1.0.0.21
1. Program icon update
1.0.0.20
1. Update specific gravity calculations and fix unit conversion issues.
1.0.0.19
1. Fix issues with importing displacements for rotation in degrees instead of radians
2. Hot modulus for thermal cases should be imported from PIPE/CHANGE instructions instead of material properties
1.0.0.18
1. Do no write pipe card before valves, the valves must use the card from last pipe
2. Use thermal expansion for material from the first exec set, if not available then use the value from pipe properties of geom dataset
3. Add support of MSXML6 and removing dependency on MSXML4
1.0.0.17
1. Handle displacements for load cases as:
Deadweight -> Gravity
Wind -> Wind
Acceleration -> User
2. Transfer displacement loads for J node of 2S/3S/4S springs to I node
3. Use degree as unit for cone angles in all unit files
4. Reducer small/large end unit conversion fixed for Metric and SI unit systems
1.0.0.16
Room temperature can be entered from graphical user interface of program now.
1.0.0.15
Build version update
1.0.0.14
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Rename nodes in ADLPipe with names lying in the reserved range 9000-9999 of node numbers.
1.0.0.13
No changes
1.0.0.12
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)
1.0.0.11
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.
1.0.0.10
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Increased precision of coordinates in NTL to 5 decimals
1.0.0.9
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
1.0.0.8
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.
1.0.0.7
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.
1.0.0.6
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).
1.0.0.5
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
1.0.0.4
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)
