    Add Cold Load Design global option to Hanger dialog

    The Support dialog window and the Input Grid Support tab currently have the option to turn on/off Cold Load Design. The request is to supplement these two with a global override, by adding a Cold Load Design global option to the Hanger dialog wind...

    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 ...

    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.

    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 ...

    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...

    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...

    Add ability to group analysis sets which represent different analysis cases

    Piping Stress, Pipe Support, and Foundation load generation require different analysis conditions using different seismic loads to meet differing code requirements. Currently, this is difficult to manage in the same autopipe file as users may have...

    Add API 661 allowables to rotating equipment

    Provide user ability to insert cooler nozzle allowables per API 661. This would help with cooler orientation and no longer require user to look up allowable values each time. Provide a multiplier allowable (i.e. 2x 3x API limits)

    Add features to include Type A/B fitting pressure factor for En13480 piping code

    Add options into application that accommodates En13480 table A.2 specification for all fittings per En10253 requirements to define pressure factors to be applied to fittings of Type A and wall thickness requirements of fittings of Type B. Add opti...
