    13. Settings Enhancements & Defects for AutoPIPE

    Note: if an enhancement or defect 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.

    The following enhancements and defects have already been requested:

    Enhancement - 1112537:

    File>Open reverts back to last folder instead of default location

    Updated Version: TBD

    TFS-E875283:

    Remove "Include torsion in code stress" from output report when applicable code has not been selected

    Description:

    Results Model Options "Include torsion" setting controls how the Analysis Summary prints "Include torsion in code stress ........ " of the output report. This has lead to some confusion as this setting only pertains to a limited number of piping codes. While in other codes, Torsion would always be considered.

    Remove "Include torsion in code stress ....." from being printed in Analysis Summary when selected piping code was not apart of applicable codes listed under "Include torsion".

    Updated Version: TBD

    TFS-E565484:

    Add option to assign horizontal Global axis designations

    Description:

    The time honor tradition is to rotate the entire model to match a specific Axis orientation in the program. Instead, suggest adding features in the program where the user can specify the horizontal axis.

    Example:

    Per default iso view, horizontal left is Z axis and horizontal right is X, add a feature to swap or flip these designation. Therefore default iso view horizontal left is X axis and horizontal right is Z axis. Also consider the ability to assign these as -ve axis of current setting, X-axis becomes -X axis, etc..

    Updated Version: TBD

    TFS-E187234:

    Add feature to specify or report max. spacing of mass points per span

    Description:

    Add feature to specify or report max. spacing of mass points per span when "Mass points per span" setting is non-zero.

    Updated Version: TBD

    TFS-E138195:

    Add option to enter acceleration due to gravity

    Description: 

    Under Edit options or Tools/Settings

    Development Project:  TBD

    TFS-E126889:

    Consider axial force in selection of load pair for Max Range combination

    Description:

    Currently Max Range combination only considers maximum resultant moment for selection of load cases for Max Range combination. The axial force should also be considered when selecting the load cases.

    Development Project : TBD

    TFS-E126888:

    Add details to online help regarding selection of Max Range load cases.

    Description:

    Currently the online help does not clarify how the load case selection is made for Max Range combination. The online help should include the following note so that the user is clear on the selection procedure (under help topic for "Include Max Range comb" Result Model Option):

    Max Range combination considers the pair which results in maximum resultant stress. Currently, axial force effects are ignore for max range combination.

    Development Project : TBD

    TFS-E121889:

    Save North Arrow directional settings with the model

    Description:

    Add a feature to save the North Arrow "Angle From X-Axis" and "Show North Arrow" settings between models.

    Development Project : AutoPIPE CONNECT 11.00.00.22 and higher

    TFS-75309:

    Update "Use nominal thickness" default settings Load Menu: two menu items have same keyboard shortcut key

    Description:

    Update default thickness used for calculations for all piping codes:

    - For B31.4 Liquid transportation, the default should be "Use nominal thickness" as checked

    - Update online help to include defaults - also comment on corroded or reduced for all piping codes

    - Update defaults for all piping codes by going through the piping codes and remove any inconsistencies

    - In online help for "Use nominal thickness":

    > Provide a table (copy of existing) for "Use nominal thickness" (See attached image).

    > Define tnom, tcor, and tred.

    > Define calculations used for cross sectional area and section modulus.

    Development Project: TBD

    CAE-CR-8922

    Add feature to assign Y-factor to pipe properties

    Description:

    The Y factor is used in hoop pressure stress calculations. This factor depends on the type of steel and could vary by temperature (and by wall thickness for thick pipes). Presently, the application only allows for one y-factor per model.

    Being a temperature and material dependent variable, a system may require many different Y-factors.

    Add feature(s) to assign multiple Y-factors to different node points.

    Development Project : TBD
