Following piping codes are updated. Refer to Piping Code Compliance section of CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.4 (2019)

• ASME B31.9 (2017)

• ASME B31.12 (2019)

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

• ASME B31.4 (2019)

• ASME B31.9 (2017)

• ASME B31.12 (2019)

Two (2) new load cases, Design (W+PD+TD) and Cold Spring (W+PD+TD) are added to include them in analysis, where PD = Design Pressure and TD = Design Temperature. Cold Spring (W+PD+TD) will be shown only when a cold spring (Cut pipe element) is input into the model. When these load cases are selected for Analysis, CAEPIPE will compute and show results for Displacements, Element Forces & Moments, Support Loads and Support Load Summary. These load cases are NOT included in Stress Calculations, Rotating Equipment Qualifications and Flange Equivalent Pressure Calculations.

New feature added to Copy and Paste the following Elements & Data Types through "List Command".

• Element Type: Valve, Bellowm Slip Joint, Hinge Joint, Ball Joint and Tie Rod.

• Data Type: Flange, Guide, Limit Stop and Skewed Restraint.

New feature is added to prevent Combine command from combining with the Location card.

New feature is added to detect and remove BLANK Space(s) from TAG of Supports (such as Anchor, Guide, Limit Stops, etc.) and Nozzle.

New feature is added to issue warning message when the "Flange Type" is not defined in the Flange input.

New feature is added to remember "show nodes" settings defined through "Graphics Window > Mouse right Click > Show nodes..." or "Graphics Window > View > Show nodes..." until the current CAEPIPE session is closed or the commands such as "Open or Open results or Open Recent Models" are selected.

Tag Name is now included for Limit Stop also in CSV output. Tag Names for other Support Types were already available in CSV output since CAEPIPE Version 7.40.

In TXT and CSV file output for Guides, "Connected To" and "Gap" information are now included.

Import MBF option is enhanced to read up to 500 characters from each line. Up to and including CAEPIPE Versions 10.10, this limit was 256 characters from each line.

New feature added to "Include or Exclude Wind" through "Loads" Section in MBF Import. See Appendix A of CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.

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 10.30. These Manuals can be downloaded from here.

Bug Correction: Pressure entered at P10 field was printed as Design pressure in output, when the Number of Thermal Loads is set as 10. This bug had no impact on any CAEPIPE calculations performed by previous versions.

Bug Correction: Rotational Bending Stiffness and Rotational Torsional Stiffness were not initialized properly for Ball Joints when they were left BLANK in input.

Bug Correction: In Nozzle Qualification module, allowable nozzle loads and moments values for Nozzle connected to Cylindrical Vessel were overlapping with the description in results view and printout. The above problem exists from CAEPIPE Versions 9.00 through CAEPIPE Versions 10.10.

Bug Correction: Issues error message "Invalid Nozzle Type" while importing mbf file that contains "Nozzle=5500" (Spherical Nozzle).
