    Add friction scale factor to main analysis set input, as in ignore friction for GR

    Very often it is required to perform analysis with and without friction for operating cases. Having the friction scale factor shown will help see these cases without opening the iterations screen.

    Include Snow and Ice Loads in Spring/Hanger Selection Calculations

    Currently, AutoPIPE allows snow loads to be applied for stress analysis; however, snow and ice loads are not automatically considered during spring and hanger selection. An enhancement would be to provide an option for including snow and ice loads...

    Notes

    Most analysis software's have some method of leaving notes throughout created models. When it comes to completing QC/QA checks of piping models, it would be quite useful to have a notes section either overall for the model or for each component/no...

    Add design margins to piping loads being sent to structural

    When it comes to exporting pipe support loads from AutoPIPE to STAAD, PipeLINK is an effective tool. While PipeLINK has most of the necessary functionality, there is a lack in the ability to add a Design Margin to the pipe support loads sent from ...

    Add new support type for wall and roof penetrations

    We typically model wall and roof penetrations as guides with clearance gaps of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 inches in all directions. These modeled clearances are then used to verify load transfer and confirm that the gaps are adequate at each penetra...

    Support Report: Remove all global results from Local columns

    For V-stops and Hanger support types, the Support report prints global values as local values. Example, see attached image. Notice the Global axis direction is different from the indicated pipe's local axis direction. Next notice the support's Loc...

    Rotate command should update Anchor translational and rotational stiffness components

    When an Anchor support is rotated using the Rotate command in AutoPIPE, the translational and rotational stiffness components do not update to reflect the new orientation. This leads to stiffness being applied in the wrong directions relative to t...

    Add Snow and Ice load to structural and pipe members

    Snow loads should be considered in the GR load case during analysis and design for static seismic loads, to account for the contribution of snow mass to horizontal seismic inertia forces.
