Description

Bentley AutoPIPE V8i is a stand-alone, engineering application for the calculation of piping stresses, fatigue stresses, fluid transient, bowing or thermal transient analysis, flange or pipe support design, and equipment nozzle loading analysis under static and dynamic loading conditions. In addition to 30+ piping codes, AutoPIPE incorporates ASME, JSME, British Standard, European, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, GOST and WRC guidelines and design limits to provide a comprehensive analysis of the entire system.

This new release provides new features, critical code updates, and enhanced product interoperability. This is a maintenance release for AutoPIPE V8i (v09.06.01.11) which includes several bug fixes plus the following new features

Analysis

• EN13480 Hoop allowable is now the minimum of f and fcr, if fcr is not available, then the hoop allowable shall be set as time independent allowable stress f
• A new consistency check is available when fluid density factor for an analysis set is zero
• New Electric Welded Materials available for EURO2002, EURO2009 and EURO2012

GUI

• Open and Save Archive commands now available in File > Open and File > Save as menu

Import / Export

• Improved Isometrics drawing creation using OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
• CII file import has been improved to connect geometry through cnodes

Piping Codes

• ASME B31.1 2014 edition now available

Translators

• PCF Translator has been improved to ignore components with OD smaller than a given threshold ignored

Documentation

• 'Use nominal thickness' result model option explained in more detail in Help
• Behavior of category maximums like (SUS) for multiple analysis sets explained in more detail in Help
• B31.4 code material documentation updated to reflect program behavior
• Help now describes how AutoPIPE displays the system to have qualified when equation 10 fails, but equation 12 and equation 13 passes for all points in the system
