Currently the straight flange portion of conical shell with knuckle cannot be specified in the conical shell UI, but a feature is proposed to include that in the UI as an input to model and create drawings and include in reports.

Allow the use of Alternative Pressure Area Design Method if the primary method of assessment for PD5500 shows non-compliance. The alternative method is less conservative and therefore may in some cases be able to sufficiently demonstrate compliance.

For vertical vessels I suggest to add a field to add a material for lugs on top o f the vessel and also another field to selected the material for lugs on bottom skirt (tailing lug). It is very common to have columns in for exempla stainless steel...

According ASME Section VIII Div.2 Paragraph 4.1.2 it is required to respect the minimum thickness. At the moment the software doesn’t send any information about that. However for ASME Section VIII Div. 1 the software send the information according...

According ASME Section VIII Division 2 it is required to determine the upper limit for test pressure – ASME SECTION VIII Div.2 Part8 Paragraph 8.2.1 (c). Based on that is important to state on the project documents the value for minimum and maximu...

When API650 is not suitable for a vertical tank, calculation should be done with API620

API650 tanks can only be calculated with ASCE, sometimes it is required EN norms for wind and seismic design

Currently AutoPIPE Vessel considers both corrosion and tolerance for nozzle neck thickness calculation. A radio button to allow user to consider tolerance or not can be added in the nozzle dialog box.

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.

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.
