    Libraries - AutoPIPE

    Comments, Questions, and Answers about AutoPIPE Libraries:

    1. Material Library 

    a. Can I migrate customize library files to newer versions of AutoPIPE?

    Answer:

    The CAE development team is always manipulating the program to add new enhancements or fix known issues. As a result there is no way of knowing if any of the library files content / format has been changed / updated from the previous version(s). 

    Therefore as a rule of thumb, never use a library file from one version of AutoPIPE to another. Recommend getting the new library source file and coping the customized information into it. This procedure will ensure that your model is correct for the version of AutoPIPE being used.

    b. Does AutoPIPE have my material?

    c. How can I make updates to one of AutoPIPE's default material library?

    Answer:

    See the following link that applies to the version of AutoPIPE being used:

    i. Add New Material to Existing Library, AutoPIPE V8i v.9.0 and higher

    ii. Add New Material to Existing Library, AutoPIPE 6.0 

    d. Review material library default values 

    e. References used to create code and non-code material libraries

    f. Difference between 2 different material libraries

    g. Explain why default material values (ex. Thermal Expansion) do NOT match code referenced values

    - Thermal expansion coeff calculated

    h. Select a non-default material library / Import material information

    i. Material library has 0.00 values, what value should be entered?

    j. Refresh AutoPIPE's material library information

    k. Cannot open SRC files inside application

    l. Control decimal values in library file

    2. Unit Library

    a. Make changes to Unit files

    b. What conversion factors are used when updating a unit Library file from English to Metric?

    c. What to do when value entered exceeds program's maximum number?

    3. Component

    a. Make updates to default component library

    b. Add a new component  - log a service request and provide details about the new component

    4. Spring

    a. Add a new spring library

    5. General
