    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 filter features to Results Grids interface

    Suggest, the following: List all filters in header section of the Results Grids (see attached screen shot). Retain filter settings to be reused when the Results Grids command is used again. Easy means of removing one or all current filter se...

    Allow gap supports with response spectra analysis

    Response spectrum analysis is a static equivalent linear analysis to a dynamic earthquake event. AutoPIPE allows the use of V-Stops with gaps for static analysis. The condition of the gap closure and subsequent support loading is determined by eva...

    Add Node Annotations to stress isometric

    AutoPIPE's Node Annotations (Insert > Node Annotations) are not able to be printed on a Stress Isometric. Using the "save isometric drawning" prompt, we have the option to isert annotations (but it's not a good way to do it), and it's not relat...

    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.

    Allow load combination re-sorting or insert

    In the load combination options, users can custom define loads. The combination ordering is specific to the entries - the rows at the bottom can use previous combinations above, but not v/v. AutoPIPE generates an error if a load case tries to refe...

    Angle measurement

    It is important to know not only the distance between the two points but also the angle of the pipe with respect to the coordinate axes during creating and modifying a model. I would like you to add another item to the Tools menu called Angle Meas...

    Increase tag length or remove the restriction altogether (like Caesar II)

    The current max length of tags is 36 characters. Tag is meanwhile just about the only play where we can save some element-specific information. For example in the case of a Support I would like to save AT LEAST the following:1) The designation of ...

    Multiple Ambient Temps for Hot Tie-in Case

    Does any means exist to enter multiple ambient temperatures for piping? For example: Case 1: Header with tie-in valve operating at 375F. Will fit up proposed piping at 70F to tie-in valve in hot position. After tie-in valve is open header remains ...

    Convert Global Analysis Results to Local Axis through Batch Generator

    Converting the analysis results of a model that is in the global axis to the local axis from the batch generator can be very convenient and ideal for automation. If I wanted to run, say, a Python file that calls the batch generator to run analysis...
