Sometimes designers want to create a custom flange specially for large diameter nozzle which can then be checked as a body flange (Appendix 2 etc.). Currently this can be done as a separate model but an option to include custom flange to a nozzle ...
Hi - is there a way to include consecutive elbows or bends in AutoPIPE? We have a model with back to back elbows and the model does not render the geometry well. Second, it appears that the Elbow forum is missing previous pages. Is Bentley still w...
AutoPIPE's Node Annotations (Insert > Node Annotations) are not able to be printed on a Stress Isometric. Using the "save isometric drawning" prompt, we have the option to isert annotations (but it's not a good way to do it), and it's not relat...
Please add the possibility to perform a fatigue analysis directly in ASME VII Div.1 without choosing Div.2. When I choose Div.2, all the calculations and the allowable stresses are of course different.
Just as you can include flanges (EN-DIN-ASME) in the connections, include CLAMP connections (ASME BPE - DIN32676) that are very common in the pharmaceutical industry.
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.
Load Combinations -seismic and wind load factors should be adjustable by user
Factors multiplying the wind and seismic loads need to be adjustable by user. Example below in red box shows Load combinations for wind load. Currently this combination is hardcoded in the program.
Please can we update the API 650 calculations as well as the user interface. Africa is booming in storage of petroleum. This means we need API 650 more and more here. AutoPIPE can have the edge here compared to other softwares. We can use it as a ...
Modal Analysis Results to include Modes Normalized
Modal Analysis Results to include Modes Normalized, the normalized result output would greatly help users locate which node points have the highest displacements where additional restraints could be needed to increase frequency at each mode results.
