When modeling incline supports using the “Ultimate Force Gap” option, AutoPIPE currently limits the “Phase for K1” input field to 2 decimal places. This makes modeling low-friction / anti-vibration clamp supports, such as Wood VDN clamps not possi...

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...

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...

Some manufacturer components define breakaway behavior based on applied load exceeding a specified friction force, rather than through a stiffness-based definition. After breakaway occurs, the component moves to a new position without any restorin...

Looking for an update to flex coupling input box to better model flexible coupling behavior. Flexible joint additional inputs (see attached) 1) Max angle of deflection for flex joint 2) Two stiffness inputs for bending stiffness. Stiffness changes...

When systems are revised it would be useful if a user could import new files from designers and see them directly on top of existing systems. This would allow a user to be able to visually see and measure changes. Updated files can be imported but...

After inserting segment ZZ, AutoPIPE will create blank segment names as showing in the attached. Suggest to increase the number of segments beyond A to ZZ segments. Workaround: Reorder the segments to capture previously deleted segments. However t...

Renumbering or reordering a model is not always an options for a variety of reasons. Add an option in AutoPIPE to automatically reuse or recycle previously used segment names when generating new segments. Example: If after adding segment AC, segme...

AutoPIPE deals with a valve actuator as a rigid beam. The default size for the rigid beam is set as a 10x10 W shape, and any support connected to the actuator is scaled according to that number (see attached image) Request actuator and any support...

At the moment, specific gravity is entered under Pipe Properties and cannot be changed for different pressure/temperature load cases. If there are different load cases, where a section of the model may be filled with water in Case 1 but filled wit...
