    Evaluate ASME B16.5/47 flanges per ASME BPVC VIII-1 UG-44(b)

    ASME B31.3-2022 F312 FLANGED JOINTS suggests using UG-44(b) "for qualifying piping external loadings on welding neck flanges". UG-44(b) is a modification of the very conservative equivalent pressure method.

    Add a feature to apply impose displacement at any node point regardless of support settings.

    This is to apply at nodes where support is not applied so the user can apply imposed discplacement regardless of support setting.

    Insert 2 node points when a flange is inserted, to allow the user to set the BW SIF

    By default, when you insert a WN or Lap Joint flange in Autopipe, it does not account for SIF at the BW joint. User has to enter an additional node point at a flange length and define a Joint Type with a defined offset. This could be automated.

    Combination Reorganization

    In the screenshot in the attached link, for example, i would like to move the highlighted combinations between LC130 and LC131. Does this make sense? As far as I know, the only way to do this is to duplicate LC131 to LC148 and then delete them. Li...

    Apply wind Shape factor to pipe properties instead of everything as it varies due to geometry in AS1170.2

    You currently only have 1 place to input the Wind shape factor and this is applied to all pipes but the value is different for each diameter in Accordance with AS1170.2. This value could be input in the pipe properties for individual pipe sizes, t...

    Ring Tool - Ability to define Branch Type for each projection angle

    Currently, the Ring Tool is limited to apply all Run Branch types or all Tee Branch Types. Why doesn't the tool allow the user to independently define which nodes need to be tees or runs? See attached screenshot for details.

    Fix the Load Sequencing for Snow Load

    The help file states the following for snow load analysis: Limitation Currently, AutoPIPE only considers snow loading as linear analysis. Load sequencing does not apply to snow loads and such results should not be considered. For analysis sets tha...

    Enable different ambient temperatures for each thermal case

    There is often need to calculate two conservative thermal combinations (lowest possible assembly temperature with highest working temperature and highest assembly temperature with lowest working temperature). Now it is needed to prepare two models...

    Dynamic interface between Autopipe and Openplant

    Currently, the interface between Autopipe and Openplant is disconnected. Users have to manually export piping models to Autopipe, and perform analysis. If changes need to happen in one model, the other model isnt't updated dynamically. Further, th...
