    Add TOTAL RUN TIME FEATURE/LOG to AutoPIPE Analyses

    For large AutoPIPE analyses especially, it would be VERY helpful to know how long an AutoPIPE analysis took to run! I think the a log file with the time stamp, what analyses were run, and the total run time would probably be the best option. A pop...

    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...

    Add Cut-shorts to View Settings/Scale Factors

    Users cannot change the size of cut-short symbol. The cut-short symbol is drawn proportional to the pipe OD while in single line mode. It sometimes looks too big or too small.

    Report Sign-Max for Support and Restraint in Results

    It would be very handy for AutoPIPE to report the maximum loading for all load cases for reporting to the structural engineer or equipment manufacturers.

    Add China Electric Power industry standard DL/T 5366

    At present, the pipeline stress calculation specification is selected as the American standard, whether it is considered to refer to the Chinese standard DL/T 5366-2014. If there is no reference to this standard, then please ask whether this stand...

    Add the plastic moment reduction factor criteria for the LCC calculation

    As per section 5.4.6.8 of the DNV ST F101_2021 Version, the LCC calculation is modified by including the plastic moment reduction factor due to the maximum vertical point load. This would be a good approach to have more realistic and reliable LCC ...

    Include ability to override in plane and out of plane Sustain Stress Indices (SSI) in User SIF dialog

    The code allows you to reduce the SSIs based on more applicable data. Currently, AutoPIPE only lets you use SSI = 0.75SIF or SSI=1. ASME B31J allows you to reduce the SSI based on the following: Where sustained stress or moment factors are require...

    Display response spectrum acceleration results using the 'interactive' results viewer (showing deformed model and acceleration values)

    The AutoPIPE 'interactive" menu has a way to display displacement results and filter results. Presently, the acceleration results in a response spectrum analysis are only viewable from the text result files or excel reports. Having a GUI accelera...
