CSiPlant Import of BOSpulse Piping Pulsation Loads
With cooperation from Dynaflow Research Group BV (DRG), CSI has developed a CSiPlant import of piping pulsation loads from reciprocating equipment generated from DRG’s BOSpulse software which uses API 618 and API 674 guidelines. The CSiPlant BOSpulse import is unique in that it generates sinusoidal time history functions for the pulsation loads which can be analyzed as nonlinear time history cases to account for friction, gaps, and P-delta effects. Energy dissipation devices may be included in the model using CSiPlant’s damper support or damper link elements. See CSiPlant Help menu>Documentation>Documents>Import>BOSpulse Loads import manual for detailed instructions.
