    03. What is the accuracy rating for results in AutoPIPE compared to hand calculated values?

    Applies To 
    Product(s): AutoPIPE

    Problem:

    What is the accuracy rating for results in AutoPIPE compared to hand calculated values?

    Solution:

    Bentley AutoPIPE's accuracy has always been and will continue to be no more than 2% error.

    As mentioned in our ATS documentation:

    "The numerical results of the AutoPIPE Acceptance Test Set shall be within the acceptance criteria of nominally 2%, unless otherwise noted. Numerical results generated by other editions, or run under differing operating environments, are also expected to be within the same acceptance criteria (nominally 2%, unless otherwise noted). Therefore, edition specific output comparison files will not be provided."
