The allowable pressure of flanges as per EN1092-1 can be defined by formulas or by table. In the past AutoPipeVessel was giving the table allowable pressure. In the new version, it's the calculation with the allowable stress of the material. It wo...

Very often we are tasked of cleaning an imported PCF or other imports. We notice quite a few disconnected segments as evident with anchors at the middle of runs. Very often the PCF import tolerance does not work, and many disconnections are import...

Currently, there is no option to analyze transportational vibrations on a pipe line when it is being shipping to a different location, specially for skid mounted piping. This allows users to identify shipping supports which can be removed after th...

In the designing of tall structures, especially tall process columns, the use of DIN 18800 proved helpful. This must be notified though, that this standard is out of use, and has been superseded by EN 1993-1-6 for a while.Kindly please add this to...

This is related to the limitation on the PCF Attribut Mapping tab. If we had the ability to map the PIPING-SPEC to a material then this issue would have been very easy to resolve.

Looking for an update to Import/Export the file from Auto-Pipe to UG-Nx or Vice versa. Currently there is no common format's available which will support both the software's.

Sometimes is needed to increase locally the thickness of the vessel wall to reinforce the nozzles (under pressure load or external loads), instead of increasing the whole course or head thickness (for economic reasons). Simulating this local thick...

In the case of sketch f) of table 4, the factor C can rise to 0.45 if s > 3 s1. Nowadays, there is no way to get C = 0.45 with the models of flat heads offered by Autopipe Vessel.

Add compressive stress calculation according to EN13445 16.14.8 instead of PD5500 when the calculation code is EN. Allow calculation to be selected manually. Also provide control on factors relevant to calculation such as Cx, Cbx, Q, Tolerance cla...
