Pipe Pressure

Pipe is generally used for transfer the fluid from one point to another. These fluid exert some pressure on pipe. This is called generally internal pressure. In some region, where we have to deal with snow region or water zone like ocean. In this region, there is generated external pressure, which try to compress the pipe.

In ANSYS, this boundary condition is applied only to pipe in the form of line bodies. This is very useful for pipe design and pipe stress analysis.
