Problem:

What file formats can AutoPIPE Vessel import?

Answer:

AutoPIPE Vessel can save a model as different file types using:

1. File > Open> command:

a. AutoPIPE Vessel Data (*.emvd)

b. AutoPIPE Vessel Project specification (*.empd)

2. Import> command:

a. PDS to AutoPIPE Vessel - (*.noz)

b. Structural Clips - (*.doc) or (*.xls)

c. Piping Clips - (*.doc) or (*.xls)

d. Local loads on Nozzles - (*.doc)

e. AspenTech to AutoPIPE Vessel - (*.edr) or (*.taf)

f. HTRI Xchanger to AutoPIPE Vessel - (*.dbo)

g. Prosim EXCH to AutoPIPE Vessel - (*.xml)

h. Honeywell UniSim STE to AutoPIPE Vessel - (*.stef)

Note: as of Jan 2016, is not possible to import the geometrical data of a 3D model (Solidworks), please check back for future version ability

If a specific format is not listed above (i.e. ANSYS) AutoPIPE Vessel cannot import that type of file at this time. See the 2 available options:

1. use another application to convert your file into a format that is listed above for AutoPIPE Vessel to import.

2. Log a service request for the missing format to be imported. The more request for a feature, the quicker the feature will be added to the program.
