ASME NM.1 analysis for plastic pipes

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.

Include ability to override Sustain Stress Indices (SSI) in User SIF dialog

The code allows you to reduce the SSIs based on more applicable data. Currently, AutoPIPE only lets you use SSI = 0.75SIF or SSI=1. ASME B31J allows you to reduce the SSI based on the following: Where sustained stress or moment factors are require...

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 a feature to apply impose displacement at any node point regardless of support settings.

This is to apply at nodes where support is not applied so the user can apply imposed discplacement regardless of support setting.
