    What is New & Changed in AutoPIPE®

    The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the AutoPIPE CONNECT Edition version 12.08.03.015.

    • Piping Codes
      • Added ASME B31.3 2020 - Process Piping. This edition of B31.3 piping code mandates the use of ASME B31J for SIF and Flexibility calculations. A new option is now available in the Result Model Options that allows the use of ASME B31J Table 1.1 General Note (d) for sustained moment indices calculations. For branch connections, the use of effective section modulus (Ze) is now removed.
    • Reports
      • When importing an Aveva E3D pipe stress file, Tags (from Supports, Valves, and Flanges) and Attachment IDs (from Supports) are now supported.
      • Microsoft Word Report templates have been updated to improve overall quality.
      • General
        • A Model Explorer utility has been implemented to enable easier location of specific models. Search criteria and filter controls are also available.
        • The Tee Point dialog has been modified to automatically populate dynamic fields upon data entry.
          • Security Release Notes
            • Upgrade to Power Platform 17 to fix security vulnerability related to libxml2
              A remote code execution vulnerability in libxml2 could enable an attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code within the context of an unprivileged process. This issue is rated as High due to the possibility of remote code execution in an application that uses this library.
            • Update Newtonsoft to v13.0.1 to remove security vulnerability
              Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Newtonsoft.Json. Newtonsoft.Json prior to version 13.0.1 is vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to improper handling of StackOverFlow exception (SOE) whenever nested expressions are being processed. Exploiting this vulnerability results in Denial Of Service (DoS), and is exploitable when an attacker sends 5 requests that cause SOE in within 5 minutes. This vulnerability affects Internet Information Services (IIS) Applications.
            • Notes
              • Features related to the DGN file format removed in v12.07.00.346 have been reinstated.

            Error History

            The following outline identifies all major errors fixed in Release of AutoPIPE v12.8.3.

            • None

            The following outline identifies all major errors fixed in Release of AutoPIPE v12.8.2.

            • Defect 867582: General Piping code user defined allowable is shown as 0 on "Code Compliance Combination Allowable Stresses" sub-report

            The Analysis Summary (sub-report: Code Compliance Combination Allowable Stresses) for General Piping code reports lists the user-defined allowable as zero instead of non-zero values. This issue is valid for all Allowable columns in this report if the Allowable is set to User-defined instead of Automatic under the Code Combinations tab of the Load Combinations dialog.

            • Defect 880414: Security: Upgrade to Power Platform 17 to fix security vulnerability related to libxml2

            A remote code execution vulnerability in libxml2 could enable an attacker using a specially crafted file to execute arbitrary code within the context of an unprivileged process. This issue is rated as High due to the possibility of remote code execution in an application that uses this library. 

            • Defect 956742: Code Compliance may not display the positive face of a node although the results for the positive face may be higher

            AutoPIPE splits nodes into minus (-) and plus (+) faces when there is a possibility that the results on the two faces may differ, for example nodes having supports, forces & moments, change in pressure or temperature, or change in pipe properties etc. To filter display of results that are very close in magnitude, AutoPIPE limits the display of any two-faced node to only the minus face when the difference in the result values (stress, allowable, moments etc.) between the two faces is less than 1 unit.

            In models where default English units file is used for output, program will only display both faces when the difference in the stress or allowable values is more than 1.0 psi. However, when default SI units file is used for output, program will only display both faces when the difference in stress and allowable values between the two faces is more than 1 MPa. In cases where the stress result on the positive face is higher than on the negative face, the higher stress value may not be reported. This is true for Code Compliance report, interactive stress results, and result grids.

            • Defect 949244: ASME B31.3- B31J always considers "Use SIF of 2.0" checked for reducer

            The program does not calculate reducer SIF using B31J equations and clauses and always considers "Use SIF of 2.0" option.

            • Defect 959774: Program crashes on editing any node after editing tee point
            • Defect 960040: Security: Update Newtonsoft to v13.0.1 to remove security vulnerability

            Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Newtonsoft.Json. Newtonsoft.Json prior to version 13.0.1 is vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to improper handling of StackOverFlow exception (SOE) whenever nested expressions are being processed. Exploiting this vulnerability results in Denial Of Service (DoS), and is exploitable when an attacker sends 5 requests that cause SOE in within 5 minutes. This vulnerability affects Internet Information Services (IIS) Applications.

            • Defect 965112: Adding mass points per span changes B31J static analysis results

            When performing static analysis on a B31J-enabled model, the value set in the Mass Points per Span field (Tools > Edit Model Options) may affect the stiffness of the model. The number of mass points should have no effect on the static analysis results and are normally required for dynamic analysis.

            The following outline identifies all major errors fixed in Release of AutoPIPE v12.8.1.

            • Defect 891921: Modifying Pressure/Temperature data of one point, modifies Pressure/Temperature data of other point(s)

            When pressure temperature data is modified for one point, the program randomly modifies the data for other point(s) as well. The issue is that multiple points share the same record of pressure temperature data; therefore, modifying data for one point results in the modification of all points that share that record.

            The following outline identifies all major errors fixed in Release of AutoPIPE v12.8.0.

            • Defect 643934: Seismic ASCE 2010: Ss value is not fetched correctly through DB

            For ASCE 2010 seismic code, the program is incorrectly fetching the values of Mapped Spectral Response (Ss) from the database file USMapSsS1.mdb against the provided latitude/longitude values.

            • Defect 732630: Max Ratio for flange with ANSI check is displayed incorrectly in the Flange Summary report

            The Flange Summary report when produced using Quick Reports output (Result > Quick Reports > Output Report) displays the stress ratio for flanges with ANSI check enabled as zero. This only occurs when the second flange at a node has ANSI check enabled. If both the flanges on a node, or the first flange on the node has ANSI check enabled, the result summary is displayed correctly. Moreover, this issue cannot be reproduced when the Flange method is set to other than ANSI check.

            • Defect 748539: Copy/Paste: Pasting piping points with soil applied modifies existing model data

            Using copy/paste operation for a selection set having piping points with soil applied may result in unintended changes in the model where the selection set is pasted. This issue extends to the Insert Model option. The copy paste operation may be performed in the same model or in another model. The unintended changes in the model input data may lead to unintended results, which may be unconservative.

            • Defect 761529: B31.3 and B31.12 IP: Override SIF checkbox for SIFs in the 'Joint Type and User SIFs' dialog does not use 0.75i condition

            The in-plane and out-of-plane SIFs defined in the 'Joint Type and User SIFs' dialog with the 'Override SIF' checkbox checked are not multiplied by 0.75 as required by the ASME B31.3 and B31.12 codes. This may lead to higher stresses being reported for sustained and/or occasional load combinations. This issue does not affect models with 'Use B31J' checkbox checked in General Model Options.

            • Defect 781999: Time history Location dialog does not accept beam nodes

            Time history location dialog was not accepting beam points. Fixed now so that the dialog accepts beam points too.

            • Defect 794182: Flange Check: Auto Flange/Bolt Dimensions box incorrectly resets gasket material and configuration

            A user interface inconsistency may lead to gasket material and gasket configuration of a flange to be reset when the Flange Check dialog is closed and reopened. Also, checking the Auto Flange/Bolt/Gasket dimensions box.

            • Defect 801331: Soil ID input grid: PGV value cannot be modified, instead of PGV the PGA value is updated

            This issue is only in input grid. When "Peak Ground Velocity" value is updated from "Soil ID" grid, program updates "Peak Ground Acceleration" value instead of "Peak Ground Velocity". The value of "Peak Ground Velocity" remains the same.

            • Defect 804005: Incorrect W factor by changing pipe material and piping code edition

            A bug in the input grid and when switching model code to B31.3 was preferring critical temperature equation over the weld factor table when automatically calculating the longitudinal weld factor in Pipe Properties.

            • Defect 812329: Some flanges are not being reported in the Flange Analysis Summary report

            An error in AutoPIPE's Flange Analysis Summary output report (SQO) omits certain flanges. This is caused by flanges that were introduced on a node after one or more non-flange extra data components are added to that node.

            • Defect 817745: ASME B31 codes: Bends are using SIF < 1 when Pressure Correction and 'Override all other In-plane and Out-plane SIFs at this point' checkbox is checked for user SIF

            The "Pressure Correction for User SIF" checkbox in result model options is used to apply the pressure correction factor as defined by ASME B31 codes to user-defined stress intensification factors. This option is disabled by default. Pressure Correction for User SIF is only available for ASME B31 codes for all available editions. User-defined stress intensification factors are inserted in the model using "Insert > Xtra Data > Joint Type & User SIF". If user-defined stress intensification factors are inserted on a bend with "Override all other In-plane and Out-plane SIFs at this point" checked and "Pressure Correction for User SIF" result model option checked, depending on the pressure value and dimension of the bend, pressure correction factor can significantly decrease the stress intensification factor (i) for the bend to less than 1.0 (SIF values should not be less than 1) which may lead to unconservative bend stress values.

            • Defect 869451: Flange Check: Effective Diameter of Bolts maybe incorrectly used based on Auto Flange/Bolt Dimensions box state

            Effective Diameter of Bolts maybe incorrectly used based on Auto Flange/Bolt Dimensions box state in flange check. This bug is valid for all piping codes with definition of new flanges. All analysis methods for flange in program maybe impacted except ANSI check (as Effective bolt diameter not used).

            • Defect 873664: B313: 0.75i condition is not applied on bend points when 'Use B31J' and 'Set Occasional SIF=0.75i' result model option is checked

            This issue is limited to bend points in B31.3 piping code models. The Result Model Options 'Set Occasional SIF = 0.75i' is not applied on bend points when the 'Use B31J' option is checked. The full SIF value is used instead of reducing the SIF by 0.75.
