AutoPipe Nozzle has been discontinued for some time now. Many users and prospects are looking for this feature in the latest version of AutoPipe which is missing. It is good to have this feature back in AutoPipe future versions
Are we ever going to get an updated version for nozzle-to-shell stress calculations using WRC-537 (I'd be happy with 107 at this point) that works with the latest AutoPIPE and the latest ASME material code allowables? It's been 2.5 yrs since the announcement and we are on hold updating AutoPIPE versions for this very reason (yes... we know about the "work arounds" but is this where we really are 2 years later?) . Can we get an update?
The plan is to provide another tool for this analysis, supported by the routines from AutoPIPE Vessel. Hopefully we should have something later this year, and in future this will be hooked up to FEA via ADINA

When they provide the tool that will replace the autopipe nozzle,
