1. Modeling Techniques:
   
   • Insert a Boot
   • Goose neck nozzle out the bottom of a vertical vessel
   • Reinforcing pad placed on both shell locations of a vertical vessel
   • Skirt to a pressure vessel
   • Custom saddles
   • Standard raised face ring type joint flange
   • Specify circular weld
   • A boot to a vertical vessel
   • 2 rings supports
   • More than 4 vents in the skirt
   • Saddles with a stiffener ring
   • Vertical vessel for transportation in horizontal position
   • Platform to a horizontal vessel
   • A structural shape C for skirt attachments as per EN 13445-3 16.12.3.4 (Figure 16.12-3) and AD2000 S3/1
   • Multiple saddle in horizontal pressure vessel  
   • Flat head welded to wall per UW-13-2(d)
   • Cone shape skirt  
   • Connecting head directly to flange
   • Skirt stiffener
   • Weight of packing to the "lifting" load case
   • Longitudinal weld orientation
   • Different temperature zones for a vessel
   • Horizontal Vessel with jack 2/3 the distance around the outside 
2. Report issues:
   • Why are the weld class represented wrongfully in the output report
   • Flange rating in program does not match that in the report
   • Why are there no trunnions characteristics for our vessel in 's output report
   • Report option "Report determining case only" in the submenu "Report " appears to not be working correctly in
   • There is an empty page only instead of report after a calculation in output report, why
   • Why is Bolting Required area = 0 in report
   •  
3. Calculation issues:
   • Why are Shell and head wall thickness the same
   • What controls rounding-up the wall thickness 
   • For the combined loading calculation, how is the general stress intensity calculated
   • What methods are used to calculate the K factor from ASME VIII Div 1
   •  Can Auto Pipe Vessel design the guide support or calculate the reaction on the guide support and corresponding stress on the shell of the tall column
   • Saddles - Calculation of the horizontal longitudinal reactions (RaHL) When do the sliding saddles start to move
   • What fatigue calculations are performed
   • If dc = D2 was applicable to calculate λc only, can this relationship also be apply to equation 49 of GOST R 52857.3 n
   • Gasket and Bolt Calculation, what is DL in
   •  
4. Miscellaneous issues:
   • optimize Body flange design
   • Number of bolts required for design using
   • On Body flange tab, why the calculation of bolts is set by default on the dialog and then imposed by the code to calculate the section in the background thread
   • Why Corrosion Allowance on the Component Properties dialog in is grayed out
   • In the annex you will find a file for a vessel according to ASME VIII/2 under internal and external pressure. In the design report it is stated that the opening N03.1 is not adequately reinforced for external pressure.
   • Why does the Packing Weight summary have a different count than shown in the model view for
   •  When we compute a heat exchanger submitted to wind and earthquake and we select "report determining case only", APV print lifted and erected cases whereas when we print all cases, the determining case is operating.
   • Consequence of the input of the elevation in the dialog of the bracket or ring
   • get the nozzle orientation in a view not in a table
   •  What would be the best recommended saddle position for a horizontal vessel in
   • How can one change the deflection and rotation limits on columns (top and trays) especially for optimization of column design in an Model
   • How can we change reference point in AutoPipe vessel while designing pressure vessel
   • How AutoPipe vessel takes care of "After forming thickness" for different kind of pressure vessel "Heads"
   • In a vertical vessel model with a skirt, the bottom ellipsoidal head needs to be changed to a conical head, but is not graphically drawn correctly in ,  how to fix it
   • What is the critical value of half angle at skirt apex considered by the software for GOST code
   • What is the required thickness for the longitudinal stresses at the circumferential weld (ASME VIII UG-27(c)(2))
     
   • Do the horizontal seismic actions in come from the full weight in case (+), and in case (-) come from a reduced weight (reduced = 60% of weight)
   • What is the meaning of Design Conditions> Characteristics> Category Nominal Stress
