AUTOPIPE V8I FUNDAMENTALS

 
 
Course Type:
Classroom Learning: Hands-on
Course Description:

Products Covered: AutoPipe

Target Audience: Plant Engineer; Structural Engineer

Intended for new or existing users, students acquire knowledge about stress analysis and begin to use Bentley AutoPIPE successfully on a project. Students learn how to model and solve stress analysis problems.

It is not the intent of this course to teach piping code or stress analysis. There are several piping code specific classes offered by ASME that would be beneficial to the student prior to taking this course.

Learning Objectives:
  • Learn about AutoPIPE capabilities, and new enhancements to the current version.
  • Learn about the supported piping codes and the difference between the different editions of the program.
  • Learn how to create piping segments, add bends, tees and length units.
  • Learn how to use the keyboard commands.
  • Learn how to do some basic model building for a simple model with anchors, supports, and expansion loops.
  • Learn how to define pumps and produce pump reports.
  • Learn how to use the copy, paste and rotate operations.
  • Learn how to use wind, earthquake and nonlinear analysis, and also show nozzle thermal movement and support lift-off.
  • Learn how to model nozzle flexibility, cut short and trunnion supports.
  • Learn how to model flexible joints, short radius elbows and elbows with larger pipe thickness.
  • Learn how to review a model that does not satisfy the given piping code, identify the causes of overstress and add supports or loops to fix the problem.
Course Topics:
  • AutoPIPE capabilities and new enhancements
  • Supported piping codes
  • Creating piping segments, adding bends, tees and length units
