Piping code B31.3 is updated to B31.3 (2004). Refer Appendix-A of ReadMeSupplement_515.pdf for more details.

Buried (Restrained) Piping Stress calculation is now available for B31.8 (2003). Refer Appendix-A of ReadMeSupplement_515.pdf for more details.

ISO standard sections are now included in CAEPIPE.

Material properties of B31.3 (existing materials in B313.mat) are updated in accordance with B31.3 (2004). The new material library is named as B313-2004.mat

Material library for EN13480 is now included in CAEPIPE.

Grinnell (Anvil International) hanger catalog has been updated to include two new ranges, Triple and Quad.

Maximum number of elements permitted in a CAEPIPE model is increased from 5000 to 7000.

New feature added to print .CSV file with Forces, Stresses and Sorted stresses for FRP piping.

Bug Correction: Skewed Restraint with 'Connected To' node garbled the image during zooming operation.

Bug Correction: Component directions were not printed correctly in Support loads output screen for skewed restraints.

Bug Correction: Snubbers were not turned ON for seismic displacement case and hence seismic displacements were not included in "Snubber Loads" calculations.

Bug Correction: Access Violation error occurred when user tried to define a flange without defining the section properties.

Bug Correction: Closing the OPTIONS dialog changed the piping code to 'Default', when user selected the piping code as 'NONE'.

Bug Correction: CAEPIPE issued error message during mbf import when both lower and upper limits of limit stop equaled 0.00.

Bug Correction: Elements defined using absolute coordinates in the layout were not Exported/Imported properly through .mbf file.

Bug Correction: When piping code = B31.1 (2004) and B31.8 (2003), Liberal Allowable Stresses option was not turned ON and was not editable for CAEPIPE models developed using CAEPIPE versions earlier than 5.13. Please note, as per the current requirement of these codes, this option should always be turned ON, which CAEPIPE sets automatically.

Bug Correction: In FRP Stresses reported, the pressure term was included under hoop (pd/2t) and axial stress computations (pd/4t) for "pure" WIND and SEISMIC load cases.
