(1)
a) AutoPIPE Vessel uses a CAD plugin to create drawings, therefore a cad program (ex. AutoCAD, Microstation, Solidworks, etc..) must have been installed before trying to export the respective drawing from AutoPIPE Vessel.
b) CAD export capability will be limited only to the type of equipment that can be modeled while using a Standard or Heat Exchanger or Ultimate license version of the program.
Example:
With Vessel Standard license enabled, user cannot export a Shell & Tube heat exchanger model to drawings. User must have a Vessel Ultimate or Heat Exchanger license enabled to export a Shell & Tube heat exchanger model to drawings. Because, Shell & Tube heat exchanger can only be modeled with an Ultimate or Heat Exchanger license and not a Standard license.
(2) Individual component modeling / calculations can be performed instead of full equipment modeling and design.
(3) Choice of one code (per user’s choice and as mentioned in license agreement) is included in the license for Vessel Standard or Heat Exchanger. However, the user may select more than one code in which case they will be charged separately for the code that is NOT covered in the license. Conversely, Ultimate license includes ALL the design codes.
