&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#008000;color:#ffffff;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;In AutoPIPE Vessel under Materials window&amp;gt; Design tab, one can find the material&amp;nbsp;property, allowable stress etc. shown for the minimum thickness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;This is NOT the final computed thickness, but the minimum thickness which is either the default&amp;nbsp;thickness when the program is run in Optimized Design mode or the one specified by the user in Checked Design mode.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;For example in the following example the mode is set to Optimized Design mode and calculations performed:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6153.1.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6153.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Once the calculations are performed the&amp;nbsp;computed thickness is 7.11 mm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/8713.3.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/8713.3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;However, if we look at the shell&amp;nbsp;Component Properties dialog box, the shell&amp;nbsp;minimum thickness (which is the default minimum thickness when run in Optimized Design mode) is 3 mm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3021.7.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3021.7.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;This is the same as that in the Design sub-tab of the Material tab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/51427.2.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/51427.2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;So how do we print the computed thickness property and NOT the minimum thickness property in the design tab.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;The best way to do that is to go to Execute&amp;gt;Convert Results as Input Data:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1731.4.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1731.4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;This would populate the fields with the current computed data hence the thickness field under shell Component Properties dialog box gets updated from 3 mm to 7.11 mm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/70348.5.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/70348.5.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Likewise the Design sub-tab under the Material tab also gets updated with 7.11 mm and hence now it reports the data for 7.11 mm instead:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6_2D00_1.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6_2D00_1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;Q: Why does not the materials tab &amp;gt; design sub-tab&amp;nbsp; show the properties for the actual computed thickness in AutoPIPE Vessel?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A: In AutoPIPE Vessel under Materials window&amp;gt; Design tab, one can find the material&amp;nbsp;property, allowable stress etc. shown for the minimum thickness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is NOT the final computed thickness, but the minimum thickness which is either the default&amp;nbsp;thickness when the program is run in Optimized Design mode or the one specified by the user in Checked Design mode.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example in the following example the mode is set to Optimized Design mode and calculations performed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6153.1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6153.1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the calculations are performed the&amp;nbsp;computed thickness is 7.11 mm:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/8713.3.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/8713.3.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, if we look at the shell&amp;nbsp;Component Properties dialog box, the shell&amp;nbsp;minimum thickness (which is the default minimum thickness when run in Optimized Design mode) is 3 mm:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3021.7.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3021.7.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the same as that in the Design sub-tab of the Material tab&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/51427.2.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/51427.2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So how do we print the computed thickness property and NOT the minimum thickness property in the design tab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best way to do that is to go to Execute&amp;gt;Convert Results as Input Data:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1731.4.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/1731.4.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This would populate the fields with the current computed data hence the thickness field under shell Component Properties dialog box gets updated from 3 mm to 7.11 mm:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/70348.5.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/70348.5.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise the Design sub-tab under the Material tab also gets updated with 7.11 mm and hence now it reports the data for 7.11 mm instead:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6_2D00_1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/720x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6_2D00_1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
