Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Enhancement Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group The following enhancements have already been requested: 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. TFS-E142327: Add feature to calculate SIF and SSI per WRC 329 Add feature to calculate SIF and SSI per WRC 329 Development Project: TBD TFS-E138419:CAE-CR-10336: Add new butterfly valve type library Description: Add new butterfly valve library to the application, which will be selected from the "Type" drop down list on the valve dialog screen. Development Project: 09.06.03.xx TFS-E138391, CAE-CR-10303: Flexible joint: add constant stiffness option Description: Add option to enter constant stiffness values for flexible joint. Development Project: TBD TFS-E126980: Add friction force value to over come before flexible joint movement Description: Various expansion joint types have a Breakaway force that must be overcome before the joint can start moving (see attachment). Add friction force value to over come before flexible joint movement Development Project: TBD TFS-E108453 - CAE-CR-4779; Ability to model breaking load for ball joints The enhancement would need to provide an initial stiffness up to a specific load limit, Once the load limit is passed allowing the ball joint to move the stiffness would drop to 0. Development Project: TBD TFS-E79346: Add option to apply an SIF to one or both sides of a node point Description: Currently a user SIF is applied to both side of a node point. However, for conditions like [welded valve to a pipe] or [welded elbow to a pipe] where the two components have different pipe ID's with different wall thickness, each side of a single node point would have a different SIF value. Provide an option to apply a user specified SIF to the +ve and/or -ve. node point face to be used in the code compliance calculations Development Project: TBD CAE-CR-11098: Add option to apply lining stiffness Description: Add option to apply lining stiffness on the pipe properties dialog. Development Project: TBD CAE-CR-3218: Increase the length of the pipe identifier name from 8 to 16 characters Description: Increase the length of the pipe identifier name from 8 to 16 characters. Workaround: The CAE development team has added a tag-no.field that is associated with the a pipe identifier (PIPE ID) that can be edited from the Pipe Properties dialog screen or Pipe Properties tab on the input grids. The maximum length of this field is 36 characters. Development Project: TBD CAE- CR-11056 (TFS-139059): Add new valve type library for Press Safety / Relief Valve (PSV or PRV) Description: Add a new valve library to the application, Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) commonly known as a Pressure Relief valve, which will be selected from the "Type" drop down list on the valve dialog screen. Development Project: TBD CAE-CR-941: Add two point flange Workaround: Use one of the following modeling approaches: a. Insert flange components by normal means making sure to provide all the necessary information. The graphics may show a single flange or a two flanges side by side , both methods are correct. b. Insert a run of pipe equal to the hub length of a flange. Select this hub length run of pipe and insert Rigid Properties Over Range". Include Weight = OFF (unchecked), Include Thermal Expansion = On (checked), Insert> Xtra Data> Select the node point where the flanges will be connected to each other, Insert> Xtra Data> Additional Weight> enter the weight of the flange. Select the node point where the flange is welded to the pipe, Insert> Xtra Data> Joint Type and User SIF>enter the correct settings Development Project: TBD See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?
