Capabilities
- Analyze and visualize pipe stress: Provide confidence in the safety of your engineering designs
- Check pipe stress displacements and clashes to Increase plant model accuracy
- Comply with industry codes and standards
- Design, model, and analyze 3D piping systems
- Reference structural model for pipe stress analysis
Analyze and visualize pipe stress: Provide confidence in the safety of your engineering designs
Provide confidence in the safety of your engineering designs with static and load sequencing nonlinear analysis. Perform analyses to examine different loading scenarios including thermal, seismic, wind, and dynamic load cases. Instantly view stresses, deflections, forces, and moments.
Check pipe stress displacements and clashes to Increase plant model accuracy
Increase plant model accuracy by determining pipe stress displacements due to loading cases such as temperature, seismic, or other extreme loading conditions. Analyze any loading condition applied to piping and structures then use Navigator or OpenPlant Modeler to evaluate and resolve clashes
Comply with industry codes and standards
Ensure your projects comply with more than 30 global design standards across the power, nuclear, offshore, chemical, and oil and gas industries. Incorporate ASME, British, European, French, Japanese, Russian, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, ISO, and WRC guidelines and design limits.
Design, model, and analyze 3D piping systems
Design, model, and analyze 3D piping systems to international piping specifications based on parametric component catalogs. Integrate the 3D piping model with pipe stress analysis tools to increase design quality and design productivity. Improve the overall engineering integrity and quality of piping models
Reference structural model for pipe stress analysis
Reuse design data by creating a structural model in STAAD or SACS and import it into AutoPIPE for a more realistic, fully integrated, bi-directional piping and structural analysis. You can also import the final piping model, complete with pipe support loads, into the Bentley STAAD or SACS model.
