Piping code ASME B31.3 (2016) is updated to ASME B31.3 (2018). Refer to Piping Code Compliance chapter in CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

New piping code ASME B31.12 (2014) is added. Refer to Piping Code Compliance chapter in CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

New piping code IGEM (2012) is added. Refer to Piping Code Compliance chapter in CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

NEW MATERIAL LIBRARIES: Material libraries for the following codes are added. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.3 (2018)

• ASME B31.12 (2014)

New feature is added to review First-level compliance checks. This can be performed through Results Window > Results > First-level checks. Refer CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.

New feature is added to Export Deflected Geometry to PDMS/E3D and CADMATIC. This can be performed through Results Window > File > Export to 3D Plant Design while being in Displacements Results.

New Hanger catalog "Gradior" is added. Refer http://www.mps-gradior.cz/storage/uploads/download/id22/kat%20EN.pdf for Hanger Catalog.

For Piping Code = NONE, Buried Piping Analysis is now included.

Model Batch File (MBF) is updated to the latest version of CAEPIPE. Refer Section titled "Import MBF" and "Export MBF" from Appendix A of CAEIPE User's Manual for details.

New feature is added to Export MBF file compatible from Version 6.80 through Version 10.00. This option will help user to have backward compatibility with earlier versions of CAEPIPE. This can be performed through Layout Window > Export to MBF > Model batch file 6.xx format (*.mbf).

User can now define the Split Element Length for Run and Branch pipe using a Run split factor and Branch split factor while refining branches for applying SIFs and Flexibility Factors (FFs) as per ASME B31J through Layout Window > Edit > Refine Branches for B31J.

Improved Algorithm to compute Stiffnesses for Run Pipe and Branch Pipe at the Branch SIF node when the option ASME B31J is turned ON through Layout Window > Options > Analysis.

Internal Pressure Design and External Pressure Design calculations as per EN 13480-3 have been enhanced to include Thickness of Bend and Miter defined through Bend Dialog and Miter Dialog respectively.

CAEPIPE User's Manual, Technical Reference Manual, Verification Manual and Code Compliance Manual have been enhanced and updated to be in line with software version 10.10. These Manuals can be downloaded from here.

Bug Correction: User Allowable Dialog was not showing the Units for Moments.

Bug Correction: Soil restraints are not initialized properly for Operating Load Case 4 through Operating Load Case 10 for stress models with non-linearities (such as Limit Stops, Friction and Gaps) when all the three Operating Cases 1, 2 and 3 are NOT turned ON through Layout Window > Loads > Load Cases. Eventhough this bug exists from CAEPIPE Version 7.00 through Version 10.00, it has not affected the results as Operating Case 1 is always turned ON for analysis.

Bug Correction: Cone Angle was not computed properly while computing Reducer SIF for ASME B31J option is Turned ON.

Bug Correction: For EN 13480 (2017), Buttweld SIF was not computed properly when the nominal wall thickness of pipe is less than 5 mm.
