Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): V8i Environment: Enhancements Area: Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group The following Tool> Model Option> enhancements have been logged for inclusion into a future version of AutoPIPE: Note: if an enhancement 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. 1. TFS-75309: Update "Use nominal thickness" default settings Load Menu: two menu items have same keyboard shortcut key Description: Update default thickness used for calculations for all piping codes: - For B31.4 Liquid transportation, the default should be "Use nominal thickness" as checked - Update online help to include defaults - also comment on corroded or reduced for all piping codes - Update defaults for all piping codes by going through the piping codes and remove any inconsistencies - In online help for "Use nominal thickness": > Provide a table (copy of existing) for "Use nominal thickness" (See attached image). > Define tnom, tcor, and tred. > Define calculations used for cross sectional area and section modulus. Development Project : TBD 2. CAE-CR-8922 Add feature to assign Y-factor to pipe properties Description: The Y factor is used in hoop pressure stress calculations. This factor depends on the type of steel and could vary by temperature (and by wall thickness for thick pipes). Presently, the application only allows for one y-factor per model. Being a temperature and material dependent variable, a system may require many different Y-factors. Add feature(s) to assign multiple Y-factors to different node points. Development Project : TBD 3. TFS-E121889: Save North Arrow directional settings with the model Description: Add a feature to save the North Arrow "Angle From X-Axis" and "Show North Arrow" settings between models. Development Project : TBD 4. TFS-E126888: Add details to online help regarding selection of Max Range load cases. Description: Currently the online help does not clarify how the load case selection is made for Max Range combination. The online help should include the following note so that the user is clear on the selection procedure (under help topic for "Include Max Range comb" Result Model Option): Max Range combination considers the pair which results in maximum resultant stress. Currently, axial force effects are ignore for max range combination. Development Project : TBD 5. TFS-E126889: Consider axial force in selection of load pair for Max Range combination Description: Currently Max Range combination only considers maximum resultant moment for selection of load cases for Max Range combination. The axial force should also be considered when selecting the load cases.
