Detailed radial deformations (NEN 3650) [RDPLNEN]
Contents
List of detailed radial deformations of pipe wall over the circumference of the cross-section (Output Table)
Table description:
The output data table RDPLNEN provides a list of detailed radial deformations over the circumference of the cross-section where calculations have been performed.
The deformations are given in 48 equidistant points over the circumference of the cross-section (each 7.5 degrees) starting at the intersection of the horizontal y-axis of the element coordinate system and the cross-section.
The deformations are the result of the ovalisation of the cross-section by soil loadings and reactions caused by the overall behaviour of the pipeline and the ring behaviour of the cross-section.
The table relates to the data on the last data line of the maximum radial deformation table RMAXNEN.
Five data may appear in the table heading:
•number of element in which deformations have been calculated
•loadcase name
•line number of tables CSGEN/CSLOAD containing basic data for section calculations
•indication that deformation redistribution has been applied
•phase number, if applicable.
