Preliminary version of the European piping code prEN 13480 (2002) is now available.

Guide loads are now also available in global coordinates.

For ASME (86 92) codes, for unreinforced tee, the B2 index is now calculated according to NB-3683.8. Previously the B2 index was conservatively assumed to be equal to SIF.

For reinforced tee, the B2 index for both run and branch is conservatively assumed to be equal to SIF as before.

Presently pressure expansion (Bourdon effect) is treated as thermal expansion and applied to expansion (T) and operating (W+P+T) load cases.

If an environment variable BOURDONP is set (i.e. set BOURDONP=y), pressure expansion is not treated as thermal expansion (i.e. pressure expansion is treated as pressure expansion and applied to sustained (W+P) and operating (W+P+T) load cases.).

Bug correction: Caepipe would crash when a specified displacement was deleted by zeroing all displacements in the specified displacement dialog while the specified displacement list was shown.

Bug correction: Tie rod forces were not calculated correctly when the tie rod axis was not aligned with the global X-axis.

Bug correction: Beam end releases were not working correctly for Z vertical.

Bug correction: Zero length Beams would cause a crash in results while viewing beam element forces.

Bug correction: For FRP bend, specified bend SIF was not used, instead SIF = 2.3 was used.

Bug correction: Hanger report could not be printed to file when hanger type was Comet.

Bug correction: In results, the displacements shown on the screen would not change when the load case was selected using the menu or the load cases toolbar button.
