    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.

    Adding a calculation module acc. to EN 13445 in AutoPIPE Nozzle/Vessel

    When analyzing nozzle loads acc. to EN 13445 designed vessels.

    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...

    Limit License selection to what is available to the account

    On the configuration dialog, the user is given the option to select a number of different editions of AutoPIPE: Standard, Advanced, Nuclear. Suggest to grey out options that are not available to the account. Example: Account only has AutoPIPE Stan...

    Add Node Annotations to stress isometric

    AutoPIPE's Node Annotations (Insert > Node Annotations) are not able to be printed on a Stress Isometric. Using the "save isometric drawning" prompt, we have the option to isert annotations (but it's not a good way to do it), and it's not relat...

    Wind load acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind)

    In the European Union we design wind loads acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind), hence it would be nice if wind loads are implemented as in other pipe stress analysis programs.

    Evaluate ASME B16.5/47 flanges per ASME BPVC VIII-1 UG-44(b)

    ASME B31.3-2022 F312 FLANGED JOINTS suggests using UG-44(b) "for qualifying piping external loadings on welding neck flanges". UG-44(b) is a modification of the very conservative equivalent pressure method.

    Insert 2 node points when a flange is inserted, to allow the user to set the BW SIF

    By default, when you insert a WN or Lap Joint flange in Autopipe, it does not account for SIF at the BW joint. User has to enter an additional node point at a flange length and define a Joint Type with a defined offset. This could be automated.

    Add EN13941 functionality

    New Oil and Gas projects may dry up as more countries set their sights on net zero. Along with this there is currently a massive increase in the number of large scale district heating systems in both Europe and North America. Adding EN13941 functi...

    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 ...
