Factors multiplying the wind and seismic loads need to be adjustable by user. Example below in red box shows Load combinations for wind load. Currently this combination is hardcoded in the program.

A summary table will be presented in the main user interface which will list the components (like shell, head, nozzle, cone body flange etc.) along with the corresponding calculated stresses, allowable stresses, calculated minimum required thickne...

It should be possible to impose a weld bead dimension in the "brackets and lifting accessories" masks. This value is set at 0.7 x the minimum thickness of the shell or wear plate. In the case of large thicknesses, this results in an unfeasible wel...

On many occasions, we find horizontal vessels that can be suspended from the ceiling. saddles should be able to be placed on the top of the equipment and should be calculated in traction and not compression.

For projects in Spain, engineering companies request the Spanish wind code CTE DB-SE-AE. The Spanish wind code that is implemented in autopipe vessel is old.

Nowadays, for corrosion in the saddle bolts be considered, you have to mark "corroded weight" (see https://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/w/pipe_stress_analysis__wiki/69792/26-why-corrosion-allowance-is-not-taking-in-conside...

Nozzles design: Please provide an opction that considers the alternative calculation method when there is an insert forged pad

In the case of sketch f) of table 4, the factor C can rise to 0.45 if s > 3 s1. Nowadays, there is no way to get C = 0.45 with the models of flat heads offered by Autopipe Vessel.

Add compressive stress calculation according to EN13445 16.14.8 instead of PD5500 when the calculation code is EN. Allow calculation to be selected manually. Also provide control on factors relevant to calculation such as Cx, Cbx, Q, Tolerance cla...

API650 tanks can only be calculated with ASCE, sometimes it is required EN norms for wind and seismic design
