Note: if an enhancement or defect 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. The following enhancements and defects have already been requested: Enhancement 816194: Add feature to report results for all load cases Description: Report analysis results for all load case not just maximum Development Project: TBD Enhancement 659442: Add Flange Leakage Evaluation based on NC 3658.3 Method Description: See WIKI here Development Project: TBD Defect 273838: Inside diameter data from the flange analysis dialog may not be enterable by the user for NS flanges Description: Flange standard diameters for inside diameter when translated to SI contains very small floating point errors. These errors are recognized by AutoPIPE, which disallows users to enter inside diameter in SI. Avoidance: On the General Model Options dialog set the Input units = AutoPIPE, press OK, open the Flange analysis dialog, select the Flange Tab, enter the calculated Inside diameter based on English units, Press OK button, change the Inpt units from English back to the original setting, and re-open the Flange analysis dialog, may need to re-enter the inside flange diameter again, but no warning should appear this time. After using the procedure above, suggest using Copy / Paste to quickly update similar flanges. Development Project: 11.1 and higher Defect 273837: Nominal Standard Pipe OD greater than 900mm is not accepted during dimension library selection Description: AutoPIPE only accepts a maximum pipe standard dimension of 900mm, however the maximum standard flange OD in the flange analysis dialog exceeds this limit. Steps to reproduce: Certain nominal standard pipes sizes (e.g. >900mm) are not accepted by the flange dimension library (e.g. B16-47) when selecting the library. This is due to a floating point error found in the program (42" != 42.00001"). An error pops up showing the incorrect nominal pipe size. 1. Create any SI model with a 1066.8 mm (42") nominal diameter pipe 2. Add a weldneck flange to the pipe with a 300 pressure rating 3. Run the analysis and open the flange analysis dialog 4. Set the analysis method to ASME Section VIII div. 1 and navigate to the Flange tab 5. Set the Flange/Bolt Dimension dropdown to B16-47 A warning will pop up, stating that the nominal pipe size is invalid. Avoidance: Set the model input unit file to AutoPIPE, then set the outer diameter of the pipe in question to the appropriate standard OD. Finally, set the input units to the desired file. DO NOT touch the OD dialog again. Development Project: 11.1 and higher Defect 263628: Flange analysis is not performed for flange that are inserted on points already having extra data or attached to a valve / reducer: Description: When flange is inserted on a point that already has any type of extra data item then flange analysis will fail for flanges at that point. Steps to repeat: - Create a model with some run points. - Insert any extra data at a point. - Insert flange at that point. - Analyze the model. - Open Flange analysis dialog and run ANSI Check analysis for the flange. - Notice that "Max. Ratio" is set to zero and analysis fail. Avoidance: Insert flange first and then insert any other extra data item. OR - Delete all extra data items from point. - Insert flange - Insert the deleted extra data items back Development Project: 11.00 Enhancement 175524: Flange Analysis - Add Bolting Materials to library based on Size / Thickness values Description: Flange Analysis - Add Bolting Materials to library based on Size / thickness values. Example: Bolting material = SA-193-B8M-2 For ASME Section III - 2010, Table 3 has 4 different lines of data for this material based on Size / Thickness. The different Thickness ranges have different corresponding Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, and Allowable values based on temperature. The user would like all 4 added of these added to the program. Workaround: Until the library file has been updated, set Bolting Material = User and manually enter the correct values on the dialog. Development Project: TBD Logged: Feb 2015 Enhancement 95786: Add DIN EN 1092-1 to Flange Analysis Development Project: TBD Enhancement 68113: Flange Analysis: Include the Stoomwezen D0701 flange check Description: Add Stoomwezen D0701 flange check in the Flange Analysis module Development Project: TBD Enhancement 68103: Flange Analysis - Add API-6A Flanges in the database Description: Add API-6A flange sizes for use in both ASME and ANSI flange analysis calculations Development Project: TBD Defect 139054: Tracker#: 11051 Flange Analysis: 3000 psi limit on Operating pressure in the Loads tab Description: The Operating pressure can take large values and AP does not allow the values greater than 3000 .There should no Upper limit on the Operating Pressure Field.
