Indicates that you are supplying environmental load data. Select or clear this option by double-clicking the Wind/Wave check box on the Classic Piping Input dialog box.

This auxiliary panel tab indicates whether this portion of the pipe is exposed to wind or wave loading. The pipe cannot be exposed to both.

Selecting Wind exposes the pipe to wind loading; selecting Wave exposes the pipe to wave, current, and buoyancy loadings; selecting Off turns off both types of loading.

This dialog box tab is also used to specify the Wind Shape Factor when Wind is specified. The dialog box tab is used to specify various wave coefficients when Wave is specified. The software automatically computes the wave coefficients if you leave these boxes blank.

Entries on this auxiliary panel tab apply to all subsequent piping, until changed on a later element.

Specific wind and wave load cases are built using the Static Load Case Editor.
