    06. Import Enhancements & Defects for AutoPIPE

    Note: if an enhancement or defect has not been added to the program, log an Service request for that enhancement. The more requests logged per an enhancement, the quicker the CAE development team will add that feature to the program.

    The following enhancements and defects have already been requested:

    Enhancement 1099727:

    Add option to import Autodesk Navisworks NWD File Format

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 1099723:

    Add option to import IFC model files

    Workaround:

    ISM can import IFC files, which can then be brought into STAAD, and then finally exported to AutoPIPE with PipeLink.

    Development Project: TBD

    Defect 1072133:

    PCF Translator: Program is unable to import large coordinates

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 1004002:

    PCF Translator: import component tag properties

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 876955:

    PCF Translator: provide a user interface for customization of mapping of component attributes to AutoPIPE properties

    Development Project: TBD

    Defect 737379:

    PCF Translator: Provide an option to review and reset component and material mappings

    Development Project: 11.02.00.08

    Defect 567115:

    PCF Translator - Program should process Supports after all components

    Description:

    Supports are not shown in model after being imported from a PCF file. This is because these missing supports components were listed as first component in the PCF file.

    Steps to repeat:

    1.Import PCF file into the program
    2.Note supports are not imported as mentioned in the PCF file
    3.Open PCF file, move all supports that are listed as first components to near the end of the file.
    4.Re-import the new file
    5.Supports are now present

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 460633:

    Add ability to specify Beam node points when using "Import Imposed Support Displacements" command

    Description: 

    Currently when using this command, only pipe node points are acceptable. when specifying a beam node point the following message appears:

    "Warning: The Specified Point could not be found in the model and has been ignored."

    When reviewing the model, the beam node point is present but as mentioned by the warning has been ignored. Add ability to specify Beam node points when using "Import Imposed Support Displacements" command.

    Avoidance: use import (copy/paste) technique from Excel to AutoPIPE grids here.

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 422376:

    Add feature to import Nozzle Pro loads

    Development Project: TBD

    Defect 370794:

    caesar II import fails for B31.4 and B31.8 models having bend

    Description::

    Import any Caesar II model that has bend and piping code is B31.4 or B31.

    Or

    - Open WALKTHRU.DAT
    - Change piping code to B31.4/B31.8
    - Export to Caesar II neutral file
    - Import the Caesar II file back

    Avoidance:

    Change the following piping code parameter in CII neutral files to reset back to another code in place of B31.4 or B31.8 - e.g. change to 1 i.e. B31.1.


    Find the codes in CIIMAP file

    After importing the model change AutoPIPE Piping code as desired.

    Development Project: 10.1 

    Defect 370791: 

    NTL import: Program crash if last point in NTL is bend with mid-point

    Description: 

    NTL import: Program crash if last point in NTL is bend with mid-point

    Steps to repeat:

    - Create a new model
    - Insert one or more run points
    - Insert bend with mid-point (mid-point checkbox on bend dialog)
    - Leave bend as undefined/incomplete i.e. don’t insert any point after bend
    - Save As NTL
    - Open NTL and notice program freeze

    Avoidance:

    - Open NTL file in text editor like notepad
    - Remove mid-point percentage (column 61-70) form last Bend card.
    - Import NTL file.
    - Define the mid-point back for the last bend

    Development Project: 10.01.00.03 or higer

    Enhancement 327902:

    PCF Translator: Translator freezes while importing PCF file.

    Description: 

    The program freezes when trying to import the 2 files.

    Development Project: 10.01.00.02 and higher

    Enhancement 224511:

    PCF Translator: Fetch Pipe wall thickness from Item Code > Description

    Description: 

    PCF Translator should be able to fetch Pipe Wall thickness from Item code > description in case wall thickness Component Attribute 4 field is blank or incorrect in PCF file.

    Example:

    Component Attribute 4 = 600-NPA-0300 (Incorrect Value)

    Related Item Code Description = Pipe, 3", S/160, SMLS, SA-106-B

    Imported Pipe wall thickness schedule set to 160

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 207181:

    Add feature to import load cases into exiting model

    Description: 

    Add feature to import load cases (ie. Pressure, Temp, Earthquake, Wind, Wave, SAM, Soil settings, etc.) into existing model from another model.

    Development Project: TBD

    Defect 177463:

    Fluid density is not initialized to default of 1 when creating a new model using NTL Import

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 137117 (Tracker 9351):

    Import CAESAR v.5.3 neutral files

    Description:

    Add option to read CAESAR v.5.3 format. Currently program can read only up to CAESAR v5.2 neutral files. 

    Development Project: 9.4.0 

    Enhancement 127738:

    Add feature to import Revit model

    Development Project: TBD

    Enhancement 110659 (Tracker 3338):

    Add ability to model rectangular ducting as equivalent diameter  

    Description:  Model rectangular ducting as equivalent diameter.

    Development Project:  TBA

    Enhancement 96011:

    Add ability to view 3D model of plant in AutoPIPE for visualization purposes

    Development Project: 9.6.1.x

    Enhancement 88394 (Tracker 11113):

    PCF Translator: Add feature to select ASME NB piping code 

    Description: 

    Add features to select ASME NB piping code from the Piping Code drop down listing and corresponding Material Libraries. 

    Development Project:  9.6.1.x
