A. If an enhancement has not been added to the program, log an Service request for that enhancement. The more requests logged per an enhancement, the quicker the CAE development team will add that feature to the program.
B. Regardless of what code version is available, the NRC designs are only approved to what code version, see link:

Description:
For ASME ND 1983+1983W addenda and earlier, AutoPIPE incorrectly reports a warning during model consistency check that the hot yield is below 1.0 psi and may affect the equation 9 allowable. Not only does the hot yield not affect the equation 9 allowable for these editions, but the user cannot modify the hot yield, so this warning cannot be resolved.
Avoidance:
Since this warning is not applicable to ND 1983+1983W addenda and earlier, it can be ignored.
Signed moments (e.g. GR, T1, P1) are properly rotated according to Class 1 tee moment orientation, however the signs are not always correct. It is required for pre-verification stresses that the signs are correctly established.
Align the tee legs along the global axes.
Currently AutoPIPE only provides the user with a single value of range reduction factor to be defined under Result Model Options for ASME NC/ND. It is required that the user should be able to define range reduction factor based combination or load case.
The option for the user to be able to provide number of cycles instead of range reduction factor can also be implemented. Internally AutoPIPE would convert the number of cycles to range reduction factor.
Description: Add ASME BPVC Section III NB, NC and ND 2011 edition to AutoPIPE.Development Project: TBD
Description: Up date the ADLPipe ASME routines to 2008 addenda codes (2007 clean code).
