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...

The pst file is used to automate the preparation of the thermal stress calculation sheet and the support design condition sheet. However, it cannot be used if the version of autopipe is upgraded. Your company's policy is to invalidate assets that ...

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...

Use Case: If a model contains 15 nozzles, to remove all 15 nozzles, it is necessary to select each nozzle individually and delete that component. Thus requiring 15 separate operations. Suggest adding a method that allow for the selection of multip...

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

Implementation of PCC-1 Appendix O for bolt stress determination

Improve the guide calculation by allowing the selection of a displacement instead of a stiffness

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 ...

When importing a PCF file with back to back valves, additional flanges are inserted between these vales as shown in attached image. PCF translator should not insert additional flanges if flanged valves are modeled back to back.

Add a new load condition that evaluates saddle support bolting per TEMA RGP-G-7.1.1.1 APPLIED LOADS AND LOAD COMBINATIONS when Inserting/removing a heat exchanger tube bundle. Note: Until this IDEA is implemented, please workaround mentioned in KB...
