Add the units back to column headers for wind profiles

In previous versions of Autopipe, on wind profiles, the units for the various columns were listed with the column headers. In V25, these have been removed. There are other ways to confirm the units being used, but they take a bit of work to dig in...

Convert Global Analysis Results to Local Axis through Batch Generator

Converting the analysis results of a model that is in the global axis to the local axis from the batch generator can be very convenient and ideal for automation. If I wanted to run, say, a Python file that calls the batch generator to run analysis...

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...

Increase the total number of segments allowed in a model

After inserting segment ZZ, AutoPIPE will create blank segment names as showing in the attached. Suggest to increase the number of segments beyond A to ZZ segments. Workaround: Reorder the segments to capture previously deleted segments. However t...

Reuse segment names that have been deleted in creating new segments

Renumbering or reordering a model is not always an options for a variety of reasons. Add an option in AutoPIPE to automatically reuse or recycle previously used segment names when generating new segments. Example: If after adding segment AC, segme...

Please modify the latest version of Autopipe so that it exports a PST file.

The pst file is used to automate the preparation of the thermal stress calculation sheet and the support design condition sheet. However, it cannot be used if the version of autopipe is upgraded. Your company's policy is to invalidate assets that ...

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.

We would like the ability to compare two AutoPIPE models against each other for the purpose to locating changes as new models are created.

Our current work process is to receive PCF's from the 3D design model, translate, analysis and suggest changes if needed to the design team, then repeat as the 3D model changes. Currently the only way to see design changes is to visually search th...

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.
