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?

Hello HVN,

This should have been a separate post instead of posting to the commercial release notification.

To answer your question, the image above is based on the new enhancement where AutoPIPE retains the 2 point flange length imported from the PCF file, as shown below in the announcement. With regards to your Flange analysis question, please log a service ticket with detailed steeps to repeat and attached model.

Again, please do not reply to this post, but log a Bentley service ticket or a new post.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Mike Dattilio

Some very great improvements in the new version. Thumbs up for that.

Some questions regarding the 'new flange type' and the flaneg analysis.
I noticed that in the new version, flange analysis keeps having problems with the library for gaskets. Flange analysis is not possible anymore (at least for me) for old (i.e. previsouly modelled) and new(ly modelled) piping systems, since I cant set any parameter for the gaskets. See below for the error message I keep getting.

For the problem outlined above, the flange visually appears to be same as in older autopipe versions, i.e. it looks like a 'blind flange'.

This problem, of not being able to do the flange analysis, does however NOT occur when I import a pcf under the following conditions;
- the original routing is modelled in Autodesk Plant3D.
- I import the pcf by selection the autodesk Plant3D pcf option.
- after conversion, I open the model, and find all flanges look like this;

Now, flange analysis is possible.

Anyone who can tell me whats happening here?
