We typically model wall and roof penetrations as guides with clearance gaps of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 inches in all directions. These modeled clearances are then used to verify load transfer and confirm that the gaps are adequate at each penetra...

When an Anchor support is rotated using the Rotate command in AutoPIPE, the translational and rotational stiffness components do not update to reflect the new orientation. This leads to stiffness being applied in the wrong directions relative to t...

The pst file is used to automate the preparation of the thermal stress calculation sheet and the support design condition sheet. However, it cannot be used if the version of autopipe is upgraded. Your company's policy is to invalidate assets that ...

When it comes to exporting pipe support loads from AutoPIPE to STAAD, PipeLINK is an effective tool. While PipeLINK has most of the necessary functionality, there is a lack in the ability to add a Design Margin to the pipe support loads sent from ...

Adding an option to export the Maximum Code Stresses Color Graphics in .DGN format. The user can utilize this feature to present the code stresses in a more visual way in Navisworks.

Dear AutoPIPE Development Team, We are currently working on a high-level automation of piping stress analysis using the AutoPIPE NTL batch processing format. To improve the accuracy and efficiency of buried pipe analysis via batch input, we would ...

When importing a PCF file with back to back valves, additional flanges are inserted between these vales as shown in attached image. PCF translator should not insert additional flanges if flanged valves are modeled back to back.

Our current work process is to receive PCF's from the 3D design model, translate, analysis and suggest changes if needed to the design team, then repeat as the 3D model changes. Currently the only way to see design changes is to visually search th...

This functionality would be very advantageous for post-processing results. I currently have scripts to convert dgn to dwg (and adjust according to my delivery standard) in addition to accessing the .db to generate an organized excel with the relev...

For V-stops and Hanger support types, the Support report prints global values as local values. Example, see attached image. Notice the Global axis direction is different from the indicated pipe's local axis direction. Next notice the support's Loc...
