Piping Code SS EN 13480-3 (2012) is updated to SS EN13480-3 (2017). Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

Pressure design of pipe and pipe fittings for internal and external pressure as per European Code EN 13480-3 (2012) has been updated to European Code EN 13480-3 (2017)

New feature added to compute Stress Intensification Factors (SIFs) and Flexibility Factors (FFs) as per ASME B31J-2017. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details on implementation.

New feature added to Refine Elements at Branches for calculating Flexibility Factors at Branches as per ASME B31J-2017. This can be performed through Layout Window > Edit > Refine Branches for B31J.

New feature added to include Empty Weight Load Case in analysis.

New feature added to input Axial and Torsional SIFs in User SIF for applicable codes.

New feature added to export Hanger Report to LICAD software. This can be done through "Results Window > File > Export..." while being in "Hanger Report" results.

New feature added to calculate Allowable Pressure using Design Temperature and compare against Design Pressure. These Design values can be input through Loads window.

New feature added to increase / decrease the symbol size. This can be done through Graphics Frame > View > Increase Symbol Size / Decrease Symbol Size or using Ctrl+Numpad8 or Ctrl+Numpad2 respectively.

New feature added to change DX, DY and DZ values for the specified rows through Change command. This can be performed through Layout Window > Edit > Change.

New feature added to output itemized element weights (Empty Weight, Fluid Weight, Additional Weight, Insulation Weight and Lining Weight) in BOM. This feature is available for output to Printer and .csv file. This feature is NOT available for .txt file output.

File dialog can now be resized to display the file details.

New feature added to output High Density (HD) rendered graphics. This can be done through Graphics Window > Print > Resolution > HD while being in Rendered Graphics mode.

CAEPIPE will now remember the Valve Library file last selected and will not prompt for opening every time when Valve Library option is selected.

Following Shortcuts are added for efficient modeling, editing and review of results.

• Layout Window

• F12 - Shortcut to execute Analyze command from Layout Window. F12 will work only when the .res file is not available for the stress model.

• Ctrl+G - Shortcut to execute "Generate" command in Layout Window.

• Graphics Window

• Ctrl+Shift+X - To view the Model in Global X direction (View X - 1,0,0).

• Ctrl+Shift+Y - To view the model in Global Y direction (View Y - 0,1,0).

• Ctrl+Shift+Z - To view the model in Global Z direction (View Z - 0,0,1).

• Ctrl+Shift+I - To view the model in Isometric (View ISO - 1,1,1).

• Results Window

• Ctrl+I - Shortcut to switch to Layout Window for editing from the Results Window.

• F12 - Shortcut to switch to Layout Window for editing while being in Layout Window opened through Results Window (i.e., Layout Window launched through Results Window > Window > Layout).

• Ctrl+D - Shortcut toggle to show/hide the deflected shape. Valid while reviewing the Displacements, Frequency and Mode shapes.

• Ctrl+Shift+A - Shortcut toggle to show/hide the animated deflected shape. Valid while reviewing the Displacements, Frequency and Mode shapes.

Bug Correction: Editing valve data in the Valve Library was not refreshing the List window properly.

Bug correction: For Ball Joints, CAEPIPE was not printing the values correctly in both 'yy' and 'zz' rotation columns in CSV output.

Bug correction: When an Anchor is defined in Global Coordinate System with Specified Displacement in Local Coordinate System, the variable is not initialized properly and hence was producing a large displacement.

Bug correction: For Piping Code = NONE, Elastic Modulus option selected was not shown in Analysis Option dialog.

Bug correction: CAEPIPE allowed the keyword "Title=" to be edited and/or removed from the first fixed row of stress model using Mouse double click. This made CAEPIPE to issue "Access Violation".
