Abstract
NASA computer program aids Hudson Engineering Corporation in design and construction of huge petrochemical processing plants. Pipes handling flow of chemicals are subject to variety of stresses such as weight and variations in pressure and temperature. They use a COSMIC piping flexibility analysis computer program to analyze stresses and insure necessary strength and flexibility of pipes. Program helps company realize substantial savings in reduced engineering time.
