Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): ALL; Environment: N/A Area: Report Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version July. 2017 11.00.00.22 Problem: What does LOC mean in the General Stress Report? Solution: Total stress is calculated every 15 deg and the zero degree axis for the total stress location angle in a clockwise direction around the pipe. The 0 degree axis is the local axis of the pipe cross-section, i.e. perpendicular to the pipe axis, corresponding to the resultant in-plane bending moment. For example, if the local bending moments are my and mz, then arctan (my/mz) is the location off the 0 degree reference axis for the general stress location relative to the local y axis. Note: For straight pipe in-plane bending is arbitrary since no plane of bending like an elbow. Axial stress: fx/A in-plane bending stress: my/Z out-plane bending stress: mz/Z where, fx = local axial force my = local in-plane bending moment mz = local out-plane bending moment See Also Typical Comments, Questions, and Answers about AutoPIPE's Ouput Reports Bentley AutoPIPE

Product activation is not the same as checking out a license. This document describes how to configure AutoPIPE Vessel for activation. After initial configuration, AutoPIPE Vessel automatically and transparently tries to activate each time it runs, and runs unconstrained for a period of 30 days after its last successful activation. However, if activation is unsuccessful for a period of 30 days, AutoPIPE Vessel will not start until it is activated again. Activating a product using the Product Activation Wizard The Product Activation Wizard is designed to step users through the product activation process. After a product is installed, you must obtain a license and then activate that license. Obtaining the license alone is not enough to complete the process. This wizard eliminates the confusion and makes it clear that obtaining a license and activating a product are two essential steps. The Product Activation Wizard opens automatically (unless the "Activate product using Bentley License Tool" check box is turned off) at the end of the product installation process. See the AutoPIPE Vessel Quick Start Guide for more information on installing AutoPIPE Vessel. The first screen of the Product Activation Wizard offers four product activation options: SELECT subscribers with a deployed (local) SELECT Server SELECT subscribers activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server Non-SELECT users Evaluation Only - No license information The wizard steps you through the activation process based on the options selected. SELECT subscribers with a deployed (local) SELECT Server If you are activating against a local SELECT Server, you must provide the proper Server Name and Activation Key. The Server Name and Activation Key, along with any proxy configuration information, can be obtained from your Site Administrator. Enter the name of the server in the Server Name field. Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the hosted SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and fill in the Proxy Server information then click OK. Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the SELECT Server. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product. SELECT subscribers activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server If you are activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server, the Server Name is pre-populated but you must provide the proper Activation Key provided by the Bentley Sales Support Center . Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the hosted SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and fill in the Proxy Server information then click OK. Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the SELECT Server. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product. NON-SELECT user If you are not a Bentley SELECT subscriber and you are activating AutoPIPE Vessel, you are presented with three options: I have a license file ready to import I have an activation key I do not have any license information a. I have a license file ready to import Enter the path to your license file (or Browse to the location of your license file) in the License File field. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product. b. I have an activation key Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the hosted SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and fill in the Proxy Server information then click OK. Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the SELECT Server. Click Next. The Check out license now? page displays. Enter your Email address in the Email Address field. Select the product to be activated (if not pre-populated) it the Product Name field. Enter the product version number (if not pre-populated) in the Product Version field. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product. c. I do not have any license information The product will run in evaluation mode. Click Go To Bentley.com to request activation information. Evaluation Only - No license information The product will run in evaluation mode. Click Go To Bentley.com to request activation information.

Product Version Product Bentley AutoPIPE CONNECT Version v11.01.00.17 Language English Date Posted July 31, 2017 Platforms Microsoft Windows 7 Professional or higher (with Service Pack 1) Microsoft Windows 8 Professional or higher Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional or higher (with KB2919355 Update) Microsoft Windows 10 Professional or higher 32 or 64 bit OS Description: Bentley AutoPIPE CONNECT Edition v11 (v11.01.00.17) - English Bentley AutoPIPE CONNECT Edition is a stand-alone, engineering application for the calculation of piping stresses, fatigue stresses, fluid transient, bowing or thermal transient analysis, flange or pipe support design, and equipment nozzle loading analysis under static and dynamic loading conditions. In addition to 30+ piping codes, AutoPIPE incorporates ASME, JSME, British Standard, European, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, GOST and WRC guidelines and design limits to provide a comprehensive analysis of the entire system. This new release provides new features, critical code updates, and enhanced product interoperability. This is a product generation update for AutoPIPE CONNECT (v11.00.00.22) which includes several bug fixes plus the following new features: Fixes: xxx Enhancements and Errors were completed What is New & Changed in AutoPIPE The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the AutoPIPE CONNECT Edition version 11.1.0. General CONNECT Advisor is now included to help provide easier access to Bentley LEARN materials and other training content. Fluid Transient data can now be deleted from the model database. Gravitational Constant and Water Density values can be edited (within the AutoPIPE.INI configuration file) for more accurate results. The "Suppress Analysis Warning Prompts" option has been moved to the Analyze All dialog. All segments in a model can be reordered based on a pre-defined ordering algorithm. This algorithm detects disconnected groups of segments in order, orders the header first and then each branch in order as it encompasses it. Up to 30 user toolbars can now be created. CONNECTed users now receive program update notifications and can download and install in a single step. Analysis Wind loads on structural members can be defined for more accurate results. [ Technology Preview ] More memory has been allocated to support Time History analysis for more complicated models. Reinforcement requirements for ASME B31.8 are now checked for improved Tee results. Piping Code Updates Added ASME B31.1 2016 edition. Added ASME B31.3 2016 edition. Added ASME B31.8 2016 edition. Library Added SA-508 materials to ASME2013. Reports The Preliminary Stress Report has been changed to Pre-Verification Stress Report in the Batch Report dialog. The Damping Ratio has been added to the Analysis Summary Report/Harmonic Load Cases to provide easier access to data needed for quality assurance of models. ASME NB stress summary reports now list the loadset pair generating the maximum stress ratio for each stress equation at each piping point. Documentation To ensure clarity of calculations, a note has been added highlighting that actual component dimensions are used for stress indices calculations in ASME NB. Information has been added regarding the use of reinforced branch thickness for Branch connection B2r calculations for ASME NC/ND calculations. The Use Nominal Thickness help topic has been improved by adding definitions for corroded and reduced wall thickness and usage. A note has been added to the Load Summary Data Listing for the automated ASCE 7 Wind Cf calculation. Modeling When renumbering or renaming a point, the point is now renamed inside the Reference Point Reference ID. To facilitate accuracy in model construction, a model consistency/design check has been added when the stiffness value for a support is set to zero. Isometrics To facilitate productivity, batch processing is introduced for isometrics generation. IMport/Export Exported .imodel files are now compatible with Navigator CONNECT Edition. Pipelink files are now compatible with STAAD CONNECT Edition (sqlite database). PCF Translator Program now automatically detects and displays a dialog to help map all un-mapped components in the PCF file. Flanges are now mapped to a RIGID pipe with a point flange. Technology Previews - Provide users preliminary access to features currently in development but not yet ready for production. These features are provided at no additional charge to promote awareness of a feature or technology to be deployed in a future release. Users are encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions.

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): All Environment: N/A Area: Report Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version July 2015 09.06.02.06 Problem: The AutoPIPE code combination value of "Max Range {TR]" does not match the indicated combination value or any of the other Expansion combination values, why? Example: Solution: This is not correct, there is a problem with the model and it should be reviewed by the CAE development team. Please submit a Bentley Service Request and attach a copy of the AutoPIPE APC file for review. In addition, please include as much background information as possible about the model (i.e. created using copy clip, created using import, etc..) to help the development team try and reproduce the same results. Only knowing how the problem occurred, can a solution to prevent it from happening be added to the program. Any and all information is appreciated. Workaround: With the affected model opened in AutoPIPE V8i (assuming 09.05.xx.xx or higher), preform the following: 1. Select File> Save as> Choose AutoPIPE 9.4 (dat) or any earlier version than currently being used. 2. After the model was saved, close the current model. 3. Select File> Open> locate the file from step #2 above (i.e."filename_v94.dat") and Open it. 4. Save the file to the current edition format, File> Save 5. Review the entire file to determine input values and settings are found to be correct 6. Select Analyze> All. 7. Review the results. The results should be correct now. Again, please send any information about your original model for review in the SR. See Also "Code Compliance" sub-report using Results> Output Report Bentley AutoPIPE

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): All Environment: N/A Area: Report Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Oct. 2015 09.06.02.06 Problem: What does "*w/sus. load margin" mean in the AutoPIPE's Code compliance output report? Solutions: The solution to this question is directly related to understanding 2 settings: a. Sustain Margin (Y/N/E) b. Use min. sustained margin (where available) It is up to the individual and their engineering judgement on what value to use for these settings. However, it is possible for a code combination to fail (ex. 1.32%), but will pass when sustain load margin was applied (ex. 0.85%). According to Results Summary code requirements have been satisfied Otherwise, if Sus. load margin was not applied, the node point would report as being over stressed and would not satisfy code requirements. Again, the user should decide when or if sustain load margin can be applied to a model / project. For more information, refer to the following.

Comments, Questions, and Answers for AutoPIPE's Output Results, "Displacement" sub-report: Note: For dynamic analysis (anything that uses modal analysis) AutoPIPE report the maximum positive displacements, forces, reactions and stresses. Item #1: The displacement results for all WIND load as were found to be zero, even for extremely high force wind events. Why? Item #2: Wave load case gives different displacements after model was rotated, why? Item #3: Displacement of piping with soil properties is very large, as if the soil properties are not considered during the analysis, why? Item #4: Added concentrated weight does not affect my displacement results in AutoPIPE, why? Item #5: How to generate a report showing the maximum displacement Item #6: Pipe movement exceeds gap distance, why? Item #7: Why are all displacement results for Dynamic Analysis (ex. Time history, Response Sepctrum, etc..) +ve? See Also Analysis Sub-reports FAQ Bentley AutoPIPE

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): ALL Environment: N/A Area: Report Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Feb. 2015 09.06.01.10 Problem: The displacement results for all WIND load as were found to be zero, even for extremely high force wind events. Why? Solution: There are 3 possible issue that would cause this to occur: 1. No wind has been applied to any segments in the model. On the Segment tab of the input grids, Apply Wind has not been enabled for any segments, Example Segment A is exposed to wind, but segment B is not. 2. All piping is below ground The Ground elevation value on the wind dialog screen was set such that all piping is actually below the ground surface where wind load does not affect the piping. See Load> Wind...> example: the vertical ground elevation is +30 feet In the example above, the highest vertical node point elevation in the model is 10.67 ft. However, the Wind dialog ground level is set for +30 ft. Therefore the program assumes that all node points below vertical elevation of +30 ft is considered to be below ground. This scenario will result in 0.00" displacement for the wind load case as all piping is considered below ground regardless of the "Apply Wind" segment selection. 3. Performing a Linear analysis. There will be no pipe displacements at supports with large gaps if performing a Linear analysis which ignores all Gaps, Friction, and Soil settings. For a given Analysis Set enable Non Linear or Gaps/Friction/Soil check box to consider these settings. See Also "Displacement" sub report Bentley AutoPIPE

AutoPIPE has 9 different types of pipe supports. Note: Please see the following AutoPIPE help section to see a grid and hyperlinks that completely describes each type of support and their respective bearing directions: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Command Reference> Supports: From AutoPIPE's online help: Note: Bearing Direction refers to what axis a support's stiffness will act in. Like a spring, support stiffnesses (ex. Rigid, 100 N/mm, etc..) will only act in the direction specified by the chart above for the respect Support type. When referring to a V-stop, the bearing spring stiffness is Rigid and only acts in the Vertical direction regardless of the modeled pipe slope. A support may be added at any point in the piping (or framing) system, and more than one support is allowed at a point. Once the "Support Type" is specified, the dialog is updated to provide additional fields which are unique to the type of support requested.
