AutoPIPE Reviews & Product Details

AutoPIPE provides you with a comprehensive and advanced software tool specializing in pipe stress analysis. Increase your productivity and improve quality control with an intuitive modeling environment and advanced analysis capabilities. Ensure efficient workflows between pipe stress engineers, structural engineers, and CAD designers through interoperability with leading plant design applications. Take advantage of special features for advanced buried pipeline analysis, operational (hot) clash detection, wave loading, fluid transients, and FRP/GRP or plastic pipe, as well as time-saving integration with other Bentley and third-party applications such as OpenPlant, AutoPLANT, PlantSpace, Hexagon PDS and SmartPlant, Autodesk Plant 3D, and Aveva E3D Design. AutoPIPE automatically determines the optimal pipe support locations to satisfy your design requirements with the most cost-effective solution, without sacrificing quality or safety. AutoPIPE saves you time by enabling you to create, modify, and review piping and structural models and their results quickly and easily from a single interface. Save even more time by addressing static and dynamic analyses in one application offering advanced linear and non-linear analysis capabilities for temperature, wind, wave, buoyancy, snow, seismic, and transient loadings.

What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?

Is an incredible tool, but. If I imagine some improvements, probably I would add an additional hydraulic analysis.

I would add, FEM Analysis or, the way to export some parts to FEM Analysis, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"a user friendly software for both static and dynamic analysis of piping system"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AutoPIPE?

the best i really liked about the bentleys auto pipe is its user friendly tools unlike other stimulation softwares used in the industary , pretty easay to pick the tools and do the analysis, and report checking and documentation of reports are far better, and mostly real life precise values can be found out, snow loads and buried model analysis have more better stimulation than any software currently used in the industary.dont have to type all the load cases that also is solved by the software, modal analysis can be done pretty easily and the animation sequence give an exact idea of the stimulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?

the modelling part of the piping system is one not so much comfortable and user friendly like other softwares , as it is time consuming and have to select the tools everytime we model a spool.comparing with its competators modelling is somewhat hectic in autopipe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoPIPE solving and how is that benefiting you?

static and dynamic analysis of the piping systems are done on the software and i was really impressed and was very comfortable using the product,more real life precise values can be found out from the stimulation and static and dynamic analysis and report checking of the same had never been much easier, the siesmic,wind and snow loads that used in the autopipe will give exact values of stresses, forces and moments in the piping system.we dont have to give the load conditions manually over autopipe which i find very useful.

"Simply pipe stress analysis check"

4/5

What do you like best about AutoPIPE?

Easy to edit pipe properties, very easy and simple buried model pipe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?

No feature to input model from autocad and combine more than 1 model into 1 model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AutoPIPE:

I would to use autopipe to analyze stress of pipe than others because it very simple and helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoPIPE solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stress analysis of pipe is easy to modelling and understand.

The benefit is I don't have to analyze complicated FEM and it will shown in standard RAM laptop or PC with a short time result Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review on use of Autopipe for Pipeline Engineering analysis"

5/5

What do you like best about AutoPIPE?

AutoPIPE is a very much user-friendly pipeline analysis program where you can carry out shallow-water riser stress analysis, expansion spool analysis, stress analysis, etc., for offshore pipeline and piping. It is usually used in industry people for offshore piping/pipeline design and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?

The pipe-soil interaction module needs to be updated further for easy use for industry people. Number of non-linear constraints should increase if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for quick and reliable analysis"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AutoPIPE?

It links the potential problem to the paragraphs in ASME. It's quite precise and it helps a lot to identify if the model has been properly designed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?

Sometimes it crashes because of a mistake. Instead of checking the model first, it checks everything else and can lead to impossible or super long calculations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
