The main tasks of ROHR2 are component analysis, construction and structural analysis of complex piping
systems and associated steel structures.
The static analysis includes the analysis of any The dynamic analysis includes the calculation of
loads and load combinations according to first and eigen values and mode shapes and their analysis

Time - History.
An efficient superposition module enables a versatile selection and combination of static and dynamic
results as well as the generation of extreme values for loads on supports, components and nozzles.
Stress analyses of pipe components can be done by in accordance with a variety of specifications like
ASME, EN, ISO14692, KTA, CODETI or RCCM.
ROHR2 creates the load case superposition and the equations automatically according to the selected
stress specification.
ROHR2 compares existing and allowable stresses. The results will be documented in lists and graphical
presentations. The range of applications is completed by internal pressure analysis and flange and nozzle
calculation modules.
The software may be extended by a range of additional features and add on modules, enhancing an

6 Software Services
developed
ROHR2 continuously analysis
software
Updating the software by periodical releases is an essential component of the maintenance agreement.
The software is developed continuously in order to incorporate the ongoing changes in the stress
calculation codes and norms, but also to improve the user interface and extend the capabilities of ROHR2
according to the users needs. The material and component databases are regularly extended and
adapted to include upcoming changes in specifications. The technical regulations for the calculation of
pipes are subject to a permanent change. These changes are monitored by our development team and
implemented in the program system ROHR2 in a timely manner. Updates are available via internet
download.
This assures the user of ROHR2 that the software always is updated to most recent editions and changes
of the codes which is required by the legislator of the current norms and laws.
The technical development in software programming as well as the adaption to technical prerequisites,
such as operating systems, are also considered and part of the update service. This ensures a long-term
safeguarding of the investment of soft- and hardware.
