AutoPIPE Pipe Stress

Snow loading acc. to EN 1991-1-3 (Snow)

In the European Union we design acc. to EN 1991-1-3 (Snow), hence it would be nice if snow load are implemented as in other pipe stress analysis programs.

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.

Export 3D DGN and SQLite Database Through the API

This functionality would be very advantageous for post-processing results. I currently have scripts that use the 3D DGN file, with 3D solid graphics disabled, and the SQLite database containing both input data and results for post-processing and e...

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 ...

Request for API Support to Capture Model Snapshots in AutoPIPE

Can AutoPIPE provide a programmatic interface (via Python, VBA, or any other API) to automatically capture graphical snapshots or view-specific images from the model environment? This would greatly enhance reporting and documentation workflows, es...

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...

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.

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.

Allow load combination re-sorting or insert

In the load combination options, users can custom define loads. The combination ordering is specific to the entries - the rows at the bottom can use previous combinations above, but not v/v. AutoPIPE generates an error if a load case tries to refe...
