    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.

    Combination Reorganization

    In the screenshot in the attached link, for example, i would like to move the highlighted combinations between LC130 and LC131. Does this make sense? As far as I know, the only way to do this is to duplicate LC131 to LC148 and then delete them. Li...

    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...

    Ring Tool - Ability to modify angles in the Ring Tool dialog

    When a user defines custom projections in the Ring Tool dialog, and then realizes they need to add an additional angle, it is not possible. The current method requires the user to clear out the custom angles defined and reenter the custom defined ...

    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.

    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.
