Bentley AutoPIPE V8i is a stand-alone, engineering application for the calculation of piping stresses, fatigue stresses, fluid transient, bowing or thermal transient analysis, flange or pipe support design, and equipment nozzle loading analysis under static and dynamic loading conditions. In addition to 24 piping codes, AutoPIPE incorporates ASME, JSME, British Standard, European, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, GOST and WRC guidelines and design limits to provide a comprehensive analysis of the entire system.
This is a patch release for AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries 5 (v09.06.00.15, released October 2013) which includes several bug fixes including the following critical and major errors.
Critical Errors
* Temperature dependent data not updated on modifying temperature for points range * Different hot modulus value not used for analysis for points on the same pipe ID * Incorrect analysis results with imposed disp. or anchor movement on soil points
Major Errors
* Maximum expansion (EXP) added at moment level not associating thermal case * Thermal bowing: "Instantaneous expansion coeff. for NS materials" is not used * Absolute axial stress not used for calculating expansion stress for B31.3 (2012) * Ce factor and exposure category is not retained in UBC wind profile dialog
We want to sincerely apologize for the delay it required to release this patch. We continue to strive to provide quality products in accordance with our Nuclear Quality Assurance program approved to ASME NQA-1 and therefore must meet these rigorous standards which often requires a lot of effort in testing and verification.
Also included with this release is a new tutorial & sample model for the ISO 14692 FRP code.

New AutoPIPE Webinar Next Week: Understanding Piping Loads on Rotating Equipment Including Vibration Using AutoPIPE presented by Luke Andrew
Piping systems often include pumps, turbines and compressors. This webinar will describe how to model rotating equipment options accurately with AutoPIPE to within the design code allowables. These rotating equipment options cause vibrations in the piping systems which also need to be taken into account which AutoPIPE has the ability to model. Hear how Bentley AutoPIPE is the most productive design and analysis program for calculating piping code stresses, loads, and deflections under static and dynamic load conditions.

The Bentley AutoPIPE team is currently looking for Beta testers for our upcoming software. We will give you access to versions of the software that hasn’t been released to the public and ask you to test out our new graphical user interface, new code calculations, and new analysis features that will give you the tools to design in the oil and gas, power, offshore, and other markets.
An advantage of being a beta tester for us will be that our new features will be more inclined to work the way you want them to work with the valuable input you provide us. So if you want more say in how AutoPIPE will work in the future, please ask to join our list of AutoPIPE beta testers. Just provide your email in the replies below and I will get you added to the list.
Thanks for your help and I hope we can have some fun with all the new upcoming features!
