Canadian Piping code CSA Z662 is updated to CSA Z662 (2019). Refer to Piping Code Compliance section of CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.
New feature is added to perform Multi-level Response Spectrum Analysis in CAEPIPE. Refer to CAEPIPE Technical Reference Manual for details.
Seismic Displacements at Anchors and Nozzles can be input for all Piping Codes. When input, CAEPIPE solves it as a separate internal load case, the results of which are then added absolutely to static seismic and response spectrum load case results.
Option to select Facing Sketch 1(c) or 1(d) as per ASME Section VIII Division 1 - Appendix 2 is now included in Flange Qualification module. This module can be launched through Main Frame > New > Flange Qualification or Main Frame > Open > Flange Qualification files (*.flg).
Flange Equivalent Pressure calculation inside CAEPIPE (Flange Report in CAEPIPE Results) is now performed in accordance with Eq. 6.6.1-2 of EN 13480-3 (2020) when the Piping Code selected for Analysis is EN13480/BS 806/IGEM/Norwegian/RCC-M/CODETI/Stoomwezen/Swedish. For all other Piping Codes, Flange Equivalent Pressure is calculated in accordance with NC-3658.1 of ASME Section III Class 2 (2017). Refer to the section titled "Flange" in CAEPIPE Technical Reference Manual for details.
"Check bends" command available through Layout Window > Misc is updated to issue a warning message when the Bend Angle < 5 deg for Bends, Mitres and Jbends.
"Copy" command available through "Layout Window > Edit" can now remember elements copied for multiple paste by turning ON the option "Remember for multiple paste". Refer to the section titled "Copy" in CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.
"Paste" command available through "Layout Window > Edit" can now paste a group of elements including their data in the middle of a layout. Refer to the section titled "Paste" in CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.
CAEPIPE User's Manual, Technical Reference Manual, Code Compliance Manual and Verification Manual have been enhanced and updated to be in line with software version 11.00. Verification and Validation of Multi-level Response Spectrum Analysis by CAEPIPE have been performed against the USNRC Benchmark problems. These Manuals can be downloaded from the link www.sstusa.com/caepipe-docs.
New feature is added to define and import Limit Stop, Snubber and Skewed Restraint in local axis direction via MBF. Refer Appendix A in CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.
New feature is added to find and replace Level Tag for Supports through Layout window > Edit > Find and Replace.
New feature is added to change or assign Level Tag for Supports through Layout window > Edit > Change.
New feature is added to import Spectrum(s) and Spectrum Level(s) while Merging model with Spectrum(s) defined.
MBF format is updated to be compatible with CAEPIPE Version 11.00. See Appendix A of CAEPIPE User's Manual for details.
Bug Correction: For piping code = Z662 (2015), longitundinal stress (PD/4t) was getting added to Combined stress for buried piping.
Bug Correction: Spectrum values are not exported properly to CSV file through Spectrum List > File > Export.
Bug Correction: Wind code is exported as "NONE" instead of "0" when Wind profile is exported to MBF file. Hence, while importing the MBF file back, CAEPIPE was issuing an error message.
