Increase allowable number of internal data points from 10,000 to 100,000 or more
AutoPIPE's analysis is blocked if total number of points (piping points+ soil points + frame nodes) is greater than 10,000. Suggest to increase the limit number of node points from 10,000 to 100,000 or more.
Flange Ansi check as per UG-44: setting a user ratio for each rating
Ansi/kellogs method is a widely used way to check flange joint, but different standard, or client specification could use different allowable. Now the ASME BPVC VII UG-44 suggest 2.2 for B16.5 #150 and 1.5 for most of the others; DNV suggested 1.5...
Include option to extract displacement results (at node points) in local axes
Nodal displacement results in local axes would be immensely useful. I use AutoPIPE for onshore pipelines which are not straight & reviewing the displacement locally is often needed.
Ring Tool - Ability to define Branch Type for each projection angle
Currently, the Ring Tool is limited to apply all Run Branch types or all Tee Branch Types. Why doesn't the tool allow the user to independently define which nodes need to be tees or runs? See attached screenshot for details.
In the European Union we design wind loads acc. to EN 1991-1-4 (Wind), hence it would be nice if wind loads are implemented as in other pipe stress analysis programs.
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...
Increase tag length or remove the restriction altogether (like Caesar II)
The current max length of tags is 36 characters. Tag is meanwhile just about the only play where we can save some element-specific information. For example in the case of a Support I would like to save AT LEAST the following:1) The designation of ...
The DVS code is a technical code which includes fundamentals for the design, calculation, prefabrication and assembly of industrial piping made of thermoplastics and laid above ground. More clients are requesting for this code and would be a great...
