Description:

This is maintenance release 1 to v09.05.00.21 and Nuclear QA&R version and fixes some nuclear ASME and JSME critical and Pipelink issues.

Bentley AutoPIPE V8i is a stand-alone, engineering application used for the calculation of piping stresses, fatigue stresses, fluid transient, bowing or thermal transient analysis, flange or pipe support design, and equipment nozzle loading analysis under static and dynamic loading conditions. In addition to 34 piping codes, AutoPIPE incorporates ASME, JSME, British Standard, European, Russian API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, and WRC guidelines and design limits to provide a comprehensive analysis of the entire system.

Major New V8i features SELECTseries 4 include: Interoperability

• • Export model data, graphics, results and deflected plot to DGN
  • Intelligent mapping of Caesar RIGID 'flanges'
  • Retain PXF/PCF flange length
  • PCF Translator: Import Line Number and Line Class

Modeling

• • Allow entering polar/cylindrical coordinates using radius, angle and elevation
  • Add input grid for RIGID options element
  • Optimize performance of segment input grid

Piping Codes

• • Add JSME /JEAC PPC 2008 code
  • FRP piping code ISO 14692 for petroleum and gas industries

Post Processing

• • Increase number of combinations to 1000 each for code and non-code
  • Soil Overburden and Seismic Wave Stress for buried piping

Analysis

• • Piecewise exact integration option to time history
  • Displacement, acceleration and velocity input to harmonic loading for Equipment and Acoustic vibration loadings
  • Multiple Flange Analysis improvements
  • Fluid density factor by static analysis set

The Bentley IEG License Service MUST be installed to run this AutoPIPE version.
