Where can I find information about the different versions of the ADLPipe to AutoPIPE Translator ?
The following file is copied to the location when installing the application:
C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE Translators\ADLPipe Translator\ README.txt
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. 5 character point names (exceeding 9999) are now renamed to 4 characters 2. All supports are written after geometry in neutral file (.ntl) 3. All extra data including gross disc, out of roundness, cut short etc. is written after geometry in neutral file (.ntl)
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Pipe modifiers starting from bend far point were not applied correctly on the far point. 2. Model disconnection at STEM Valves / Valves with actuator 3. Any exta data e.g. forces, additional weigth applied to valve mid point is exported 4. valve weight and length export problems are fixed 5. Valve actuator offsets problems are fixed
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Added joint offset mapping on JSIF. 2. Added end connection type on joint offset mapping. 3. Added conversion of delta/t to delta value for joint offset. 4. Fixed issue with printing of joint offset on I1(near point).
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. SRS Spectrums from ADLPipe were not read correctly. The code assumed one spectrum per execution set. Revised the code to handle multiple spectrums per execution set. 2. Pipe material composition is no longer written for design codes other than SPC2, TBK56, KHK, EURO and ASME NB, NC, ND. Earlier this was being written to .ntl.
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Reducer following a bend will not have OD and thickness written in the card to avoid the pipe change problem as the pipe on the second end of reducer was getting written first. 2. Pipe identifier length issue fixed. Pipe identifier length exceeding 8 characters was truncated on import that resulted in more than one different pipes getting the same ID. 3. Code year mapping for B31.1 is fixed. The code years for B31.1 which are not available in AutoPIPE have been mapped to next available code year and a warning is shown to the user about this particular change. 4. The analysis flag is off now for analysis sets by default. To analyze a given set, it has to be enabled within AutoPIPE from Tools->Statis Analysis set dialog. 5. Specific gravity calculation error for pipe properties has been fixed.
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Added stress summary translation as an *.xml file for ASME Class 1, 2 and 3 piping codes 2. Analyze flag for static analysis set to 'On' due to stress summary implementation 3. Added support for translating single response spectrum files (SRS) 4. Added map file for acquiring default properties for piping code and code year 5. Merged double instruction valves without stem also to single valve 6. Fixed problem of bends following a reducer and reducer end pipe properties not updating correctly 7. Added the option (SAM card) to run SAM case analysis after import 8. A new drop down list to select a version of AutoPIPE installed to open the translated file 9. Multiple ADI files selection for translation in one go 10. Shortcut is created under a new program group Programs> Bentley AutoPIPE Translators > ADLPipe Translator
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Increased precision of coordinates in NTL to 5 decimals
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Pressure units fixed for SI units (bar to N/mm2). 2. Alpha*DT factors fixed for SI units and metric units(conversion factor mm/m added). 3. Yield (SY) was not exported for ASME Class 1 & 3 piping codes. 4. Hot modulus property for material has been fixed.
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Unit files used by ADLTranslator that are shipped with AutoPIPE v9.4 are updated with unit factor fixes: eng_adl.unt, met_adl.unt, si_adl.unt, simd_adl.unt 9879 ADL Translator: Some unit factors not set correctly when importing to AutoPIPE (see tracker for more details)
No changes
Following Fixes/Changes were made. 1. Rename nodes in ADLPipe with names lying in the reserved range 9000-9999 of node numbers.
