Note: The following information was presented to each company that had Stress ISO add-on license for AutoPIPE by their Account Manager: OpenPLANT Isometric Manager (OPIM) to replace AutoPIPE StressISO Add-on leveraging ISOGEN Bentley will release AutoPIPE v9.6.1 in July 2014. This will be the first release in the AutoPIPE line that does not ship with ISOGEN for producing Stress isometrics. In place of ISOGEN, AutoPIPE will leverage OpenPlant Isometrics Manager to create Stress isometrics which will ship in AutoPIPE v9.6.2 at the end of September, 2014. OpenPlant Isometrics manager is built on a platform that has been successfully used by PlantSpace users for 15+ years. We believe strongly that AutoPIPE along with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager will provide deeper integration between design, fabrication, construction and operations for the lifecycle of piping isometrics. This more closely aligns with Bentley’s long-term business goals. Due to these facts, as of June 24th, 2014, Bentley will make the following changes to our AutoPIPE StressISO add-on offering. What does this mean for you? If you have purchased perpetual licenses of AutoPIPE StressISO Add-on you will be able to continue to use what you have purchased indefinitely.
