Correct scale of supports located on valve actuator

AutoPIPE deals with a valve actuator as a rigid beam. The default size for the rigid beam is set as a 10x10 W shape, and any support connected to the actuator is scaled according to that number (see attached image) Request actuator and any support...

Piping comparison feature

When systems are revised it would be useful if a user could import new files from designers and see them directly on top of existing systems. This would allow a user to be able to visually see and measure changes. Updated files can be imported but...

When modelling GRP piping to ISO 14692 be able to add metal pipe sections

Design to ISO 14692 does not allow metal pipe properties to be applied. When GRP piping joins to metal piping we want the model to include the stiffness and thermal expansion of the metal piping. No requirement to work out the code stress in the m...

Add Feature to Allow Specific Gravity to be Changed for Different P/T Cases

At the moment, specific gravity is entered under Pipe Properties and cannot be changed for different pressure/temperature load cases. If there are different load cases, where a section of the model may be filled with water in Case 1 but filled wit...

Add colour mapped view according Line Number assigned to segments

In the project assessment phase it is necessary to compare if the model is in accordance with P&ID schematics. Presentation with colors assigned to Line Numbers would be VERY helpful in this task.

Tangent Elbows

Hi - is there a way to include consecutive elbows or bends in AutoPIPE? We have a model with back to back elbows and the model does not render the geometry well. Second, it appears that the Elbow forum is missing previous pages. Is Bentley still w...

Update Coincident Node Check report to include Beam points

Currently, coincident node check report only returns results for pipes nodes that are within the specified tolerance distance to another pipe node point. Suggest report also include Beam points with specified tolerance distance of other Beam point...

Import Caesar II model

I would like to import a Caesar II model. However, I was not able to. I asked for Bentley's tech support help, but I was directed to look at 'Import a Caesar II Neutral (CII) File' from AutoPIPE's help. It is just a general guide. There were a few...
