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...

About the support forces of the Excel Report of the report manager The Global_Direction outputs the same column, but users need to separate them by X, Y, Z. Please develop the AutoPIPE to separate the column by x, y, and z?

Problem: While using Excel report manager, selecting an existing save report to be applied to the current model displays the following message: "Report not compatible with the currently opened Database". This occurs because the original model use ...

I have difficulty seeing text in AutoPIPE as it doesn't update along with high contrast in Windows.

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 ...

This functionality would be very advantageous for post-processing results. I currently have scripts to convert dgn to dwg (and adjust according to my delivery standard) in addition to accessing the .db to generate an organized excel with the relev...

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.

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 ...

Adding an option to export the Maximum Code Stresses Color Graphics in .DGN format. The user can utilize this feature to present the code stresses in a more visual way in Navisworks.

When loads are sent to structural or equipment manufacturers, we often apply a factor of conservatism to cover small changes that might occur in the model. While exporting the results to an excel file is useful, the need to apply a load factor req...
