Improve reference loads dialog

Add a toggle between X/Y/Z and axial/shear/bending/torsion for forces and moments in the reference loads dialog. Many allowables for connections are given in terms of total shear load or bending moment. It is not possible to use the current refere...

Defining Concentrated force to the local axis of element

The inability to specify the concentrated force for the local element in Autopipe leads to numerous challenges when defining the slug force on a pipeline that is misaligned with the axis. In contrast to CAESAR, Autopipe lacks the capability to rot...

AccuDraw functionality to be able to select, place and move components

This will be a huge improvement with the ability to interact with Autopipe. Currently, users have to use a coordinate system, and map out changes to the Autopipe Mode. A feature similar to Accudraw in Microstation would significantly improve the a...

On screen Code Stress Pass/Fail Indicator

During the development of pipe design, one may need to iteratively. make small changes, and check the impact on stress, Forces, Restraint forces, etc. It would save a lot of time if there was an indicator on the default main UI that states the hig...

Include UID number in "Result" mdb output.

In our work process we create PCF file using S3D. After analyzing data inside Autopipe we would like to export some of the analyzed data from Autopipe and import back to S3D. Easiest way to achieve that would be by using UID number of the analyzed...

Flexible elements displacement results in element local axes

having flexible elements displacements results reported in local element axes, provides a better way to quantify relative end displacements and avoids doing global to local axes transformation out of the software. Amount of end and intermediate di...

Modeling soils in AutoPIPE should be simplified

In my opinion modeling of soils in AutoPIPE takes to much time and could/should be simplified. For selected part of the model, including simultanously vertical, horizontal or inclined segments, there are four geometrical methods to define a terrai...
