Design and analysis software for pipe stress
AutoPIPE is a state-of-the-art software application that uses advanced intelligence to perform complete analysis and design calculations for pipelines. Its main function is to determine the stresses, loads and deflections of pipes in response to different loading scenarios. This exceptional tool integrates a range of automation features and offers unmatched compatibility with other software applications, which distinguishes it from competition.
Model, analyze and visualize constraints in pipelines
Optimize productivity through a user-friendly and interactive modelling approach that focuses on the object within reach. Save valuable time and achieve uniformity through the seamless integration of AutoPIPE with the best intelligent 3D CAD platforms. Configure, evaluate and quickly visualize the results of different load scenarios, including thermal, seismic, wind and dynamic load cases (response spectra).
Check structural interoperability and stress collisions in pipelines
Improve the accuracy of your models by integrating the structural stability of the support system into the pipe model. This will result in a more accurate representation of existing facilities. In addition, transfer the loads of support reactions to STAAD.Pro for improved rendering. Conduct in-depth analyses of static and dynamic loading scenarios on pipelines and structures. Identify any operational stress changes within the pipelines and effectively identify collisions across the entire plant model.
Meet industry codes and standards
Ensure that your projects comply with key regulations for metal pipes in the United States (ASME) and Europe (EN). The software includes design criteria and restrictions established by API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, ISO and WRC. AutoPIPE allows the transparent calculation of the flexibility factors and stress intensification based on ASME B31J. This convenient feature is accessible via a simple check box.
