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...

Add Node/Support point text leader lines

When using AutoPIPE or relating an output report to a model, users need to be able to clearly read the indicated text on screen / screen shot added into an report. This is not easy in congested areas with how AutoPIPE currently displays informatio...

Multiple Ambient Temps for Hot Tie-in Case

Does any means exist to enter multiple ambient temperatures for piping? For example: Case 1: Header with tie-in valve operating at 375F. Will fit up proposed piping at 70F to tie-in valve in hot position. After tie-in valve is open header remains ...

Non-nuclear Fatigue Analysis

I am planning to include non-nuclear fatigue in a future release. We already support ASME III NB method for nuclear and want to provide a general approach to be used with other design codes. I am looking for interest in the idea and any suggestion...

speed up the analysis of large model

large dimension model have a big problem in velocity, particulary with dinamic, for the very old architecture of the software. Some common ideas: multi core implementation (a must, in my opinion) 64bit use of library for graphic cards a benchmark ...
