PDMS vs PipeSupportWideFlange Usage & Stats

Apps for design and validate of WideFlange Pipe Support, elevated piping need to to be supported to reduce pipe spanning and stress in the pipe. Program consider combination of Gravity load (Steel self weight, Pipe weight, Operating liquid load, Hydrotest load), Thermal load, Wind load and provision to include Seismic load. Design use AISC ASD 9th edition 1989 Code, increment 33% of allowable stress for short term load is consider in the design. User could customize size, column angle orientation (0 degree or 90 degrees), load and design parameter to suit the project, the program have function to compile the Calculation Report and send it through email. Format of the Report is suitable for standard miscellaneous structure design calculation. Two available option of design unit : Metric kN-m or Imperial kips-ft.
