As per section 5.4.6.8 of the DNV ST F101_2021 Version, the LCC calculation is modified by including the plastic moment reduction factor due to the maximum vertical point load. This would be a good approach to have more realistic and reliable LCC ...

Pls add ASME B31.9 Code.

ASME released ASME NM.1 for thermoplastic piping systems. It is handy for stress analysis of plastic pipes (PVC, CPVC, HDPE. PE, ...) compared to ASME B31.3. It will be beneficial if Autopipe includes this code as an option for analysis.

The code allows you to reduce the SSIs based on more applicable data. Currently, AutoPIPE only lets you use SSI = 0.75SIF or SSI=1. ASME B31J allows you to reduce the SSI based on the following: Where sustained stress or moment factors are require...

Last specified update of AutoPipe got only EN 13480 +A4:2021 Our clients asks to use latests revisions (as of now - 2024.08.09) in our projects. According to EN list there should be EN 13480 +A5:2022 (edited data, originally got wrong list of code...

If the material is listed in the code (B31.3) shouldn't it be in list of materials in the software and also have the same temperature range

This would save time with setting up wind loads, anyone designing in australia would benefit. Competitors software already has this

At present, the pipeline stress calculation specification is selected as the American standard, whether it is considered to refer to the Chinese standard DL/T 5366-2014. If there is no reference to this standard, then please ask whether this stand...
