    Add input for support seismic load multipliers based on ASCE 7-22

    In ASCE 7-22 Table 13.6-1, stress calculations and support load calculations use different CAR and Rp factors. To support this requirement, add an option under Member Earthquake Scale Factors that allows users to define separate seismic scale fact...

    Add friction scale factor to main analysis set input, as in ignore friction for GR

    Very often it is required to perform analysis with and without friction for operating cases. Having the friction scale factor shown will help see these cases without opening the iterations screen.

    Include Snow and Ice Loads in Spring/Hanger Selection Calculations

    Currently, AutoPIPE allows snow loads to be applied for stress analysis; however, snow and ice loads are not automatically considered during spring and hanger selection. An enhancement would be to provide an option for including snow and ice loads...

    Export 3D DGN and SQLite Database Through the API

    This functionality would be very advantageous for post-processing results. I currently have scripts that use the 3D DGN file, with 3D solid graphics disabled, and the SQLite database containing both input data and results for post-processing and e...

    Show bend or tee SIFs when modelling them

    When comparing different fittings, bend radii, tee types, tee dimensions, etc it would be good to be able to see the different SIFs that result from the inputs. If you have an overstress at a joint or bend and you want to consider changes to reduc...

    Add local axis arrows for Beams

    AutoPIPE has a View> Display Axis> Local Axis command to toggles the local axes coordinate system on and off. Arrow colors are the same as global axis (X = Blue, Y = Red, Z = Green). The symbol is drawn on the midpoint of the component. Exte...

    Add option to Rotate command to apply rotation to Anchor thermal displacements

    There is a similar idea submitted titled " Rotate command should update Anchor translational and rotational stiffness components " that could be packaged with this idea. The Rotate command should have a selectable option to apply the specified rot...

    Add new User Profile option to control displacement animation settings

    Currently, the previously selected Displacement animation settings are not saved to either the model's database or the user's profile. Each time the Displacement command (Results > Interactive > Displacement) is used, AutoPIPE reverts to its...

    Notes

    Most analysis software's have some method of leaving notes throughout created models. When it comes to completing QC/QA checks of piping models, it would be quite useful to have a notes section either overall for the model or for each component/no...
