    PCF Import: Automatically remove flanges inserted between two Flanged Valves

    When importing a PCF file with back to back valves, additional flanges are inserted between these vales as shown in attached image. PCF translator should not insert additional flanges if flanged valves are modeled back to back.

    Remove automatic segment split

    When a tee/branch has been modeled in a straight run of pipe and a new data point is needed Before the branch point, AutoPIPE now breaks the downstream segment of the straight pipe run (user must agree to proceed in pop-up dialog box). This create...

    Rotate command should update Anchor translational and rotational stiffness components

    When an Anchor support is rotated using the Rotate command in AutoPIPE, the translational and rotational stiffness components do not update to reflect the new orientation. This leads to stiffness being applied in the wrong directions relative to t...

    Add new support type for wall and roof penetrations

    We typically model wall and roof penetrations as guides with clearance gaps of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 inches in all directions. These modeled clearances are then used to verify load transfer and confirm that the gaps are adequate at each penetra...

    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...

    When I change the piping, the beams don't follow. It would be great if the beams moved along with the piping, it would save me time redoing it.

    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.
