Description
Bentley AutoPIPE Vessel V8i is a stand-alone, Engineering application for the comprehensive calculation of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and air coolers to ASME, European, French CODAP, German ADM,and Russian GOST standards. It is the only program to perform truly optimized vessel design in minutes and produce fully automated detailed drawings and cost estimates.
This is maintenance release 3 for AutoPIPE Vessel V8i which includes several bug fixes.

Defects
- #134847: Calcul: Fireproofing and insulation might not be taken into account for some wind calculation
- #74155: Fatigue analysis: remove time scale unit, add the possibility to enter a total cycle number manually.
- #99887: The boot component default temperature is not the temperature of the component containing the boot.
- #101376: ASME Div.1: self-reinforcing nozzle with an angle of the reinforcement equal to 0°, A5 area is not calculated.
- #133390: Wrong external pressure curve for SA537CL2 (the choice of the curve depends on the thickness)
- #79520: MDMT for tubesheet (Integral with Shell or Channel) not calculated (CODAP, EN13445)
- #82325: Ambiant Yield stress for CODAP anchor is used for the Operating and Shutdown cases.
- #84800: Calculation of flanged part of tubesheet for DEU (in differential pressure, the flanged part was calculated with the shell side pressure).
- #87707: GOST R 52857.7 - tubesheet equivalent pressure (pp) uncorreclty calculated
- #87710: GOST - Flange cover incorrectly calculated (Ykp value).
- #88425: Weight of saddles of stacked exchangers (when saddles geometry are the same, weight are different).
- #95015: GOST flange and cover under external pressure (calculation crash).
- #103341: Calculation of weld seams and metal equiv. for brackets support
- #130242: MAWP Cone calculation according to CODAP 95
- #132896: wrong fillet thickness for pass partition plate (TEMA RCB 9.133)
- #115575: Incorrect allowable stress for bolts (as Per 2011 ASME Sec IID, SA193B8 Gr2 bolt allowable stress for 1-1/4 in or M27 is 112 MPa (20,000 psi) ).
- #87744: Fatigue Analysis cycles (time calculation for cycles definition)
- #136580: Selection of an anchor bolt diameter for vessel supported by brackets
- #146996: Wrong wind for vessel on brackets if wind and earthquake in ASCE (the wind load calculating is different of the wind load applied on the vessel ).
- #125486: External Pressure on a Cylindrical with a Skirt connected on the junction of a conical shell (the skirt thickness is taken into account to calculate the minimum thickness of the section)
- #148190: Crash in Fatigue Analysis (when a lot of vertex are inputted).
- #123241: BHU heat exchanger type: the drawing of the impingement plate/rods is not correct in the 3D render view
- #119515: Use of AutoPIPE Vessel on the second monitor (toggle 2 screens to 1 screen when the UI was in the second screen)
- #146996: Wrong wind loads for vessel on brackets when Wind and Earthquake are according to ASCE
- #155771: Anchorbase designed as a component: program crash if using GOST or CODAP code.
