Bentley has released AutoPIPE Vessel 2025 (46.00.00.165). The Most Comprehensive Software for Pressure Vessel, Heat Exchanger, Air Cooler, and Tank Design Optimization.
What is New & Changed in AutoPIPE Vessel
The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the AutoPIPE Vessel 2025 (46.00.00.165).
Enhancements
Codes/Standards
- ASME VIII Div.1 - Appendix Y - Flat face flanges with metal-to-metal contact outside the bolt circle.
- NB/T 47041-2014 - Anchorage, Skirt-Head Junction and Skirt Openings.
- B36.10 & B36.19 2022 - Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe.
Calculation
- Analysis Selection dialog that expedites calculation by skipping subsequent checks like nozzles, flanges, support design, MDMT, etc.
- Summary table for geometry elements under internal pressure (required minimum thickness vs. selected thickness) added to the report.
- Lifting analysis and lifting accessory design without support calculations is now possible.
- Guides for vertical vessel supported on brackets.
- Linear loadings can be included as External loads. This leads to more accurate calculations and less effort than providing multiple point load inputs.
- Several obsoletes Codes and Standards are no longer supported:
. Pressure & Tubesheet Codes : CODAP 95 :1998 ; BS 5500:1997
. Bellow Code: EJMA 6th Edition 1993
. Flange Standard: ASME B16.5-1998/B16.47-1996
. Wind Codes: ASCE 1993/1995 ; British Standard CP3 Part 2 - 1972 ; UBC 1976/1982/1988/1991/1994
. Seismic Codes: ASCE 1993/1998; DIN 4149 - 1981; IS 1893 - 1984/1996; UBC 1976/1982/1988/1991/1994; Parasismique PS 69 - 1984
User Interface
- Change Nozzle dialog that allows the simultaneous edition of multiple nozzles’ properties and its comparison. Extension of old Change Nozzle Location feature.
- Analysis Selection dialog allows to bypass non required calculation at first pre dimensioning steps(enabled in Preferences).
- Summary table for geometry elements under internal pressure (required minimum thickness vs. selected thickness) can be displayed in the Results panel.
- Lifting accessories are an independent component with its own dialog and thus are now present in the list of components and in the 2D view.
- Guides dialog for vertical vessel has been moved into Support properties dialog.
- External loads dialog has been revamped. Linear loads can be defined. Loads corresponding to mass and internal components can be explicitly specified.
Drawings and Interoperability
- AutoCAD 2025 export.
- BricsCAD 2024 and 2025 export.
- SolidWorks 2024 and 2025 export.
Documentation
- Tutorial updated (more examples, includes the quick start guide …).
- Help - How To:
. Add a User-Made Block
. Understand Drawing Views
. Understand Dimensioning Sketches
