Support Load Summary
This gives you a summary of many combinations of different load cases by showing the algebraically minimum and maximum loads. This table can be of use to a support designer.
CAEPIPE will report support load summaries at every support in the model for over 150 + load combinations (not all are shown below). Resultant Force for Anchor and Generic Support for each load case is computed by combing the forces from Global X, Y and Z directions. Similarly, Resultant Moment for Anchor and Generic Support for each load case is computed by combining the moments from Global X, Y and Z directions.
On the other hand, the Resultant Force (FR) for Nozzle is computed by combining the forces from Radial (P), y Shear (VL) and z Shear (VC) for each load case. Similarly, the resultant moment (MR) for Nozzle is computed by combining the moments from Torque (MT), Circ. Mom (MC) and Long. Mom (ML) for each load case.

The supports at which a load summary is available can be shown by clicking on the Other Supports button (immediately to the left of the left white arrow button). Select the support from the list of available supports.


Here, support load summaries are available for the four supports shown. Summaries may be included in the “Print to file” option (in addition to inclusion in formatted reports).
To clearly show the direction of each limit stop among multiple limit stops at the same node, the direction is shown alongside the limit stop (see node 60 below).

Note:
For Time History load case, CAEPIPE will find Signed Forces and/or Moments with Maximum Absolute Magnitude under Support Loads at a particular node as shown below and add the same along with its sign to other load cases such as Sustained, Operating, etc. in the Support Load Summary results.
