MDMT Calculation for the floating head components (cap, flange, split ring, floating tubular plate, etc.) does not appear only external body MDMT calculated. Please add MDMT Calculation for the floating head components
When calculating earthquakes for pressure equipment, need to add design according to paragraph 3.2.2.5 of EN 1998-1.
This would allow the design to consider a reduced design spectrum relative to the elastic range.
ASME released ASME NM.1 for thermoplastic piping systems. It is handy for stress analysis of plastic pipes (PVC, CPVC, HDPE. PE, ...) compared to ASME B31.3. It will be beneficial if Autopipe includes this code as an option for analysis.
I would like to import a Caesar II model. However, I was not able to. I asked for Bentley's tech support help, but I was directed to look at 'Import a Caesar II Neutral (CII) File' from AutoPIPE's help. It is just a general guide. There were a few...
Add the plastic moment reduction factor criteria for the LCC calculation
As per section 5.4.6.8 of the DNV ST F101_2021 Version, the LCC calculation is modified by including the plastic moment reduction factor due to the maximum vertical point load. This would be a good approach to have more realistic and reliable LCC ...
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...
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...
