Correction of Gasket Seating Width Calculation in Flange Check (ASME VIII)

Currently, AutoPIPE calculates the gasket seating width (N) using the gasket outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID), N=(Gasket OD-Gasket ID)/2. As per ASME Section VIII (Sketch 1a), the gasket seating width should be calculated based on th...

Add Snow and Ice load to structural and pipe members

Snow loads should be considered in the GR load case during analysis and design for static seismic loads, to account for the contribution of snow mass to horizontal seismic inertia forces.

Component Level FRS

Similar to the attached PIPESTRESS Amplified Spectrum Generator, add a post-processing tool to AutoPIPE that can generate FRS at any node in the model (i.e., component-level FRS). This is useful when a small branch is decoupled from a large model ...

Include ASME B16.5 dimensions in EN1591 Flange Analysis

Currently, the EN1591 flange analysis only includes PN flange dimensions. Theoretically, you could manually input all the dimensions for an ASME flange but that would be extremely tedious to do every time. There is some ambiguity/"looseness" with ...

Reference point - nonsymmetric allowable

Reference point is great tool to verify connector capacity. Currently only symmetric allowable values could be used. Many times connectors allowable loads are nonsymmetric ex. range of values -80 to 0kN or -150 to 350kNm. See attached image. It wo...
