Bentley Releases AutoPIPE XM Edition
 EXTON,
Pennsylvania, February 1, 2007 – The just-released XM edition of
Bentley AutoPIPE—which allows structural engineers and piping designers
to calculate piping code stresses, loads, and deflections under both static
and dynamic loading conditions—provides improved productivity and increased
interoperability with other computer-aided design (CAD) products. AutoPIPE
analyzes systems of any complexity, with special features for buried
pipeline analysis, wave loading, water or steam hammer, FRP/GRP pipe and
built-in pipe/structure interaction.
New features of AutoPIPE XM Edition include:
- The ability to create an ISOGEN-based automatic stress isometric to
exchange both digital plotting and design data with multidisciplines in
different offices or with offshore contractors (isometric can be
customized with version control, annotation, configurable drawing
settings, and reference equipment)
- The ability to view an AutoPIPE stress model and major 3D CAD models
(including engineering data) together for clash detection and early
design decisions using Navigator XM, Bentley's visualization tool based
on MicroStation V8 XM Edition
- A major update to popular process piping code ASME B31.3 :2005,
including new appendix P alternative stress calculation and code case
178, along with nuclear code updates to ASME III NC & ND.
- Enhanced Excel-style spreadsheets for improved custom printing,
sorting, and filtered data for faster and more accurate checking to
ensure safe model integrity
- CAD support tags, which provide common exchange information on a
stress isometric, report, or on-screen graphics
- Thermal bowing analysis for partially filled hot liquid pipelines or
sun heated gas pipelines in hot climates.
- New reference point to evaluate actual deadweight, temperature, and
seismic loadings on vessels, pumps, turbines, compressors, and so on to
meet actual manufacturer equipment limits
AutoPIPE XM’s compatibility with
MicroStation
V8 XM Edition means that it can be easily integrated with a wide range
of other CAD tools. This allows organizations to establish common data
exchange metrics and improve performance.
Moreover, standardizing with AutoPIPE XM creates efficiencies by making
processes more uniform and repeatable. This leads to higher productivity,
faster delivery, and fewer errors.
AutoPIPE is a complete, high-quality pipe stress solution capable of
addressing oil, gas, petrochemical, offshore, and nuclear applications. With
29 international piping codes, 21 spring manufacturers and a full-featured
set of static, dynamic and advanced analysis features, AutoPIPE is a leader
in low-end to high-end pipe stress analysis projects, including pipe support
and equipment design.
AutoPIPE's rigorous quality assurance program has passed numerous
independent on-site audits to 10CFR50 App. B, ASME NQA-1, and ANSI N45.2
standards. This makes AutoPIPE one of the few PC-based pipe stress programs
approved for use in nuclear safety applications.
