Abstract: The APA software has the capability of the nuclear piping stress analysis and assessment, and the ANSYS finite element analysis software has the capability of piping stress computation. Taking a nuclear piping system class 2 of a nuclear power plant as analysis model, the stress computations of various load condition were accomplished. According to the RCCM codes, the stress assess was carried out, and the maximum stress, the stress rate and the support reaction of each pipe supporter and hanger under static load and dynamic load were obtained.

Key words: APA (Arevea Piping Addon) software, nuclear piping system, mechanical analysis, computation
