AutoPIPE Vessel

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...

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).

Sometimes is needed to increase locally the thickness of the vessel wall to reinforce the nozzles (under pressure load or external loads), instead of increasing the whole course or head thickness (for economic reasons). Simulating this local thick...

It is not possible to set 2.5 Convolutions (N). In some cases, I have to consider bellow with 2.5 convolution, but I cannot design as there is no option to enter this value.

Currently the straight flange portion of conical shell with knuckle cannot be specified in the conical shell UI, but a feature is proposed to include that in the UI as an input to model and create drawings and include in reports.

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...

Update the material database inclouding more grades of Titanium such as grade 12 that is highly used in the industry, also update EN13445 with Titanium, Nickel and similar alloys, joint efficiency and safety factors according to EN13445-9,10,11 an...

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 ...

Currently AutoPIPE Vessel considers both corrosion and tolerance for nozzle neck thickness calculation. A radio button to allow user to consider tolerance or not can be added in the nozzle dialog box.

Add the updated code case 2901 calculation to the flange checking options
