Use AutoPIPE valve weights when importing PCF files

When importing files (such as PCF's) please provide the option to use AutoPIPE valve weights rather than using the weights from the original design tool that created the PCF file. Essentially having the option to automatically enable the "valve wr...

CMB Files keep dropping off after importing

The load combinations keep having to be updated by re-importing the CMB file constantly when doing the analysis. Making the imported CMB files more stable to where the user do not have to keep re-importing them so often would be a good idea to imp...

Add option to enter Specific Gravity of contents referenced to Air instead of Water

The Specific Gravity based on water is not applicable to flow services that are 100% gas. Specific gravity for liquid is weight of liquid with respect to water and specific gravity of gas is weight of gas with respect to air. These 2 fluids are to...

Add ASME Nonmetallic stress allowables to AutoPipe (ASME NM 3.3)

ASME NM.3.3-2020 has Nonmetallic Material Properties (Maximum Allowable Stress Values for thermoplastic (CPVC, PEX, PE, PVC, PVDF), Yield Strength Values, Thermal Expansion Coefficients, Moduli of Elasticity, Poisson's Ratio. This will allow the s...

When modelling GRP piping to ISO 14692 be able to add metal pipe sections

Design to ISO 14692 does not allow metal pipe properties to be applied. When GRP piping joins to metal piping we want the model to include the stiffness and thermal expansion of the metal piping. No requirement to work out the code stress in the m...

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.

Extract system Response Spectra at decoupled connection points

The capability of producing FRS at some points is sometimes needed to analyze small bore branches. Generally, the small bore branches could be decoupled from the headers for seismic analysis, but these lines shall be evaluated separately using the...

ASME Flange Summary to show both Operating and Seating in separate columns

Currently the results summary will show the worst case for the flange. ASME B16.5 flanges combined with spiral wound gaskets will commonly fail the seating condition check with the ASME division 1 checks. This can be ignored provided the operating...

Hydrotest Pressure Extension

Users can decide whether pressure extension should be considered in static analysis sets, but this is not an option for hydrotest cases. The user is required to consider it with no option to unselect "Pressure Extension" in the "Analysis Sets" int...
