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.

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...

When modelling GRP piping to ISO 14692 be able to add metal pipe sections

Design to ISO 14692 does not allow metal pipe properties to be applied. When GRP piping joins to metal piping we want the model to include the stiffness and thermal expansion of the metal piping. No requirement to work out the code stress in the m...

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...

Provide button to run analysis when it detects outdated results

Currently, AutoPIPE warns the user when it detects outdated results when the user tries to open the Results Grid. Instead of just warning the user, and deleting the outdated results, why doesn't AutoPIPE just rerun the analysis, or at least provid...

Upgrade Steam relief to include other gas & liquid relief thrust analysis

Currently The Loads > Steam Relief > Steam Relief command enables the user to define the thrust loads at steam exit points due to a discharge through a safety relief valve. Add ability for program to analyze other gas & liquid relief val...
