    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...

    speed up the analysis of large model

    large dimension model have a big problem in velocity, particulary with dinamic, for the very old architecture of the software. Some common ideas: multi core implementation (a must, in my opinion) 64bit use of library for graphic cards a benchmark ...

    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...

    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...

    Add Victaulic fitting

    AutoPIPE can model a Victaulic fitting using a number of approach mentioned here . However this is a very difficult and demanding process. Not to mention, that in some case there are converging issues related to multiple Flexible joints on connect...

    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...

    Increase allowable number of internal data points from 10,000 to 100,000 or more

    AutoPIPE's analysis is blocked if total number of points (piping points+ soil points + frame nodes) is greater than 10,000. Suggest to increase the limit number of node points from 10,000 to 100,000 or more.

    Support Detail Fig # and Allowable Support Load Ratings

    Ensuring support info (gaps, friction, stiffness) is correct and reviewing support results are some of the more time consuming tasks. It would be very handy to be able to set up a library of support detail figure numbers with allowable load ratings.
    Sean Pellerin about 4 years ago in AutoPIPE Pipe Stress 0 Future consideration

    Please modify the latest version of Autopipe so that it exports a PST file.

    The pst file is used to automate the preparation of the thermal stress calculation sheet and the support design condition sheet. However, it cannot be used if the version of autopipe is upgraded. Your company's policy is to invalidate assets that ...
