   This area describes variables, equations, and methodology used by AutoPIPE to produce output reports per the code associated with the piping system database. AutoPIPE is capable of generating actual and allowable stresses for each of the applicable stress categories (depending on the current, analyzed load cases) for all codes listed below. Please Note: The Standard edition only has access to 4 ASME codes and European code EN13480 as shown in the Getting Started topic "AutoPIPE Standard vs Advanced vs Nuclear".
