Currently, AutoPIPE calculates the gasket seating width (N) using the gasket outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID), N=(Gasket OD-Gasket ID)/2. As per ASME Section VIII (Sketch 1a), the gasket seating width should be calculated based on th...

Need the ability to save the displacement animation to a MPEG file. Add an option on the dialog box to send output to either Screen or File (avi, mpeg, mpg, etc.) when Animate load case is checked.

Re: ASME NB-3600 analysis: Does the AutoPipe Nuclear TTA module calculate the heat transfer film coefficient for water using only the Dittus-Boelter method? For circumstances where turbulent flow isn’t fully developed, i.e. within 10D of a bend, h...

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...

Give the possibility to input the speed, which is the most common data, to supply for the deprecated functionality in the Help that helps us do the translation from speed to pressure.

Add the possibility to consider an external corrosion (acting on external diameters)

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 ...
