When a Joint type and user SIF are inserted, the Sus Tors. Index value will actually be computed in the post processor. In the meantime, AutoPIPE displays a value of "1.00" in the dialog, which can be misleading for the user. It is recommended to ...

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.

When a user defines custom projections in the Ring Tool dialog, and then realizes they need to add an additional angle, it is not possible. The current method requires the user to clear out the custom angles defined and reenter the custom defined ...

As per the note in read on the top of this page, please bring back the user accreditation program

Last specified update of AutoPipe got only EN 13480 +A4:2021 Our clients asks to use latests revisions (as of now - 2024.08.09) in our projects. According to EN list there should be EN 13480 +A5:2022 (edited data, originally got wrong list of code...

It is important to know not only the distance between the two points but also the angle of the pipe with respect to the coordinate axes during creating and modifying a model. I would like you to add another item to the Tools menu called Angle Meas...

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 ...

Response spectrum analysis is a static equivalent linear analysis to a dynamic earthquake event. AutoPIPE allows the use of V-Stops with gaps for static analysis. The condition of the gap closure and subsequent support loading is determined by eva...

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

ASME B31.3-2022 F312 FLANGED JOINTS suggests using UG-44(b) "for qualifying piping external loadings on welding neck flanges". UG-44(b) is a modification of the very conservative equivalent pressure method.
