    Support Results grids local direction should be user friendly and consistent

    Open the results grids, select the support tab, and locate the columns for LocalDir1 - Gap3. Quick what does this refer to: pipe local axis, support local axis? Is this direction consistent across all of the support types (see attached image of Su...

    Reference point - nonsymmetric allowable

    Reference point is great tool to verify connector capacity. Currently only symmetric allowable values could be used. Many times connectors allowable loads are nonsymmetric ex. range of values -80 to 0kN or -150 to 350kNm. See attached image. It wo...

    Add features to include Type A/B fitting pressure factor for En13480 piping code

    Add options into application that accommodates En13480 table A.2 specification for all fittings per En10253 requirements to define pressure factors to be applied to fittings of Type A and wall thickness requirements of fittings of Type B. Add opti...

    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...

    Component Level FRS

    Similar to the attached PIPESTRESS Amplified Spectrum Generator, add a post-processing tool to AutoPIPE that can generate FRS at any node in the model (i.e., component-level FRS). This is useful when a small branch is decoupled from a large model ...

    Add API 661 allowables to rotating equipment

    Provide user ability to insert cooler nozzle allowables per API 661. This would help with cooler orientation and no longer require user to look up allowable values each time. Provide a multiplier allowable (i.e. 2x 3x API limits)

    Add ability to insert support breakaway based on Friction load

    Some manufacturer components define breakaway behavior based on applied load exceeding a specified friction force, rather than through a stiffness-based definition. After breakaway occurs, the component moves to a new position without any restorin...

    Piping comparison feature

    When systems are revised it would be useful if a user could import new files from designers and see them directly on top of existing systems. This would allow a user to be able to visually see and measure changes. Updated files can be imported but...

    Add ability to group analysis sets which represent different analysis cases

    Piping Stress, Pipe Support, and Foundation load generation require different analysis conditions using different seismic loads to meet differing code requirements. Currently, this is difficult to manage in the same autopipe file as users may have...

    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...
