New module added to calculate allowable nozzle loads for nozzles to spherical and cylindrical shells as per European code EN 13445-3: 2009. This module can be launched through CAEPIPE Main Window > New > Nozzle Qualification.

New feature added to calculate local shell stiffnesses for nozzles connected to spherical shells.

New feature added for assessment of piping loads applied on nozzles on Rotodynamic Pumps as per ANSI/HI 9.6.2-2011.

New feature added to calculate Angular Stiffness of Bellows when the Axial Stiffness and Mean Diameter of Bellows are input.

New feature added to Find and Repeat Find text inside comments. This can be performed through View->Find Text (Ctrl+Shift+F). Repeat Find can be performed by pressing "Ctrl+F3".

Double clicking on a comment row will allow the user to edit/copy/paste strings from Windows clipboard.

New feature added for redefining a model's vertical axis without affecting the layout of the piping system.

Double clicking the left mouse button on any area inside the Graphics window redefines that area as the center point of graphical display.

New feature added to show stress units in color coded stresses plot.

New optional feature is added to change the graphic rendering of a Valve symbol. This feature can be enabled by defining an environmental variable with name "Valve_Symbol" by setting its value to "NEW".

Global Displacements shown in Support Load Summary results are now included in CSV output.

New feature added to check and skip the SIF value specified while importing a CAESAR II neutral file when the Branch SIF type is defined inside the file.

Bug Correction: Same Node numbers were repeated for all Beam Elements while displaying the Element Forces in Global Coordinate System for Beam elements. This bug affected only the screen display and not the output printing.

Bug Correction: CAEPIPE would freeze after analysis when a material was selected from a library created using CAEPIPE version 6.8 or earlier. This was due to the change in number of characters for Material name from 3 to 5.

Bug Correction: Hyperbolic tangent was used instead of arctangent for calculating rotation angle when the slope value was entered in Rotate elements command.

Bug correction: A wrong conversion factor was used while encoding and decoding the "Additional weight" values from CAEPIPE input module to .mbf output and vice versa. This bug went unnoticed as the same conversion factor was used to divide and multiply the "Additional weight" values from CAEPIPE to mbf and vice versa.
