Following piping codes are updated. Please see Annexure A from Readme_Supplement v6.0 for details.

B31.1 (2007)

B31.3 (2006)

B31.4 (2006)

Corrosion allowance, Mill tolerance, Insulation and Lining densities are carried forward for new section, if defined, while modeling.

New hot key (F3) is introduced for removing the Dots and Node numbers from the Graphics window simultaneously (for a cleaner looking image and printing purpose).

FRP Users can now define the Axial and Torsional allowables in the Material Property table and these will be used to compare against calculated stresses in "FRP Sorted Stresses."

During "Generate" command execution, CAEPIPE issues a warning and stops when it encounters a Node number that already exists.

In "List > Coordinates", View->Distance command can now compute the angles too for the line connecting two nodes (phi and beta, i.e., Angle in XY Plane and Angle from XY Plane) in addition to the distance.

LCS (Local Coordinate System) is now shown for Nozzle element. It can be accessed a few ways:

1. List (ctrl+L) > Nozzles > View menu > Show LCS, -OR-
2. List (ctrl+L) > Nozzles > Mouse Right Click on the listed Nozzle > Show LCS, -OR-
3. Results window > Support Loads > Other Support Loads > Nozzles > View menu > Show LCS, -OR-
4. Results window > Support Loads > Other Support Loads > Nozzles > Mouse Right Click > Show LCS.

Seismic Displacement and Rotation can be exported/imported via mbf using the comment SEIS(x,y,z) and SERO(rx,ry,rz) respectively.

Settlement Displacement and Rotation can be exported/imported via mbf using the comment SETT(x,y,z) and STRO(rx,ry,rz) respectively.

Lisega Hanger catalogue is updated to the latest version. See catalogue for details.
Available Hanger Numbers are 21 & 22
Ranges are 1,2 & 3
Types are 18 & 19

In Hanger Report for Lisega, size column will report as Hanger Number, Type and Range instead of Hanger Number, Range and Type. For example, hanger having a spring rate of 2.1 N/mm, vertical travel of 30mm with load 440N will be reported as 21D.193 instead of 21D319.

Materials, Sections and Loads Inputs are shown graphically using Color Codes in rendered graphics. Press the "Color Graphics" icon available in Materials, Sections and Loads List windows to execute the command.

Flange reporting is now available for "Piping code=None."

Improved algorithm to handle the memory and to pool the graphics while printing to avoid crashing of application.

Bug Correction: Width of Displacement screen was shrinking between Sustained and Other Displacement Results.

Bug Correction: Access Violation when importing models defined with Spectrum from 5.15 to 5.2x versions of CAEPIPE.

Bug Correction: Spectrum values from text file were not imported properly.

Bug Correction: Spectrum library created using 5.15 was not read by 5.2x.

Bug Correction: Flange reporting was performed for Maximum of Operating 1 and Operating 2 even when the Operating 3 was analyzed.

Bug Correction: Assertion Failure when turn OFF the "Hydrotest Load" from Loads menu.

Bug Correction: When the Operating condition (T3,P3) was input for a piping system with buried portion, support loads for (W+P3+T3) were not reported correctly in all earlier 5.xy versions of CAEPIPE.

Bug Correction: When the Hydrotest load was selected for Text/CSV file printing with Piping Code = ASME Class 2, the stress values corresponding to SL+SO was printed in Local Element Forces instead of SL.

Reported and Identified in Nov 2009: Bug Correction: When Piping Code = B31.3 (2002) was selected in CAEPIPE versions 5.15 to 5.22, flexibility character (h) for Welding tee was calculated using the equation "h = 4.4 T/r2". In CAEPIPE 6.0, this has been corrected to "h = 3.1 T/r2" as per B31.3 (2006).
