    Allow small letters in point names to increase node limit to 40000

    If increasing the length of point names to 5 or six letters is too hard, I suggest allowing the use of small letters aa to zz. This will increase the number of segments and number of nodes by 4 times to about 2800 segments and 40,000 nodes.

    Expansion effects on structural members

    Currently, when structural members/beams are connected to high temp piping, AutoPIPE does not consider the axial expansion effect of the structural members in its analysis. Since AutoPIPE, is capable of evaluating temperature effect of piping, it ...

    Include ASME B16.5 dimensions in EN1591 Flange Analysis

    Currently, the EN1591 flange analysis only includes PN flange dimensions. Theoretically, you could manually input all the dimensions for an ASME flange but that would be extremely tedious to do every time. There is some ambiguity/"looseness" with ...

    Add Snow and Ice load to structural and pipe members

    Snow loads should be considered in the GR load case during analysis and design for static seismic loads, to account for the contribution of snow mass to horizontal seismic inertia forces.

    Update Joint Type SIF Sus Tors Index to read "Auto" instead of "1.00"

    When a Joint type and user SIF are inserted, the Sus Tors. Index value will actually be computed in the post processor. In the meantime, AutoPIPE displays a value of "1.00" in the dialog, which can be misleading for the user. It is recommended to ...

    Add ability to group analysis sets which represent different analysis cases

    Piping Stress, Pipe Support, and Foundation load generation require different analysis conditions using different seismic loads to meet differing code requirements. Currently, this is difficult to manage in the same autopipe file as users may have...

    Add ability to analyze multiple Analysis set at the same time

    Currently AutoPIPE analyzes analysis sets one at a time. Between each analysis set the application writes the results of the analysis from the cache temp folder to the model folder. Models containing multiple analysis can take an extended period o...
