User Comments
{"...the ability to model quickly and perform quick iterations saves the client money and allows for a more readily optimized solution that everyone involved is more pleased with, in the long run." }
Marcus Casserd, Anvil Corp., CAEPIPE user for over twenty years
{"I licensed CAEPIPE for its user-friendliness and flexibility ... in CAEPIPE, I can model twice as fast." }
Kyle Schmidt, Fiberglass Structural Engrg., CAEPIPE user for seven years
Pipes, Elements and Supports
Model straight pipes, elbows, bends, valves, concentric and eccentric reducers, tees, miters, rigid elements and more. External insulation and internal lining can be specified for pipes.
| • | Model expansion joints such as slip, ball, hinge, bellows (tied and untied), gimbal, and universal joints. |
| • | Model Jacketed pipes and jacketed bends - specify separate temperatures and pressures, separate materials and sections for core and jacket pipes. Spiders and endcaps can be specified, too. |
| • | Model cold springs, cut short or cut long. |
| • | Model beams and support structures. You can specify beta angles and end releases for beams. Shear deformation for beams is included, too. |
| • | Support/Restraint types: Model anchor blocks, spring hangers, clevis hangers, constant support hangers, rod hangers, guide/pipe slide assemblies, sway braces, sway struts, vertical 1-way supports, 2-way restraints, U-Bolts,U-straps, clamps etc., using generic rigid/flexible support types. Model anchor and nozzle movements (thermal, seismic and settlement). |
| • | CAEPIPE displays units for each item on the screen. You do not have to search for it on different screens as in some other programs. |
| • | Locate nodes in the model in an instant by using the search node feature. |
| • | Built-in SIF components library including B31 and ASME 2 and 3 components. User-SIF. Apply your own Stress Intensification Factor to override internally calculated SIF. |
| • | Non-linearities. Model gaps using limit stops (such as in pipe slide assemblies), including friction in supports and expansion joints. |
| • | Ability to model supports connected to other nodes. |
| • | Flange report (allowable flange pressure and gasket diameter required). |
| • | An itemized list of components/fittings such as bends, hangers, reducers etc. for quick review and editing. |
Excellent User Interface
CAEPIPE has a well-designed user interface with drop down menus and descriptive dialog boxes that make for efficient modeling sessions.
Full Mouse Support
Full mouse support is provided in text and graphics screens. Just point and click on an element to edit its data.
Interactive Graphics
CAEPIPE produces stunning graphics for your modeling ease. Walk around your model, pan, zoom, rotate, change viewpoints and colors. Supports two screen system just like an expensive CAD system.
Jacketed Piping (different temperature/pressure for core and jacket pipe).
Graphics Highlighting
Use this feature to pinpoint any component, view branch lines only, or view lines subject to a specific pressure/temperature.
Block Operations
Change material, temperature, pressure, section and friction for a range of elements. Generate copies of existing pipelines in an instant with simultaneous graphics update.
Simultaneous Error Checking
CAEPIPE detects errors as they occur on the input screen (some programs report errors after you exit the input module).
Units in Combination
CAEPIPE allows you to keep all units in Metric or English or SI. You can customize each item (pressure, stiffness etc.) to have different units. Convenience all the way.
