The Bentley product team is pleased to announce the availability of AutoPIPE Vessel CONNECT Edition V41 Update 2 (build 41.02.00.005). The Most Comprehensive Software for Vessel Pressure, Heat Exchanger, and Tank Design Optimization.

CONNECT Edition v41 Update 2 (Build 41.02.00.005 - Date: 2019-06)

The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the CONNECT Edition v41 Update 2 of AutoPIPE Vessel Build 41.02.00.005.

Enhancements

Saddles Support

- Added base plate thickness calculation. The calculation procedure is based on bearing pressure method as explained in Dennis Moss Handbook (4TH edition).

User Interface: Tube Bundle Layout Design

- Added a new panel with a tree view to select and visualize the bundle components like tie rods and spacers, sliding rails, sealing strips, sealing rods, partition plates and impingement baffles.

User Interface: Miscellaneous

- Added a feature to select ASME VIII Division 2 class 1 or class 2 code (the 2 classes are based on different rules and allowable stresses) for analysis.

AutoPIPE Vessel

provides you with cost-effective and accurate design of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and air coolers. Reduce mistakes and time consuming manual revisions. Ensure greater efficiency with your supply chain and improved collaboration with engineering companies. Increase your efficiency through fully automatic vessel design optimization under all installation and operating conditions.

Increase productivity and provide accurate design for the safe operation of vessels under all loading conditions for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and air coolers. Achieve compliance with regional and global standards, including pressure vessel design codes from the past 10 years and regional wind, seismic, wave, and blast-loading codes. Improve flexibility for re-rating and revamping existing vessels. You can design for both brownfield and greenfield projects, and shorten design time and rework by eliminating guesswork. Ensure confidence in vessel design and improve your competitiveness through higher design quality.

This video features a SolidWorks 3D model generation from AutoPIPE Vessel. AutoPIPE Vessel automatically creates parametric 3D models of designed vessels. Individual component details are created and proper assembly mating features are all automatically modeled and hence what you get is a content rich, comprehensive 3D detailed model with intelligent data that can be further processed for completion of the engineering work.
