If increasing the length of point names to 5 or six letters is too hard, I suggest allowing the use of small letters aa to zz. This will increase the number of segments and number of nodes by 4 times to about 2800 segments and 40,000 nodes.

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.

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 ...

For wind loading ASCE-7-22 needs to be added in selection list. This is the latest standard and client design basis is demanding to use latest standard.

Add manufacturer library to select for SIF's to populate to meet B31.J as per B31.3 2020

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
