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 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...

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...

Flexible Joint Step Function Stiffness

Looking for an update to flex coupling input box to better model flexible coupling behavior. Flexible joint additional inputs (see attached) 1) Max angle of deflection for flex joint 2) Two stiffness inputs for bending stiffness. Stiffness changes...

Add ability to insert support breakaway based on Friction load

Some manufacturer components define breakaway behavior based on applied load exceeding a specified friction force, rather than through a stiffness-based definition. After breakaway occurs, the component moves to a new position without any restorin...

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...

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...

Increase precision of incline support phase inputs for imperial units

When modeling incline supports using the “Ultimate Force Gap” option, AutoPIPE currently limits the “Phase for K1” input field to 2 decimal places. This makes modeling low-friction / anti-vibration clamp supports, such as Wood VDN clamps not possi...

Add Victaulic fitting

AutoPIPE can model a Victaulic fitting using a number of approach mentioned here . However this is a very difficult and demanding process. Not to mention, that in some case there are converging issues related to multiple Flexible joints on connect...
