The most powerful tool to do flexibility analysis, easy, intuitive, save time, Best interoperability **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carlos R. | Structural Software Trainer/Civil Engineering Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoPIPE?** Easy to use. Interoperability with other brands. Interoperability with STAAD.Pro, for Support structural analysis. You can do Support optimization. You can model Buried Pipes, and more. **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, **What problems is AutoPIPE solving and how is that benefiting you?** Multidisciplinary projects where we have Structural+Piping, STAAD+AutoPIPE save a lot a LOT of time. Is very fast, and powerful this communication. Projects could be ready in few days. ### 2. accurate and friendly use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** hatem m. | onshore pipeline engineer designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2022 **What do you like best about AutoPIPE?** Autopipe is friendly use to input data and modify it especially for soil and metallic piping/pipeline Updated codes and std. **What do you dislike about AutoPIPE?** material library for non metallic and flanges need to be more clear and more friendly in addition to large pipe sizes **What problems is AutoPIPE solving and how is that benefiting you?** Issuing isometrics with material based on stress model helps very mush at site. ### 3. a user friendly software for both static and dynamic analysis of piping system **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** adarsh k. | piping stress analysis engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2021 **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. **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. **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. ### 4.
