PRODUCT DATA SHEET AutoPIPE Vessel V8i Powered by Microprotol ® Comprehensive Software for Vessel Design AutoPIPE Vessel powered by Microprotol enables fully automatic workflows, including complete global codes and applied loadings for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and air coolers, to deliver greater productivity, safer designs, cost effective manufacturing, and improved project collaboration. It is the the only application to perform truly optimized vessel design in minutes. Maximize Productivity of Skilled Engineering Resources Through support for numerous regional and global standards – including pressure vessel design codes from the past 10 years and regional wind and seismic loading codes – the software provides the most productive, cost-effective, and accurate design for the safe operation of the vessel under all loading conditions. By enabling use of both new and older design codes, and material standards from any year, it improves flexibility for re-rating and revamping of existing vessels. This provides the opportunity to design for both brownfield and greenfield projects, shortens design time and rework by eliminating guesswork, and reduces training time by providing a single, easy-to-use application for global projects. It ensures confidence in vessel design, and improves competitiveness through higher design quality. Optimized and Flexible Vessel Design and Manufacturing With AutoPIPE Vessel powered by Microprotol, manufacturers can evaluate options to provide comprehensive, high quality solutions for all loading and manufacturing scenarios in minutes. Support for manufacturing component details and drawings as well as installation and operating conditions, enables high-quality designs and reduces manual drawing time and rework, improving competitiveness. Fatigue analysis, installation and support-in-place design and analysis, pressure testing, automatic drawing production and cost estimation are key features. “We were able to improve the quality of our pressure vessel designs, leading to enhanced product safety, while substantially saving time—producing all deliverables, including specifications, detailed drawings, and bills of materials, in three days rather than typically two weeks...” — Victor N. Smirnov, CEO of ZAO Neftekhimproekt. (NHP) Kettle floating head heat exchanger with eccentric cone. Faster Time to Production Comprehensive, flexible modeling and an easy-to-use interface enables designers to find solutions quickly, improves the efficiency of modeling, and increases profitability. This allows manufacturers to improve productivity and delivery time and enables easier, more accurate design and analysis. Improved Collaboration AutoPIPE Vessel powered by Microprotol imports thermal design data from HTRI, Aspen, Prosim, and Honeywell software to automate heat exchanger model creation. It shares data with plant design software such as PDS and automatically produces drawings in all major CAD formats (e.g. MicroStation and AutoCAD). Through its superior interoperability, AutoPIPE Vessel powered by Microprotol ensures greater efficiency in supply chain and greater alignment with engineering companies. By enabling engineers to collaborate more efficiently, it reduces iterations and errors, enables better quality designs, unifies workflows across a comprehensive set of tools, and improves data handover to operations and maintenance.
