Add Feature to Allow Specific Gravity to be Changed for Different P/T Cases

At the moment, specific gravity is entered under Pipe Properties and cannot be changed for different pressure/temperature load cases. If there are different load cases, where a section of the model may be filled with water in Case 1 but filled wit...

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 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...

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 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)
