The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the AutoPIPE Vessel 2024 (45.00.00.133).

  • Enhancements
    • General
      • Model (.emvd) version handling. From now on backward compatibility is assured by having the option to save in an older model version. In this new release, only conversion between version 6 (v45) and 5.2 (v44) is possible, other versions will be added depending on future developments. For older software versions (v43 and before), 5.2 should be chosen. Version 6 is only compatible with v45 software onwards.
    • Codes/Standards Update
      • ASME 2023 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code - Section VIII, Div.1 & Div.2 (ONLY calculations update, material update coming soon in next update).
      • French Design Code CODAP 2022 update.
      • Implementation of NB/T47041 Seismic load, par. 7.5 for vertical vessel on skirt as per Chinese standard.
      • EN 1092-1:2018 Flange standard update.
    • Interoperability
      • Generate DWG drawings without AutoCAD/BricsCAD. Users do not need AutoCAD/BricsCAD license anymore to generate .dwg drawing files. image [Technology Preview]
      • Added support for AutoCad 2024 export.
      • Option to export to AutoCAD 2017 to 2018 versions discontinued. Export to AutoCAD 2019 versions or newer are only supported.
      • Option to export to SolidWorks 2010 through 2017 versions discontinued. Export to SolidWorks 2018 through 2023 versions are only supported.
      • Implementation of Chinese saddle standards based on NBT 47065.1-5 2018 (3D MicroStation and 3D IFC).
    • User Interface
      • Replacing tabbed dialog boxes with wizards for creating new models (Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers).
      • "File > Open" Dialog updated to allow quick access to example folder, config folder and working directory.
         
  • Defects
    NOTE: Problems described below represent specific issues with specific test cases. It is difficult to succinctly describe a problem and how it impacted the specific test case. If you have any questions about the issues discussed in this report, please contact technical support.
