  • The Harmonic solver has been updated to provide damping. Harmonic analysis can now include or exclude damping as you deem necessary.

  • The following codes have been reviewed (and any necessary changes made) for compliance to the latest editions: B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B31.5, B31.8, NC, ND, and BS-806.

  • The following additional piping codes have been added: RCCM-D, CODETI, and TBK 5-6.

  • Center of Gravity calculations have been added with results displayed in the error checker.

  • A Bill of Materials report has been added.

  • Yield criterion stresses can be computed as either Von Mises or as 3D Maximum Shear Stress intensity.

  • Hoop Stress can be computed based on Outer Diameter, Inner Diameter, Mean Diameter, or Lame’s equation.

  • The spring hanger design spreadsheet has been modified to default to a 25% load variation. In addition, the actual hanger load variation now appears in the hanger output reports.

  • A new command (WIND) has been added to the structural steel preprocessor. This allows selective wind loading on an element by element basis.

  • A new key-combination Alt-D is available in the input processor to compute the distance between two nodes.

  • User-specified coordinates for up to 30 nodes are saved in the input file.

  • The input title page has been expanded from 19 to 60 lines.

  • Automatic node numbering abilities have been added to the spreadsheets of the main piping input module

  • Expansion Joint databases from IWK (Germany) are provided.

  • Expansion Joint database from Senior Flexonics is provided.

  • MISC converted to 32 bit operations. This module provides the SIF, Flange, WRC297, B31G, and expansion joint rating computations.

  • ROT converted to 32 bit operations. This module provides the equipment calculations for NEMA, API, and HEI. General revisions made for more consistent input screens and help messages.

  • A new report option (in static output) is available to review the miscellaneous computations made by the error checker. This report includes: SIFs and flexibility factors, pipe properties, nozzle flexibility data, wind data, CG data, and the bill of materials report.

  • The Intergraph Interface has been improved. The interface now transfers the temperature/pressure pairs. Additionally, if a material mapping file is present, material data can be set correctly by CAESAR II.

  • The CADPIPE Interface has been updated in accordance with CADPIPE Version 4.0.

  • The Restraint Summary in the static output processor has been modified to include the translational displacements of the restrained nodes.

  • The output processors (static and dynamic) have been modified to allow you to change the name of the disk output file if necessary. Additionally, modifications have been made so that only a single output device can be enabled.

  • All language files have been translated into German. Use “INSTALL /G” to acquire the German files.

  • A new control F8 at the output menu level allows switching jobs without returning to the Main menu.
