START-PROF can carry out stress analysis according to various codes which regulate:
combination of loads and forces on the piping for strength analysis;
calculation of stress;
strength criteria.
Selecting the code for the analysis is up to the user, and can be done by inputting it in Project Settings. See also Code Stress Table
