The following is displayed: Bentley AutoPIPE Application has stopped working "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Problem / Solution #1: Increasingly, AutoPIPE has been crashing when the user clicks "save." Often, the program will exhibit odd behavior which precedes the program crashing, such as the user being unable to use the arrow keys to navigate to other points within the model. Other times, no odd behavior is detected and even without clicking "save" the program will spontaneously crash. The error that results each time is as follows: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Autopipe then closes without any user input. The CAE development team investigated this issue in detail on our end. They were able to relate it to possibly an issue with graphics driver update. Currently the graphics drivers in use on your machine are of version 8.1, dated 28th September 2009, where the latest drivers are released on 21st January 2013. Update the graphics driver from following location and settings and then check if it resolves the issue or not: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx Problem / Solution #2: Program crashes on exporting buried pipe options to NTL because model contains invalid value(zero) for pointer to buried pipe options. To avoid the issue, Change piping code from B31.3 to B31.1 because buried pipe option is not available in B31.3 Open Buried Pipe Options dialog (Tools Model Options Buried Pipe Result Options) and Press Ok so that buried pipe options pointer will be updated OR Save model as AutoPIPE V94 DAT Open V94 model and program will update buried pipe options pointer Then NTL will be exported successfully. Problem / Solution #3: Program crashed when pressing the "Generate Default description" button on the Load Load Case Description dialog screen. The problem was that default description of SAM cases exceeds the maximum limit of Load case description length. This issue has been logged under TFS-D103020: application closes abnormally on generating default description. Avoidance: Do not use the "Generate Default description" button if this occurred. Manually update the description names as needed. This will be fixed in AutoPIPE 09.06.01.xx and higher. Problem / Solution #4: Program crashed when pressing the "Renumbering" button on the toolbars. Avoidance: There is no avoidance, there is a problem with the model. Sometimes the issue is related to bends. Somehow program skipped to delete bend mid points. This issue and others similalre can only be fixed by the CAE development team. Please log a service request, attach the AutoPIPE *.APC file and the development team will try and fix it. This is a known issue, but no known reason as to the root cause. It will be good if you could remember any operations performed on bend. Was the bend deleted or converted to run/tee point using “Modify Convert To” commands?
