IN AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.xx.xx and higher, how do I select HDPE pipe materials on the pipe properties dialog screen when I am using ASME B31.1 - 2012, with "Include ASME CC N-755-1 (HDPE)" option checked ON.
First be sure that on Tools> Model Options> General> that the option is actually checked as shown above. Then the ONLY method to select HDPE material is by adding a new pipe property to the model, an exiting pipe property ID cannot be updated to use HDPE materials. When using Insert> Pipe Property> command the
after enabling this option a warning screen will appear:
---------------------------Confirm---------------------------Pipe identifiers cannot be changed back to metallicpiping after enabling the HDPE Material option.Do you want to set this pipe as HDPE pipe?---------------------------Yes No Cancel ---------------------------
Select the Yes button, continue to fill out the dialog screen as required where the user is now able to select "NS" or "PE4710" from the Pipe Material drop down list.
