1. Purpose and description#

The objective of this macro-command is to perform post-processing of linear elastic calculations, taking into account the elasto-plastic behavior of pipe lines under earthquake and permanent loads, according to the simplified Roche method.

It takes moment values (MT components, MFY and MFZ) as input from calculations corresponding to various types of loading (inertial earthquake, self-weight,…) on pipe lines (elements POU_D_T only). These moments are provided either in the form of fields to the nodes per element (ELNO) or as results containing the EFGE_ELNO field.

This macro command treats cases where:

  1. all loads are time-independent (keyword factor RESU_MECA)

  2. a loading (inertial seismic loading) is time-dependent (keyword factor RESU_MECA_TRAN)

In the first case, the output concept is a field with nodes by elements of quantity NEUT_R.

The first 16 components Xi of this quantity correspond to the following characteristics:

X1

Reference constraint due to travel

X2

Reference stress due to inertial earthquake

X3

Local reversibility due to travel

X4

Local reversibility due to inertial earthquake

X5

Total reversibility due to travel

X6

Total reversibility due to inertial earthquake

X7

Monotone spring effect factor

X8

Seismic spring effect factor

X9

Maximum monotonic spring effect factor

X10

Maximum Seismic Spring Effect Factor

X11

Monotonous reduction coefficient

X12

Seismic reduction coefficient

X13

Optimized monotonic reduction coefficient

X14

Optimized seismic reduction coefficient

X15

Equivalent stress

X16

Optimized equivalent stress

The following 4 are added to perform verifications. These 4 components are equal to 0 or 1. The value 1 means that during the calculation, a value for the true stress was obtained that was less than the pressure stress. In this case, this induces a reduction coefficient of 1.

X17

Monotonous true constraint criterion

X18

True seismic stress criterion

X19

Optimized monotonic true constraint criterion

X20

Optimized true seismic stress criterion

Finally, 8 other components give the values of the true stresses and true deformations calculated.

X21

Monotonous true constraint

X22

True seismic stress

X23

Optimized monotonous true constraint

X24

Optimized true seismic stress

X25

True monotonic deformation

X26

True seismic deformation

X27

Optimized true monotone deformation

X28

Optimized true seismic deformation

It is specified that in the case where RCCM_RX =” OUI “, the components X11, X12, X12, X15, X17, X18, X21, X22, X25 and X26 are not used and are left at 0.

In the second case, the output concept is a result comprising, for each requested calculation moment, a field with nodes by elements of magnitude NEUT_R as described for the first case. These fields are listed by the field name UT01_ELNO.

This concept also contains another field of the same type corresponding to each node of each element and for each component to the maximum of the values reached at all times. This field is listed by the field name UT02_ELNO and the time 0.

The fields and calculated results are printed into the « result » file using the IMPR_RESU [U4.91.01] or POST_RELEVE_T [U4.81.21] commands (by specifying the appropriate order numbers in the case of result concepts).
