    Flexible Joint Step Function Stiffness

    Looking for an update to flex coupling input box to better model flexible coupling behavior. Flexible joint additional inputs (see attached) 1) Max angle of deflection for flex joint 2) Two stiffness inputs for bending stiffness. Stiffness changes...

    Add the capability to analyse multiple piping codes in a single model

    Whilst using AutoPIPE Nuclear to assess pipework to ASME III, the models included different regions of pipework that were required to be assessed to ASME III Class 1 and Class 2 respectively. As it is not possible to assess to two different piping...

    Remove automatic segment split

    When a tee/branch has been modeled in a straight run of pipe and a new data point is needed Before the branch point, AutoPIPE now breaks the downstream segment of the straight pipe run (user must agree to proceed in pop-up dialog box). This create...

    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 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...

    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 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)

    Release limitation of PIPE ID character length

    Users of a company in Japan name PIPE ID under specific rule in P&ID and 3D-CAD while AutoPIPE has a limitation for PIPE ID's character length as 8 words. So they convert the PIPE ID for AutoPIPE limitation, but there is a possibility that it ...

    Expansion effects on structural members

    Currently, when structural members/beams are connected to high temp piping, AutoPIPE does not consider the axial expansion effect of the structural members in its analysis. Since AutoPIPE, is capable of evaluating temperature effect of piping, it ...

    Add Cold Load Design global option to Hanger dialog

    The Support dialog window and the Input Grid Support tab currently have the option to turn on/off Cold Load Design. The request is to supplement these two with a global override, by adding a Cold Load Design global option to the Hanger dialog wind...
