Select a single radio button

Depending on your licenses available in the License Management Tool, select the appropriate AutoPIPE Vessel Edition radio button.

Demo:

After installation, AutoPIPE Vessel will run in Demo Mode until it is properly authorized. To ensure compliance with the terms of your purchase agreement, a security system is utilized. All software authorization for new Bentley products is handled by the Bentley Security Manager.

When Demo mode is selected the program will NOT allow the following commands:

- Save the model

- Use Calculate Strength

- Generate Drawings

- Perform Cost Estimation

- Add-on codes

These features are only available in the full Vessel or Vessel Enterprise licensed version.

Again, users can create any type of vessels in the UI but they cannot be saved, In addition, users can open an existing model in the UI, but you cannot run Strength Calculation.

Pressure Vessel (Standard):

Only a limited amount of the program features can be used, select link here for features available with this level of licensing enabled.

In addition, Enable this check-box to utilize all Pressure Vessel Codes and Vessel types except Heat Exchangers.

Important: Shell & Tube heat exchanger can only be modeled with an Ultimate or Heat Exchanger license and not a Standard license. Users can create a model even if it is not valid with the Heat Exchanger license; however, the model cannot be saved and the calculation cannot be performed.

Heat Exchanger:

This license type will enable users to get all the benefits and features (see link here) of heat exchanger module without paying for the more expensive Ultimate license option.

If you are not signed into Connection Client and do not have the correct entitlements on BLT, users can create a model even if it is not valid with the Heat Exchanger license; however, the model cannot be saved and the calculation cannot be performed.

Ultimate:

All program features and all Add-on design codes will be available with this level of licensing, see link here for completely list.
