Add climatic loads calculators according to Eurocode 1

It'l be very helpful, especialy when analyses acc. to EN 13480-3 are performed, to add to AutoPIPE calculator of wind loads acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Eurocode 1) and calculator of snow loads acc. to EN 1991-1-3 (Eurocode 1).

Add the capability to analyse multiple piping codes in a single model

Whilst using AutoPIPE Nuclear to assess pipework to ASME III, the models included different regions of pipework that were required to be assessed to ASME III Class 1 and Class 2 respectively. As it is not possible to assess to two different piping...

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 ...

Include ability to override in plane and out of plane Sustain Stress Indices (SSI) in User SIF dialog

The code allows you to reduce the SSIs based on more applicable data. Currently, AutoPIPE only lets you use SSI = 0.75SIF or SSI=1. ASME B31J allows you to reduce the SSI based on the following: Where sustained stress or moment factors are require...

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 ...

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...
