    This document describes the process for designing and analyzing a piping system to ASME NB Class 1 criteria in AutoPIPE. It involves defining model geometry and materials, performing a thermal transient analysis to determine thermal loads, running static and dynamic analyses, defining stress summaries for different service levels, and reviewing stresses on screen and in reports to verify code compliance. Key steps include defining Class 1 components, loadings, joint types, ovality, stress summaries, and reviewing pre-verification and full verification stresses.

    The flowchart below describes the ASME NB design and analysis process. For code years
    after 1995 the rules for dealing with the ratchet stress check changed and it became
    necessary for all load set pairs to be considered not just failed ones. The difference is
    indicated by different colored routes blue for Pre 1995 and green for Post 1995. Only Level
    A service limits are shown.
    Model geometry, confirm all
    piping components and pipe
    conform to permissible ASME NB
    standards.
