The Case World (CASWL) is a member of World in the Properties hierarchy and is an administrative element used to keep all Case data together.
Below CASWL come two elements, Case (CASE) and Case Type (CAST). CASE may be directly below CASWL or may come under CAST.
CAST is an administrative element to further group cases if there are several of them and they can be split into case types.
A Case has of a number of attributes which describe different conditions to which a pipe is subjected. For every ‘run’ of a pipe there may be a number of ‘cases’.
CASE has the following attributes:
|

|
NAME |

|
LOCK |
|
|
OWNE |
|
|
WEFA |
(weight factor) |
|
WPRE |
(wind pressure) |
|
WIFA |
(wind factor) |
|
IPRE |
(internal pressure) |
|
RPRE |
(reference pressure) |
|
PTEM |
(pipe temperature) |
|
RTEM |
(reference temperature) |
|
TGRA |
(temperature gradient) |
|
SHOC |
(shock load vector) |
|
APPL |
(application) |
The attributes WEFA, WPRE, WIFA, IPRE, RPRE, PTEM, RTEM and TGRA are all real numbers; SHOC is a 3-element real array; APPL is a 20-character text string.
