Bentley AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries 5 Chemical Pipeline Design Software - Official Chinese Version 09.06

Bentley AutoPIPE enables users to quickly and easily create, modify, and inspect pipeline and structural models along with their results. It offers advanced linear and nonlinear analysis capabilities under various static and dynamic conditions, including temperature, wind, waves, buoyancy, earthquakes, and transient loads.

Designed as a scalable solution, AutoPIPE caters to companies in diverse industries such as nuclear and thermal power, processing and chemical plants, offshore FPSO platforms, anti-wave riser design, fire protection systems, refineries, multinational oil and gas pipelines, FRP pipelines, and building service pipelines. The software integrates design standards and principles from ASME, UK, Europe, Germany, Japan, China, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, and WRC, providing comprehensive analysis across entire pipeline systems.

AutoPIPE offers seamless integration with all major intelligent 3D CAD systems, including AutoPLANT, PlantSpace, Intergraph PDS, and Aveva PDMS. It allows easy generation and customization of automated intelligent isobaric charts. Project team members can make early design decisions, view all model and graphic data, and use ProjectWise Navigator to automatically detect conflicts between AutoPIPE and CAD models in real time.

Uniquely, AutoPIPE is the only pipeline and structural analysis solution integrated with STAAD Pro on the market. This integration not only saves weeks of design time but also results in safer, more realistic engineering designs.

Bentley AutoPIPE is a fully Windows-based pipeline analysis software primarily used to calculate code stresses, load forces, and deformations experienced by pipeline systems subjected to static and dynamic loads. It can analyze complex pipeline systems such as buried pipelines, wave loading, water hammer effects, FRP/GRP pipelines, and the interaction between pipelines and steel structures.

Basic Introduction

Bentley AutoPIPE is a fully integrated pipeline analysis and design solution featuring a top-tier CAD-like graphical interface, unique object technology, rapid analysis capabilities, realistic animation, visualization tools, and support for international design standards.

It allows users to quickly create, modify, and inspect pipeline and structural models and their results, while offering advanced linear and nonlinear analysis under static and dynamic conditions such as temperature, wind, waves, buoyancy, earthquakes, and transient loads.

AutoPIPE is designed to scale according to project requirements and serves industries including nuclear and thermal power, chemical and processing plants, offshore FPSO platforms, anti-wave riser design, fire protection systems, refineries, multinational oil and gas pipelines, FRP pipelines, and building service pipelines. It now incorporates design principles and limitations from ASME, UK, Europe, Germany, Japan, China, API, NEMA, ANSI, ASCE, AISC, UBC, and WRC for comprehensive system analysis.

Bentley’s AutoPIPE Standard is a next-generation pipeline stress analysis software tailored for the power and nuclear industries. It features AutoPIPE’s intuitive Windows interface and supports data exchange with structural analysis software such as STAAD and pipeline design software including PDS, AutoPLANT, and PlantSpace. The nuclear version also integrates the powerful ADLPipe nuclear power specification analysis engine.

AutoPIPE provides engineering analysis (CAE) tools for stress and pipeline stress analysis, fluid flow and pulsation analysis, and local stress analysis. It is primarily used to calculate code stresses, load forces, and deformations on pipeline systems under static and dynamic loads. The software can analyze complex pipeline configurations, including buried pipelines, wave loading, water hammer effects, FRP/GRP pipelines, and pipeline-to-steel structure interactions.
