Note:
When a company signs up to become a QA&R member, a form 6-1-2, (Contact Personnel for "QA & Reporting" Subscriptions) is filled out. On this form are 4 categories for QA&R related deliverables. Each category must have a designated person(s) from your company to receive these deliverables (ex. they can all be the same person or different people for each of the 4 categories). Contact these people as needed.
If you are unsure who is your Single Point of contact at your company for a given category, send an email to one of the above 3 people asking for the information or file a Bentley Service Request referencing this wiki.
All communications including Potential errors should be referenced or reported to Bentley through service requests.
Bentley provides an “Acceptance Test Set” of models with pre-verified results. An automatic utility executes this set of test models through AutoPIPE and compares the results against included benchmark values. Users can also compare their results manually against those provided through a pdf document. This confirms that AutoPIPE is working as expected.
AutoPIPE has been developed to comply with applicable portions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B; 10 CFR 21; and ASME NQA-1.
Remember that only AutoPIPE software installed from an the official QA&R CD sent by the QA manager has these certs. AutoPIPE software downloaded off the internet and installed locally / remotely does not meet these qualification.
Yes AutoPIPE has a CofC, use one of the following methods:
a. AutoPIPE CONNECT 11.00.00.22 and higher has a Validation certificate
b. Please contact the QA&R Program Manager mentioned above to get a copy. This person is the only one who can send out official documentation on the program. Please include complete contact information, company name, and 8 digit number of AutoPIPE version in use.
Note: Both AutoPIPE and STAAD.PRO software are covered under Bentley Nuclear Quality Assurance program - Bentley solution for nuclear generation is widely used for safety-related applications. AutoPIPE's QA procedures have been and continue to be successfully audited by our major users since 2009.
The QA&R monthly error reports are sent to the individual(s) who are designated to receive all "QA & R Deployment" release and any other related documentation on the QA Form 6-1-2. This form was filed out when first signed up for the QA&R program, if you are not part of the QA program and are interested in learning more about it please send an email to the people above.
Only these individuals mentioned on the QA form will have access to the QA documentation. They have the responsibility and access to download documentation that can then be distributed to designated individuals within their company as they deem necessary.
