QA Users:
Only model analysis performed on a AutoPIPE version installed from the QA CD sent by the QA manager are concerted to be certified under the QA Procedures. Any model analysis performed on a AutoPIPE version installed from a downloaded file should be considered invalid and must be re-run on a certified installation of the program.
See Link here for valid installation procedure.
Non-QA Users:
Product Download and Installation To download the products or to complete the licensing process, you must have the appropriate roles assigned by your Site Administrator. If you have not been assigned these roles, you will need to obtain the name of your Site Administrator by submitting a Service Request at http://apps.bentley.com/srmanager/ProductSupport.
If you are experiencing problems logging into your Bentley account, please contact bentley at 1-800-BENTLEY (1-800-236-8539). Outside the United States +1 610-458-5000.
With the appropriate privileges you can obtain the software as an electronic file from Web Downloads. Once you have installed the desired product you will need to complete the product authorization process by obtaining a license file from Bentley.
SELECT Services Online: The installation program will guide you through the process, prompting you for information when required.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the application, it is highly recommended that you do not install this product over the previous version.
NOTE: This is a standalone installation, no other previous installed product version is required.
Downloading the files from SELECT Services Online/Download - the download process gives you a choice to save the file to a specified location, or to begin the installation from the download area.
Network Considerations - Network drives are only supported for data files.
> AutoPIPE software must be installed on a local client workstation.
> AutoPIPE data files (*.DAT) must have full read/write access to be opened and edited.
See the AutoPIPE Quick Start Guide (..\Documents\Quickstart_AutoPIPE.pdf) for more information on downloading and installing AutoPIPE.
AutoPIPE Standard, AutoPIPE Advanced, AutoPIPE Nuclear, and add-ons are installed from one executable.
NOTE: For further information on translators, please refer to their respective readme files.
Program Help: Detailed feature information may be accessed directly from the calling application by selecting the Help command, or by pressing the Help button from any of the application dialogs. Be sure to explore the program Help for answers to your questions.
Tutorials: Documentation for AutoPIPE applications is provided online in the Adobe.pdf format. These files are accessible from the Help Menu. All documents can be browsed, searched, or printed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Information and how to download a FREE copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader can be obtained from http://www.adobe.com/.
It is highly recommended that you obtain the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you do not have access to the World Wide Web, please contact us so we can provide you with the necessary files for using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
This sections contains the list of piping codes, code editions supported and AutoPIPE license edition (Standard, Advanced or Nuclear) for which these items are supported.
Stress intensification factors, flexibility factors, and sustained stress factors used in B31 piping analysis
AutoPIPE Advanced includes all codes available in AutoPIPE Standard, as well as the following codes.
AutoPIPE Nuclear includes all codes available in AutoPIPE Standard and AutoPIPE Advanced, as well as the following codes.
AutoPIPE Standard, AutoPIPE Advanced, AutoPIPE Nuclear, and add-ons are are all supported on the SELECT Server Licensing. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the product, it is highly recommended that you do not install this product over the previous version. Older versions of AutoPIPE 6.3, 8.50, 8.51 and 8.60 will run under SELECT Server XM Licensing using the SELECT Server XM Gateway Service and the older SELECT licenses. For more information on the SELECT Server XM Gateway Service see the AutoPIPE Quick Start Guide.
The AutoPIPE products can be authorized as Standalone Licenses (formerly called Fixed Licenses), fixed to one user workstation or as Concurrent Licenses (formerly known as Floating Licenses) running from a local or Bentley hosted SELECT Server.
Users who have existing Floating Licenses and wish to convert the licenses to run on SELECT Server can contact Bentley Sales Support Center from the website at http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Services/Bentley+Sales+Support.htm. The following information is required when requesting SELECT Server licensing: Server Name, email address of the recipient of the SELECT Server license and the Serial Numbers to be added to the server.
Product activation is achieved by connecting to a SELECT Server, receiving a verification that your SELECT Server Name and Activation Key are correct, and successfully posting Usage logs. Product activation is not the same as checking out a license. This document describes how to configure AutoPIPE for activation. After initial configuration, AutoPIPE automatically and transparently tries to activate each time it runs, and runs unconstrained for a period of 30 days after its last successful activation. However, if activation is unsuccessful for a period of 30 days, AutoPIPE will not start until it is activated again.
The Product Activation Wizard is designed to step users through the product activation process. After a product is installed, you must obtain a license and then activate that license. Obtaining the license alone is not enough to complete the process. This wizard eliminates the confusion and makes it clear that obtaining a license and activating a product are two essential steps.
The Product Activation Wizard opens automatically (unless the "Activate product using Bentley License Tool" check box is turned off) at the end of the product installation process. See the AutoPIPE Quick Start Guide for more information on installing AutoPIPE.
The first screen of the Product Activation Wizard offers four product activation options:
SELECT subscribers with a deployed (local) SELECT Server
SELECT subscribers activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server
Non-SELECT users
Evaluation Only - No license information
The wizard steps you through the activation process based on the options selected.
If you are activating against a local SELECT Server, you must provide the proper Server Name and Activation Key. The Server Name and Activation Key, along with any proxy configuration information, can be obtained from your Site Administrator.
If you are activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server, the Server Name is pre-populated but you must provide the proper Activation Key provided by the Bentley Sales Support Center.
If you are not a Bentley SELECT subscriber and you are activating AutoPIPE, you are presented with three options:
The following outline identifies all major errors in this release:
ASME NB: Tee moments may use incorrect sign and may lead to incorrect stress results when combining signed and unsigned combinations
ASME NB: Changing fatigue curve for a pipe identifier may modify fatigue curves for other pipe identifier(s). Due to this incorrect modification, the reported Usage factor values may be lower than expected values, leading to unconservative results
ASME NB: Stress, allowable and SIF calculations for a reducer may use incorrect Pipe properties and Pressure/Temperature data. Using these incorrect values may results in lower eq. 11 stresses, higher ratchet allowable, higher eq. 10 allowable, and lower B2 stress index
ASME NC/ND: Stress Summary calculations incorrectly uses branch pressure and geometry for pressure term calculations of "P + WGT + Rev. Dyn" stresses at a tee point.
ASME Nuclear: Incorrect density, composition, and modulus values for standard pipe materials NI and GROUP-1-B
Multiple Supports Response Spectrum analysis does not produce results when SAM displacement is applied to anchors connected to beam members
On duplicating a wind load, changing the wind direction of one case also updates the direction of duplicated case.
Hydrotest for beams is multiplying thermal anchor movements with temperature factor and incorrectly adding them to thermal anchor movements for displacement calculations
