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 ...

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...

Add option in pipe support data "Support", column for "Rigid for Hydrotest"

Pls add option in the pipe support "Support" data, column to allow users option to check mark pipe support node points where spring rate/stiffness are provided. (Note: for spring types, default will have the check-mark activated). For example, usi...

Option to calculate transportational vibrations during shipment of the pipes

Currently, there is no option to analyze transportational vibrations on a pipe line when it is being shipping to a different location, specially for skid mounted piping. This allows users to identify shipping supports which can be removed after th...

Add redundant anchor for thermal load only

As AutoPipe limited node to 10000 only, for bigger model we model part of the system and we need to apply boundary conditions at the discontinuous node, if it is defined as anchor and apply node displacement (for thermal growth) this fictitious an...

Upgrade Steam relief to include other gas & liquid relief thrust analysis

Currently The Loads > Steam Relief > Steam Relief command enables the user to define the thrust loads at steam exit points due to a discharge through a safety relief valve. Add ability for program to analyze other gas & liquid relief val...

Carbon Steel Flange Material

It would be extremely useful to add additional carbon steel flange material to the database drop down list. In my experience, the majority of the pipelines are comprised of the materials shown below and their flanged equivalent. Please add the fol...

Total Computing Power

I noticed that Autopipe uses a limited amount of computer power. In a time-history analysis with a modal frequency of 400hz on a relatively small model it took about 30min using only 6 to 9% of the computer's processing power. An improvement in pr...
