    TTA Heat Transfer Film coefficient for regions where turbulent flow is not fully established/developed.

    Re: ASME NB-3600 analysis: Does the AutoPipe Nuclear TTA module calculate the heat transfer film coefficient for water using only the Dittus-Boelter method? For circumstances where turbulent flow isn’t fully developed, i.e. within 10D of a bend, h...

    Add ability to analyze multiple Analysis set at the same time

    Currently AutoPIPE analyzes analysis sets one at a time. Between each analysis set the application writes the results of the analysis from the cache temp folder to the model folder. Models containing multiple analysis can take an extended period o...

    Increase precision of incline support phase inputs for imperial units

    When modeling incline supports using the “Ultimate Force Gap” option, AutoPIPE currently limits the “Phase for K1” input field to 2 decimal places. This makes modeling low-friction / anti-vibration clamp supports, such as Wood VDN clamps not possi...

    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...

    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 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.
