meet the following criteria:
1.
2.
The magnitude of a result quantity should be within 1.0% of the corresponding AutoPIPE Nuclear
quantity.
The sign of result items associated with dynamic analysis (e.g. mode shapes, participation factors, etc.)
may be different; however, the magnitude should meet the first criteria.
Should any questions arise during the verification process please contact the AutoPIPE Technical Support
Department for additional details. Bentley SELECT members have priority telephone, and E-mail to ensure member
access to support anytime, anywhere--with a guaranteed response in under four hours.

TEST SYSTEM: QA92

INPUT FILES:
QA92.DAT, QA92.CMB
PURPOSE:
To verify the proper application of an elastic-plastic soil force vs displacement response in a
nonlinear analysis.
SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION:
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Static (nonlinear) analysis and solve for the gravity load case (GR) only. Use the default
NONLINEAR ANALYSIS dialog tolerances, and (load) sequencing.
RESULT: Produce an Output Report containing only the Displacement, and Restraint sub-reports. Use the
File/Print command to send the .OUT file to the printer for a hard copy.
THEORY: The pipe is restrained by continuous, longitudinal elastic soil springs. An axial load of 700 kips is applied
at point A01. With the defined soil properties, this loading produces elastic deformation in the region near the
anchored point (A00), and inelastic deformation in the region near the free end point (A01).

CONCLUSION: AutoPIPE agrees with NUREG. Although the signs differ for the mode shape displacements, they
are consistent. This is acceptable since modal displacements swing both positive and negative.

TEST SYSTEM: QA113A

INPUT FILES:
QA113A.DAT, QA113A.CMB, EC40SE.SPC
PURPOSE:
To compare AutoPIPE frequency results to Benchmark Problem No. 3 contained in NUREG/CR1677, Vol. 1 (8/80).
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Modal analysis (cutoff frequency 100 Hz, one pressure stiffening case). Ten (10) modes
should be obtained.
RESULT: Produce an Output Report containing only the Frequency sub-report. Use the File/Print command to
send the .OUT file to the printer for a hard copy.
RESULTS:
There is a discrepancy in the NUREG manual between the input data listing and the model illustration for the
orientation of the supports at points A11, and A13. For one geometric configuration (this model), only the
frequency data correlates to the published NUREG values. For the other configuration (QA113B), only the force
and moment data correlates to the published NUREG values. This problem has been confirmed by other software;
and NUREG itself has acknowledged the inconsistency.

PURPOSE:
To compare AutoPIPE response spectrum results obtained by the SRSS and Grouping modal
response combination methods to the same combination methods calculated by Impell Corporation's SUPERPIPE
(version 22C).
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Modal analysis (cutoff frequency 33 Hz, no pressure stiffening). Forty one (41) modes should
RESULT: Produce an Output Report containing only the Restraint sub-report. Use the File/Print command to send
the .OUT file to the printer for a hard copy.
THEORY: For systems with closely spaced modes, as in this example, the Grouping combination method (a close
mode ratio equal to 10% is used) gives more accurate results than the SRSS method for forces and displacements.
EXPECTED RESULTS: In general, the Grouping method results (load combination R2) should be larger than those
of the SRSS method (load combination R1). AutoPIPE results for the load combination R1 should match
SUPERPIPE's results for the response spectrum analysis STSS; and AutoPIPE results for R2 should match
SUPERPIPE's results for GRUP.

PURPOSE:
To compare AutoPIPE response spectrum results obtained by the SRSS and Double sum modal
response combination methods to the same combination methods calculated by Impell Corporation's SUPERPIPE
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Modal analysis (cutoff frequency 33 Hz, no pressure stiffening). Forty-one (41) modes should
THEORY: For systems with closely spaced modes, as in this example, the Double sum combination method gives
more accurate results than the SRSS method for forces and displacements.
EXPECTED RESULTS: In general, the Double sum method results (load combination R2) should be larger than
those of the SRSS method (load combination R1). AutoPIPE results for the load combination R1 should match
SUPERPIPE's results for the response spectrum analysis STSS; and AutoPIPE results for R2 should match
SUPERPIPE's results for DBLS.

TEST SYSTEM: QA120

INPUT FILES:
QA120.DAT
PURPOSE:
To verify that the automatic hanger selection procedure makes proper selections for all
undesigned spring hangers.
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Hanger Selection run using a nonlinear static analysis (check Gap/Friction/Soil) for the
thermal (T1) load case only. Use the default tolerances and (load) sequencing for the nonlinear analysis. Once the
hanger selection run has finished, use the File/Print command to send the .HGR file to the printer for a hard copy.
THEORY: First the hot load (Fhot), and the thermal movement (thermal) at each hanger location is determined.
Then, AutoPIPE calculates a cold load (Fcold) for an assumed spring size and spring rate per the following equation:
F cold = F hot + k thermal

If both Fhot and Fcold fall within the published working range capacity, the spring is available for use. From the list of
available springs (Refer to the AutoPIPE Reference Information in the AutoPIPE Online Help), AutoPIPE selects the
spring with the shortest range and the lowest spring rate. Refer to the AutoPIPE Reference Information in the
AutoPIPE Online Help for more details on the automatic hanger selection procedure.

PURPOSE:
To verify proper application of concentrated force loads acting on a portal frame configuration of
frame members.
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Static (linear) analysis and solve for the wind load cases (W1, & W2) only.
RESULT: Produce an Output Report containing only the Displacement, and Restraint sub-reports. Use the
File/Print command to send the .OUT file to the printer for a hard copy.
THEORY: The structure is statically indeterminate to the third degree. The method of consistent deformations is
used to solve load combination W1 (assuming equal distribution of the lateral load by the columns). Thus, force
and displacement results are easily obtainable. However, the force (matrix) method is used to solve load
combination W2, limiting results to forces and moments only.

PURPOSE:
The model is to verify the forces and moments calculated for the Hydrotest combination using
the ASME NB Nuclear code.
PROCEDURE:
ANALYZE: Perform a Static (linear) analysis and solve for all defined load cases(GR, HY, T1, and P1) .
RESULT: Produce an Output Report containing the Forces and Moments, Stress Summary, Stress Indices and
Preliminary Stress sub-report. Use the File/Print command to send the .OUT file to the printer for a hard copy.
THEORY: There are two identical models in the dat file, except the model with point A00 has insulation , no
contents and a variable spring hanger support, whereas the model with point C00 has no insulation, water
contents, and a rigid v-stop support.
The model with C00 is used as a base model for confirming the forces and moments of the Hydrotest combination
are calculated correctly.
The load combination GR+1.25P1+1.25T1 at point C00 from segment C should match the Hydrotest
combination at point A00 from segment A.
