What options and codes are available in AutoPIPE STANDARD, Advanced, or Nuclear, please see the following AutoPIPE help section:
Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Bentley AutoPIPE> Getting Started> AutoPIPE V8i Standard vs Advanced vs Nuclear>
Here is a sample of the information available (example: AutoPIPE CONNECT 12.04.00.13):
1 Multiple code years are available in AutoPIPE Advanced and AutoPIPE Nuclear editions. AutoPIPE only supports latest code year.
2 Only Uniform Response Spectra and SRSS Combination method available in AutoPIPE edition.
3 NEMA 23 for turbines, API 617 for compressors, and API 610 for pumps.
4 KHK 2 add-on option is required to access this feature (available for AutoPIPE Advanced and AutoPIPE Nuclear editions).
5 For Hydrotest, we create a separate analysis set that produces the HYD load case from the Hydrotest properties settings. Both Linear and Non-Linear hydrotest.
6 Maximum number of load cases that can be analyzed in a single analysis set during a static analysis run in v9.1 or later.
= Gravity (1) + Thermal (20) + Pressure (20) + Static Earthquake (20) + Wind (10) + User (20)
= 91 cases for Advanced and Nuclear (26 for Basic). However, multiple analysis sets can be run in a single static analysis in v9.1 or later.
Since up to 100 different thermal loadings can be defined and analyzed in a single static analysis, only 20 thermal load cases can be used per analysis set. For example, when running 50 thermal cases, a minimum of three analysis sets are required. Since each analysis set can analyze up to 91 static cases, hundreds of loads can be analyzed with different scenarios, linear, non-linear, and hot or cold modulus in the same static analysis run.

.
If a particular piping code or edition is not available in your version, please see the Piping Codes Enhancements for AutoPIPE that have already been logged. If one is missing please log a Bentley Service Request asking that it be added to AutoPIPE.
Do I need to install AutoPIPE Standard, Advanced, & Nuclear on my computer?
