Reports take a considerable amount of time to generate and be displayed in the AutoPIPE Report Viewer, why and what can be done?
Open the AutoPIPE readme file located in the program folder: default = C:\ Bentley\ AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries\ readme_autopipe.htm
After the document is opened, select the System Requirement Hyperlink and review the requirements. Compare these requirements against your computer system (Start> Control Panel> System.
Note: AutoPIPE cannot be installed on the following Windows Operating Systems: Home Premium, Home Basic, or Starter.
Depending on the settings and size of the model some reports can exceed several thousand sheets. Yes your computer may the minimum requirements mentioned above, but this may not be enough system resources to run a sizable model and/or output report. Recommend adding additional computer memory, faster processor, etc..
Save the model to a folder on the hard drive and run it from this location. Does this decrease the time it takes AutoPIPE to generate a complete output report?
If so, your network is slow and needs to be addressed by your It department
If not, continue.
The easiest way to be sure most of the other applications are turned off in the background is to reboot the computer and only start AutoPIPE. With only AutoPIPE running, open the model having the problem and now try to create an output report. Does this decrease the time it takes AutoPIPE to generate a complete output report?
If so, it may be related to insufficient system resources.
After completing step #3 above, also suggest to temporarily disable Virus protection software and/or any Document Management software as these application can impede AutoPIPE's functionality and performance. Contact local IT department to help with this task.

The CAE development team is constantly working towards increasing AutoPIPE's performance. Therefore, suggest to update the application to take advantage of new enhancements and fixed issues.
