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

• DNV-ST-F101 (2021) - Submarine pipeline systems

• ASME Section III, NC - Class 2 (2023)

• ASME Section III, ND - Class 3 (2023)

Dynamic Susceptibility is updated as per the recommendation provided in Clause A.2.7 of SS EN 13480-3 2017/A3-2020.

New feature is added to perform Detailed Fatigue Analysis with applicable guidelines from ASME Section VIII Division 2 (2021).

Fatigue Curves corresponding to Figures 3-F.1 through 3-F.7 of ANNEX 3-F in ASME Section VIII, Division 2 (2021) are included in this version under "Fatigue_Curves" folder.

New feature is added to perform Simplified Fatigue Analysis as per the applicable Piping Codes.

New feature is added to input Nozzle Displacements in the Pipe Local Coordinate System (LCS).

New load cases for "Cold Spring + Design" and "Cold Spring + Empty Weight" are included when Cold Spring (Cut Pipe) is input in the stress model.

When Cold Spring is input in the model, descriptions for load combinations with Cold Spring are updated in Support Load Summary results.

New feature is added to differentiate Lateral Limit Stops from other limit stops like it was done for Vertical Limit Stop acting as a Resting Support.

New feature is added to include Bourdon Effect to Expansion Load Cases or Sustained Load Cases from inside of CAEPIPE instead of defining the Environmental Variable "BOURDONP". This can be performed through Layout Frame > Options > Analysis > Pressure.

New feature is added to Show Resultant Force (FR) and Resultant Moment (MR) in Support Load Summary for Anchor, Generic Support and Nozzle, and compare them against the Resultant Force and Resultant Moment input under User Allowables.

New feature is added to compute the additional weight due to Snow and Ice as detailed in Chapter 7 and Chapter 10 respectively of ASCE/SEI 7-22. The parameters required for Snow & Ice can be input through "CAEPIPE Layout Frame > Loads > Snow & Ice..." or "CAEPIPE Layout Frame > Misc > Snow & Ice - ASCE/SEI 7-22"

New module is added to evaluate "Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipeline" as per ASME B31G (2023). This module can be launched through CAEPIPE Main Frame > New > Remaining Strength Evaluation. Refer to section titled "Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipeline" in CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual as well as in CAEPIPE Technical Reference Manual for further details.

CAEPIPE can now import neutral files generated from CAESAR II versions up to and including Version 13.00 and Version 14.00.

Improved rendering algorithm for Ball and Hinge Joints.

Enhanced LCS plot in Graphics Screen to show lowercase "x", "y" and "z" instead of upper case "X", "Y" and "Z".

"Increase node numbers by" field in Generate command can accept up to 5 digit numbers.

CAEPIPE SSTLM Version has a new optional feature to communicate with SST License Manager via UDP Port in addition to TCP Port. This can be performed by defining an Environmental variable "PORT_TYPE" with its values as "UDP" in Server and Client machines. Refer to SSTLM User's Manual for further details.

MBF format is updated to be compatible with CAEPIPE Version 13.00. See Appendix A of 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 12.20. These Manuals can be downloaded from the link www.sstusa.com/caepipe-docs.

Bug Correction: When the Friction Force or Friction Torque is input for a Slip Joint, then non-linear iteration routine was not initialized properly.

Bug Correction: For ASME B31.1 (2020 & 2022), ASME B31.8 (2022), ASME B31.9 (2020), ASME B31.12 IP (2019) and ASME B31.12 PL (2019), Stress Range Reduction Factor (f) at 7000 cycles is computed as 1.0212 (= 6/N^0.2). Since the computed f value should be less than or equal to 1.0 for the codes listed above, it is rounded to 1.0 internally.

Bug Correction: For Piping Code = NONE, even though CAEPIPE versions 10.50 through 12.20 allowed the user to input specified displacements for Seismic, and similarly, CAEPIPE versions 12.00 through 12.20 allowed the user to input specified displacements for Wind, these specified displacements were not included in the CAEPIPE analysis. From version 13.00, a new feature is added to include these specified displacements in the analysis, the results of which are added "algebraically" to all other STATIC load case results.

Bug Correction: If the model contained ONLY Generic Supports, the Specified displacements input at Generic Supports under Seismic 1, Seismic 2 and Seismic 3 load cases were not included in the analysis. This bug exists in CAEPIPE Versions 12.00 through 12.20.

Bug Correction: SSTLM Version of CAEPIPE was altering the License information of a Borrowed License when the option Layout Window > Help > Renew / Repair Activation Key is selected.
