AutoPIPE Pipe Stress

Showing 140 of 142

Consider the external pressure for ASME B31.8 / B31.4 offshore

As a subsea engineer using AutoPipe for modelling spools and jumpers, it is frustrating and misleading that AutoPipe does not account automatically for external pressure in all codes.

支架选择中增加固定支架选项

管系应力分析计算时，经常需要设置固定支架，该支架承受垂直、水平、径向三个方向（即轴系中 xyz三向）的 力，且此处三向位移均约束 0。现有支架选项只能通过滑动支架+限位支架组合实现该功能。但是计算结果输出到路草支吊架软件时，会自动视别 为两个支架。

Multiple Ambient Temps for Hot Tie-in Case

Does any means exist to enter multiple ambient temperatures for piping? For example: Case 1: Header with tie-in valve operating at 375F. Will fit up proposed piping at 70F to tie-in valve in hot position. After tie-in valve is open header remains ...

Add API 661 allowables to rotating equipment

Provide user ability to insert cooler nozzle allowables per API 661. This would help with cooler orientation and no longer require user to look up allowable values each time. Provide a multiplier allowable (i.e. 2x 3x API limits)

Reference point - nonsymmetric allowable

Reference point is great tool to verify connector capacity. Currently only symmetric allowable values could be used. Many times connectors allowable loads are nonsymmetric ex. range of values -80 to 0kN or -150 to 350kNm. See attached image. It wo...

Exporting .DGN of Code Stresses Color Graphics

Adding an option to export the Code Stresses Color Graphics in .DGN format? The user can utilize this feature to present the code stresses in a more visual way during the Navisworks model walk-throughs with the clients.

Include option to extract displacement results (at node points) in local axes

Nodal displacement results in local axes would be immensely useful. I use AutoPIPE for onshore pipelines which are not straight & reviewing the displacement locally is often needed.

Add Node/Support point text leader lines

When using AutoPIPE or relating an output report to a model, users need to be able to clearly read the indicated text on screen / screen shot added into an report. This is not easy in congested areas with how AutoPIPE currently displays informatio...

Apply wind Shape factor to pipe properties instead of everything as it varies due to geometry in AS1170.2

You currently only have 1 place to input the Wind shape factor and this is applied to all pipes but the value is different for each diameter in Accordance with AS1170.2. This value could be input in the pipe properties for individual pipe sizes, t...

Wind Load calculator for AS1170.2 for Australia

This would save time with setting up wind loads, anyone designing in australia would benefit. Competitors software already has this
