Following piping codes are updated. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.3 (2016)

• ASME B31.4 (2016)

• ASME B31.8 (2016)

UPDATED MATERIAL LIBRARIES: Material libraries for the following codes are updated. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.3 (2016); Properties for new material A587 is added now.

• ASME B31.4 (2016)

• ASME B31.8 (2016)

For PipingCode = B31.4 (2016), CAEPIPE by default combine stresses for Restrained piping based on Maximum Shear Stress Theory. Alternatively, user can configure CAEPIPE to combine stresses for Restrained piping using Maximum Distortion Energy Theory by defining an Environmental variable with name "DET_314" and setting its value to "YES". Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

For PipingCode = B31.8 (2016), CAEPIPE by default combine stresses for Restrained piping based on Maximum Shear Stress Theory. Alternatively, user can configure CAEPIPE to combine stresses for Restrained piping using Maximum Distortion Energy Theory by defining an Environmental variable with name "DET_318" and setting its value to "YES". Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

CAEPIPE Verification Manual have been updated to include three (3) Example problems given in Appendix S of ASME B31.3 (2016).

CAEPIPE Verification Manual and Code Complaince Manual have been enhanced and updated to be in line with software version 7.90. These Manuals can be downloaded from here.

Bug correction: If the computed value of (E x Alpha x Delta T) is equal to 0.00 for Restrained portion of Piping when Piping Code = B31.4 OR B31.8, then CAEPIPE was NOT printing the Restrained Stresses in Sorted Stresses and Code Compliance report.

Bug correction: In version 7.80 of CAEPIPE, when EN 13480 Material Library is opened, the piping code changed to Z662. This happened because of the addition of ASME Class 2 (2015) code in V7.80.

Bug correction: Defining the Specified Displacements in LCS for Anchor at a free standing node erased the model data from .mod file.

Bug correction: For Piping Code = Z662, Wind1 through Wind4 were not analyzed and reported in the results.

Bug correction: Editing valve data in Valve Library was not refreshing the valve library window properly.
