MANDATORY APPENDIX 13 VESSELS OF NONCIRCULAR CROSS SECTION Rectangular cross section vessels.

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 ...

Sometimes designers want to create a custom flange specially for large diameter nozzle which can then be checked as a body flange (Appendix 2 etc.). Currently this can be done as a separate model but an option to include custom flange to a nozzle ...

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).

Please can we update the API 650 calculations as well as the user interface. Africa is booming in storage of petroleum. This means we need API 650 more and more here. AutoPIPE can have the edge here compared to other softwares. We can use it as a ...

Please could we add the latest additions of PD 5500 to the design standards. In South Africa, the competing design codes are ASME and PD due to the selection of materials that our legislation permits. As a result, ensuring that Bentley AutoPIPE Ve...

We have noticed that the software systematically considers all jackets as type 2 in the jacket closure calculation following PD 5500. We need you to integrate the concept of type 1 jackets in the next version to facilitate support for this type of...

It would be useful for users to have the option of not displaying the “Detailed characteristics of the equivalent beam model” paragraph in the calculation report when a wind/seismic analysis is performed. Indeed, in "Vessel properties", tab "Repor...

In the case of horizontal vessels, it must be possible to lock both sadles in order to carry out a correct calculation under transport conditions (taking into account longitudinal acceleration on both sadles).
