Bentley systems announces availability of AutoPIPE Vessel powered by Microprotol
Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, today announced the immediate availability of AutoPIPE Vessel V8i powered by Microprotol. The flexible new software extends information mobility across vessel manufacturer, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, and owner-operator workflows, improving engineering collaboration and supply chain efficiency. This results in reduced iterations and errors and safer, higher-quality, optimized designs for both greenfield and brownfield projects. AutoPIPE Vessel V8i also shares data with plant design software, further streamlining project workflows. In addition, it is the first product to automate the entire vessel design process – from design and analysis to drawing production, procurement, detailed cost breakdown, and manufacturing process, including full vessel optimization – improving productivity and reducing costs.
Santanu Das, Bentley senior vice president, design and simulation, said, “We acquired Microprotol last year to add still more breadth to the widely used Bentley AutoPIPE line of products for comprehensive pipe stress analysis. For more than 20 years, Bentley AutoPIPE has been the pipe analysis software of choice for leading EPCs worldwide due to its many capabilities, including the groundbreaking new hot-clash detection feature in the SELECTseries 5 release.”
Hot-clash detection in Bentley AutoPIPE reveals weak points in the operating plant design, including how a pipe will bend on a windy day or move during an earthquake. Bentley uniquely offers this interactive, 3D-rendered display of piping and structural systems deflecting under real-world conditions to help users evaluate actual operational clashes with 3D plant equipment of any type.
Das continued, “Microprotol brought to our world-class pipe stress analysis line rigorous performance simulation capabilities for the streamlined design, analysis, fabrication, and commissioning of pressure vessels and their associated pipework. Today, we are announcing AutoPIPE Vessel V8i, a new offering that extends its application reach to a global scale through support for all key pressure vessel design codes issued in the past 10 years across Asia, Europe, and America. This makes the software suitable for not only new vessel builds, but also for recertifying and revamping existing assets. Capabilities include running asset health modeling simulations and interactive inspections with corrosion and fatigue as key parameters to ensure a vessel’s safe operation throughout its lifecycle.”
