Rotate command should update Anchor translational and rotational stiffness components
When an Anchor support is rotated using the Rotate command in AutoPIPE, the translational and rotational stiffness components do not update to reflect the new orientation. This leads to stiffness being applied in the wrong directions relative to t...
Add new support type for wall and roof penetrations
We typically model wall and roof penetrations as guides with clearance gaps of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 inches in all directions. These modeled clearances are then used to verify load transfer and confirm that the gaps are adequate at each penetra...
Currently, for U-Tube, to reduce the distance between passes, with keeping the minimum radius of bends, AutoPIpe Vessel handles 3 types of Cross Tubes, this additional type could be considered: slanted inner rows (see attached file)
Request for Enhancement of NTL Batch Processing for Buried Pipe Analysis
Dear AutoPIPE Development Team, We are currently working on a high-level automation of piping stress analysis using the AutoPIPE NTL batch processing format. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of buried pipe analysis via batch input, we would ...
When a tee/branch has been modeled in a straight run of pipe and a new data point is needed Before the branch point, AutoPIPE now breaks the downstream segment of the straight pipe run (user must agree to proceed in pop-up dialog box). This create...
Add design margins to piping loads being sent to structural
When it comes to exporting pipe support loads from AutoPIPE to STAAD, PipeLINK is an effective tool. While PipeLINK has most of the necessary functionality, there is a lack in the ability to add a Design Margin to the pipe support loads sent from ...
