Add features to include Type A/B fitting pressure factor for En13480 piping code

Add options into application that accommodates En13480 table A.2 specification for all fittings per En10253 requirements to define pressure factors to be applied to fittings of Type A and wall thickness requirements of fittings of Type B. Add opti...

Add ability to group analysis sets which represent different analysis cases

Piping Stress, Pipe Support, and Foundation load generation require different analysis conditions using different seismic loads to meet differing code requirements. Currently, this is difficult to manage in the same autopipe file as users may have...

Add ability to analyze multiple Analysis set at the same time

Currently AutoPIPE analyzes analysis sets one at a time. Between each analysis set the application writes the results of the analysis from the cache temp folder to the model folder. Models containing multiple analysis can take an extended period o...

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...

Consider the external pressure for ASME B31.8 / B31.4 offshore

As a subsea engineer using AutoPipe for modelling spools and jumpers, it is frustrating and misleading that AutoPipe does not account automatically for external pressure in all codes.

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 ...

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...

Apply wind Shape factor to pipe properties instead of everything as it varies due to geometry in AS1170.2

You currently only have 1 place to input the Wind shape factor and this is applied to all pipes but the value is different for each diameter in Accordance with AS1170.2. This value could be input in the pipe properties for individual pipe sizes, t...
