Q. No Rotating Equipment (Pump, Compressor, Turbin) graphic component are in a AutoPIPE model, why?


Answer: 

As of June 2026, AutoPIPE does not have a specific Pump / Compressor 3D equipment element for representation within the AutoPIPE model. However, all legitimate rotating equipment entered are represented by a note bubble (as shown below).

The Rotating Equipment module conducts further calculations based on the existing piping geometry and loads that have already been modeled and analyzed, and it presents the results of these additional calculations in the output report under Equipment sub-report.

Once more, it should be noted all rotating equipment elements are represented by the note bubbles in and  AutoPIPE model.
