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...

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

This option is only available when floating head heat exchanger is calculated, for normal vessels it is not possible to use a crown (hemispherical) head welded direct into a flange without knuckle or straight flange.

Greece is a country with high seismic behaviour. Many industrial projects are on going in Greece, it would be beneficial to add Greek seismic code.

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

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.

Generating drawings by DOS command or batch file can save the time to open .emvd files and many clicks in UI if I have multiple files to process. AutoPIPE Vessel data (.emvd) have been completed. For example, 10 .emvd files have been completed. Sp...
