Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: Piping Codes Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Problem: How to update AutoPIPE with a new piping code or a new Code Compliance Calculations? Can I use a different edition of the same code and get the same results until the new Piping code has been added to AutoPIPE? Solution: AutoPIPE does not support module updates. Another words, the piping codes available in each version of AutoPIPE are hard coded into the program and cannot be updated with copy/pasting a few files. A new version of AutoPIPE would need to be installed in order to see a different list of Piping codes / Code Compliance Calculations available in the program. Note: See the following WIKI page for a list of current AutoPIPE versions available for download. Check the release notes for all new enhancements including new piping codes - editions that may have been added. If you do not see a particular piping code needed for a project, log a service ticket requesting an enhancement. Bentley TSG does not perform any kind of code evaluations between Piping Codes or different editions of the same Piping Code. Therefore we cannot comment on what code or edition should be used for your piping analysis. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the user to select a Piping Code and Edition to be used for a model's analysis. Please keep in mind that CAE development team is constantly updating the program based on users requests and industries acceptance. It is a considerable undertaking in both time and financial investment for programming, producing all background calculation in Mathcad, & QA&R testing for each new piping code added to AutoPIPE. Therefore, it may be sometime after a code release before it will appear in the program as an option, but it all starts with logging service ticket for the enhancement Also see: AutoPIPE Enhancements
