Currently, AutoPIPE Vessel uses a default air density of 1.225 kg/m³ for wind load calculations. However, air density can vary based on the geographic location of the equipment. Therefore, I request that this value be made an input parameter inste...

MDMT Calculation for the floating head components (cap, flange, split ring, floating tubular plate, etc.) does not appear only external body MDMT calculated. Please add MDMT Calculation for the floating head components
When calculating earthquakes for pressure equipment, need to add design according to paragraph 3.2.2.5 of EN 1998-1.
This would allow the design to consider a reduced design spectrum relative to the elastic range.
Implement FFS as per API 579. Parts of API 579 include: 1 – Introduction
2 – FFS Engineering Evaluation Procedure
3 – Brittle Fracture
4 – General Metal Loss
5 – Localized Metal Loss
6 – Pitting Corrosion
7 – Blisters, HIC, and SOHIC Damage

Design of Base Plates for Legs as per Pressure Vessel Design - Denis Moss - Procedure 4-12
The current approximation of considering the loads at the legs-shell junction is no longer justified since the implementation of the detailed calculation of the legs. But a new method to check the base plate of legs must be implemented (See: Denis...

Use of EN 1991 code with British National Annex (BS EN 1991) in Wind Code Selection
When selecting the wind code in Autopipe Vessel v45.00.02.004, it is not possible to select the EN 1991 code with British National Annex (BS EN 1991), but there is only an option to select the EN 1991 code.
The British national annex provides ...
Currently only full penetration welded nozzle can be designed, this feature will enable users to design and perform nozzle opening reinforcement calculations for partial penetration nozzle weld.
Expansion Bellows - Option to choose the "as formed" and "Annealed" bellows
Need to add an option to consider "as formed" and "annealed" bellow This will impact on following parameters and user can choose as per their requirements, ASME Km & Kg factor ASME factor 2.3 or 0.75 for Sy* EJMA Cm factor
A tall vessel or column is normally designed with a particular liquid level. It would be very helpful if a new user case can be defined allowing to calculate full of liquid (which is not water, it is not the same as hydrotest).
Body Flange Thickness (g0) Vs Shell thickness - Vs Allowable values
When we have a bogy flanged implemented in a cylindrical shell we need to define a thickness for shell and a thickness for flange (g0). Normally the both thickness are the same and the software only take into account the shell value for internal p...
