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.

• • Calculation / Report
    • #1452463: Vertical Heat Exchanger - Loose flange with Integral Tubesheet : test pressures are wrongly calculated.
    • #1488084: PD5500 saddles - head circular stress is not calculated with the correct head length.

    • #1500940: ASCE 7 - Seismic response coefficient should not be less than 0.01.
    • #1524868: GB150 - Opening on Flat Heads - the radius (groove or knuckle) is not considered correctly.
    • #1527576: Horizontal Full Jacketed Vessel - the volume of the inner heads is considered twice.
    • #1528104: Horizontal Vessel - Wind Load ASCE (2010 & 2016) - Loads Combination - 0.6 factor is not applied on wind loads.
    • #641603: Octagonal platform - the weight is not correct (conservative).
    • #1442856: API650 Tank - user spectra not allowing logarithmic interpolation.
    • #1452473: GOST nozzle neck MAWP is not calculated.
    • #1452516: Blast - allowable stress applied might not be exceptional allowable stress (External Pressure with blast overpressure).
    • #1452546: Local loads - WRC and AD M cylindrical shell circular stress is calculated using CODAP formula.
    • #1481482: EN13445 Fatigue Analysis - Flange on Nozzle weld - fatigue class is wrong.

    • #1452010: When no pressure/temperature defined on a chamber, there is no warning.
    • #1452480: MDMT - Pipe tolerance is not applied to calculate nozzle neck circular stress.
    • #1466931: CODAP - Head straight flange - Pmax and stress are calculated using only head material and diameter.
    • #1481982: EN 13445 - Radial openings with a diameter equal to the shell diameter generate an incorrect error message.
    • #1488061: PD5500 - Head - For test condition, tolerance of fabrication is not applied.
    • #1488074: Hemispherical head - neutral fiber alignment issue when head thickness is larger than attached cylindrical shell thickness.
    • #1488127: External pressure - Head - joint efficiency is applied in the report but must not be applied.
    • #1488158: ASME VIII - Head - UG-33(1)(a) Required thickness value is not printed correctly.
    • #1493430: ASME - Fatigue Analysis - External Forces an Moments issues (vertical vessel).
    • #1540114: Nozzle on Nozzle Blind Flange - the available length of the parent nozzle's reinforcement may be unnecessarily reduced.
  • User Interface / Others
    • #1441138: GUI: Stiffeners and Nozzles located on the internal chamber of a jacketed vessel with a conical shell are not correctly drawn in the 2D/3D views.
    • #1451252: GUI :Transition Opening - various issues fixed.
    • #1455123: GUI: Jacketed vessel - Nozzles located above the jacket closure show a wrong parent.
    • #1508075: GUI: Component Properties Dialog: Design Data - Material not saved for any component and Incorrect Pressure Bearing state for Boot.
    • #1508541: GUI: Nozzles - Chamber number is not updated after Move Action or Change Nozzle Location Option.
    • #1494212: 2D Drawings: Legs (Pipe type) - base plate location issue.
    • #1494736: 2D Drawings: Legs (W type) - Front view issue.
    • #1494980: 2D Drawings: Coils on Head - Front view issue.

• Customizable Files

NOTE: Version 3.6

• • • Config\flangeAS.emsd (Flanges ASME) (Updated)

How to Activate AutoPIPE Vessel ® 

 

Subscription Entitlement Service is Bentley's new licensing model, providing enhanced security and optimized value for your Bentley Subscriptions. It is integrated with Bentley's Identity Management System (IMS) and the Bentley CONNECT technology platform to allow near real-time reporting of usage, improved alert messaging to users and increased administrative capabilities to license administrators in your organization. It will not only give you more options to monitor and manage usage but also provide new, advanced licensing features that will enhance digital workflows.

Activation

With Subscription Entitlement Service, all users must be registered with Bentley's Identity Management System (IMS) and sign in to the CONNECTION Client to access Bentley applications. Product activation will now occur through user sign-in to the CONNECTION Client with a valid IMS ID associated with their account. User sign-in will replace traditional activation keys, offering enhanced security as administrators will be able to control which users have access to Bentley software. License entitlements are granted and maintained through Subscription Entitlement Service's Entitlement Management Service. By signing into the CONNECTION Client users can also find their organization's projects, download software updates, receive relevant notifications, and track their usage.

Alerts

Subscription Entitlement Service features the new license alerts notifications that can be set by an organization's license administrators to let the users know when they reach a set usage threshold. These notifications will alert the users that if they continue to use the product, a term license may be issued. The user in such a situation has the choice to quit the application before a license is used or acknowledge that a term license may be generated and proceed with starting the application, based on what settings the administrator chooses.
