When comparing different fittings, bend radii, tee types, tee dimensions, etc it would be good to be able to see the different SIFs that result from the inputs. If you have an overstress at a joint or bend and you want to consider changes to reduc...

This functionality would be very advantageous for post-processing results. I currently have scripts that use the 3D DGN file, with 3D solid graphics disabled, and the SQLite database containing both input data and results for post-processing and e...

AutoPIPE has a View> Display Axis> Local Axis command to toggles the local axes coordinate system on and off. Arrow colors are the same as global axis (X = Blue, Y = Red, Z = Green). The symbol is drawn on the midpoint of the component. Exte...

Valve's surface area factor should be used while applying wind loading.

There is a similar idea submitted titled " Rotate command should update Anchor translational and rotational stiffness components " that could be packaged with this idea. The Rotate command should have a selectable option to apply the specified rot...

Currently, the previously selected Displacement animation settings are not saved to either the model's database or the user's profile. Each time the Displacement command (Results > Interactive > Displacement) is used, AutoPIPE reverts to its...

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 ...

Most analysis software's have some method of leaving notes throughout created models. When it comes to completing QC/QA checks of piping models, it would be quite useful to have a notes section either overall for the model or for each component/no...

Currently all time history results are printed in global axis. Suggest adding an option to print all Time History results (ex. Acceleration) using local pipe axis.

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...
