Add the capability to analyse multiple piping codes in a single model

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...

report generation with word or pdf instead of rtf

I think several autopipe vessel users have encountered this problem: the RTF file takes a long time to open the RTF file is heavy to load to launch a calculation it is necessary to close the RTF file (in this case me I want to look at the rep...

Flexible Joint Step Function Stiffness

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...

Add API 661 allowables to rotating equipment

Provide user ability to insert cooler nozzle allowables per API 661. This would help with cooler orientation and no longer require user to look up allowable values each time. Provide a multiplier allowable (i.e. 2x 3x API limits)

Reference point - nonsymmetric allowable

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...

Transport saddles calculation for vertical vessels

Add saddles for transport on vertical vessels. Calculation should be similar to horizontal vessel on saddles, but with transportation loads. This will eliminate need for an additional model for transport. Transport will be part of report and will ...

Get rid of annoying windows beep sound

This is a really annoying sound. The UI shall provide a feature to disable the annoying beep sound. The attached wiki link proposes to disable Windows Sounds, but this disables all other Windows Sounds that serve a purpose outside of Autopipe. A s...

Update Materials List & Temp Range to reflect that of the code (B31.3)- Specifically N08811

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
