The combination method for the default ASME B31.1 occasional code combinations is absolute sum. Per ASME B31.1 para 104.8.4(b), if the method of analysis for occasional loads is such that only the force and moment magnitudes without relative algeb...

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...

For EN 13445, we prefer the butt weld with a relieve groove. However, some times it is needed to have the tubes as close to the shell as possible. For welded tubes to tubesheet, you can get closer to the shell with an angle type weld between the t...

At the moment it is only possible to add a boot configuration on bottom paret of the vessels. However there are a lot of vessles that is is required to add a nozzle with head ath the end - like a boot but on the oposite side of the shell.

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...

For a point (say A00) , I would like to obtain the local coordinate system as unit vectors, such as: Local X direction = [Xx, Xy, Xz]Local Y direction = [Yx, Yy, Yz]Local Z direction = [Zx, Zy, Zz] I am also interested in exporting this informatio...

Result Grid provide a resultant value for the loads in the X, Y, and Z directions. Would it be possible to calculate the angle of the resultant vector in the X, Y, and Z directions?

AutoPIPE's TTA module does not consider steam as a content for evaluation. Add feature to conder Steam filed piping.

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...

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 ...
