AutoPIPE's new Hot Clash Detection is gaining a lot of interest to avoid costly design and Plant operation failures due to deflected piping and structure hitting other pipes, structures, Equipment etc. The new technology will integrate with all the major 3D CAD systems on the market today: Bentley's AutoPLANT & OpenPlant, Intergraph's PDS & SmartPlant and AVEVA's PDMS. Hot clash PDF tutorial is available under the Program Examples folder.
New Nuclear JSME PPC (Class 2) 2008 design standard for the redesign and recertification of piping systems under new seismic rules for safe operation of 50 nuclear plants currently shutdown due to the Fukushima disaster in March 2011
Comprehensive FRP/GRP pipeline design to ISO14692:2005 Addenda with fully measured, simplified, and rectangular component failure stress envelopes automatically calculated using any our fiberglass manufacturers data or enter custom data. Tee and Bend components can be qualified and chemical resistance and cyclic service design factors supported.
Brand new simplified color data plots supporting 200 colors on-screen or printed to PDF complete with color legends. New Segment color plots and quickly hide groups of any connected segments to reduce the clutter of editing and/or viewing results for large complex models.
Toggle on/off any combination of pipe property, operating load or stress data with a simple click.
Six (6) new flange productivity improvements to sychronize flange design with the graphical plot, sort and edit any flange data directly from the integrated flange design module, see color coded view of incomplete flange data - not ready for analysis, new user defined PMAX pressure for ANSI flange check, and Analysis bolt spacing correction for lethal or non-lethal service.
Now import Caesar models into AutoPIPE and the model will be more intelligent with the flanges (RIGIDS with simple weight in Caesar) converted to AutoPIPE flanges with weight, flange type, pressure rating and flange spec then ready for comprehensive ASME 2010 flange analysis and design.
For complex skewed or circular piping systems, now easily insert any component using the polar/cylindrical coordinates
New dynamic dialogs and displacement, acceleration and velocity harmonic or transient time history analysis loads for solving Equipment and Acoustic vibrations
Now supporting more accurate Piecewise Time History Analysis Method
AutoPIPE for all common mechanical or flow induced piping vibration
Import 3D CAD models : AutoPLANT , PlantSpace, OpenPlant, Plant 3D, PDS, PDMS, SmartPlant, CATIA, Inventor, SolidWorks and CADWORX
Can you fix the link to the hires feature presentation? Thank you.
Autopipe currently supports ALA guideline seismic wave propagation analysis. However, does it support analyzing fault line crossings per the same guideline? If not, will this feature be supported in an upcoming release?
Would it be appropriate to design fault line crossings by applying an offset to the pipeline? Are there any other way to model this?
Is there anyway to calculate pipe strain for buckling analysis?
Hi jacky89,
