TRIFLEX® Modeling Efficiencies
Users of other piping stress analysis programs
have said that with TRIFLEX® they can throw away
their scratch pad
and their calculator.
See some of the reasons they have given us when
we demonstrated TRIFLEX® for them.

TRIFLEX® Modeling Efficiencies
TRIFLEX® makes a multitude of calculations for
you as follows:
Anchor Movements
 Enter growths of equipment
as anchor movements, or
 Enter equipment Mat’l,
temperature and offsets from
true anchor to nozzle face &
TRIFLEX® calculates growths.

TRIFLEX® Modeling Efficiencies
TRIFLEX® provides Flanges Properties
 Extensive data base of weight &
length properties for these flange types
for numerous flange classes.
 One flange facing forward or
backwards may be entered or a flange
pair can be entered.
 Delta dimensions may be defined to the beginning or end
of the flange or at the mid-point of a flange pair.

Provides Stresses Graphically
Piping Code Stresses
can be displayed with color
indicating magnitude.
Stresses can be displayed
as a percentage of the
allowable stresses.
All Calculated values can
be viewed graphically for
each load case processed.

Provides Stresses in Tabular Form
The Piping Code Compliance Report provides all Allowable
and Calculated Stresses as well as the Percentage of the
Calculated to Allowable Stresses.
Each column in the output reports can easily be sorted to
yield an ascending or descending stress report which can
easily be pasted into Excel or Word or printed out.
