AutoPIPE Vessel 2025 (46.00.00.165)
Bentley has released AutoPIPE Vessel 2025 (46.00.00.165). The Most Comprehensive Software for Pressure Vessel, Heat Exchanger, Air Cooler, and Tank Design Optimization.

Codes/Standards
– ASME VIII Div.1 – Appendix Y – Flat face flanges with metal-to-metal contact outside the bolt circle.
– NB/T 47041-2014 – Anchorage, Skirt-Head Junction and Skirt Openings.
– B36.10 & B36.19 2022 – Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe.
Calculation
– Analysis Selection dialog that expedites calculation by skipping subsequent checks like nozzles, flanges, support design, MDMT, etc.
– Summary table for geometry elements under internal pressure (required minimum thickness vs. selected thickness) added to the report.
– Lifting analysis and lifting accessory design without support calculations is now possible.
– Guides for vertical vessel supported on brackets.
– Linear loadings can be included as External loads. This leads to more accurate calculations and less effort than providing multiple point load inputs.
– Several obsoletes Codes and Standards are no longer supported:
. Pressure & Tubesheet Codes : CODAP 95 :1998 ; BS 5500:1997
. Bellow Code: EJMA 6th Edition 1993
. Flange Standard: ASME B16.5-1998/B16.47-1996
. Wind Codes: ASCE 1993/1995 ; British Standard CP3 Part 2 – 1972 ; UBC 1976/1982/1988/1991/1994
. Seismic Codes: ASCE 1993/1998; DIN 4149 – 1981; IS 1893 – 1984/1996; UBC 1976/1982/1988/1991/1994; Parasismique PS 69 – 1984
User Interface
– Change Nozzle dialog that allows the simultaneous edition of multiple nozzles’ properties and its comparison. Extension of old Change Nozzle Location feature.
– Analysis Selection dialog allows to bypass non required calculation at first pre dimensioning steps(enabled in Preferences).
– Summary table for geometry elements under internal pressure (required minimum thickness vs. selected thickness) can be displayed in the Results panel.
– Lifting accessories are an independent component with its own dialog and thus are now present in the list of components and in the 2D view.
– Guides dialog for vertical vessel has been moved into Support properties dialog.
– External loads dialog has been revamped. Linear loads can be defined. Loads corresponding to mass and internal components can be explicitly specified.
Drawings and Interoperability
– AutoCAD 2025 export.
– BricsCAD 2024 and 2025 export.
– SolidWorks 2024 and 2025 export.
Documentation
– Tutorial updated (more examples, includes the quick start guide …).
– Help – How To:
. Add a User-Made Block
. Understand Drawing Views
. Understand Dimensioning Sketches
Customizable Files
NOTE: Version 3.7
– Config\Material.emdm (Material Database) (Updated)
– Config\dimpip.xlsx (Pipe Dimensions) (Updated)
EMVD schema version: 7.0
Security Release Notes
– CVE-2024-8176 and CVE-2024-50602 security vulnerabilities fixed.
AutoPIPE Vessel is a powerful solution for designing complex pressure vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers under multiple loading conditions. With a comprehensive suite of global and regional pressure design code standards, automated workflows, detailed equipment cost estimation, and self-explanatory step-by-step reports, you can deliver accurate, safe, and compliant designs on time and under budget. Furthermore, AutoPIPE Vessel’s unparalleled automatic drawing feature can generate highly detailed, fabrication-level drawings and 3D models in a matter of minutes.
Bentley Systems, Inc. is the global leader dedicated to providing architects, engineers, constructors, and owner-operators with comprehensive architecture and engineering software solutions for sustaining infrastructure. Founded in 1984, Bentley has nearly 3,000 colleagues in more than 45 countries, $500 million in annual revenues, and, since 2001, has invested more than $1 billion in research, development, and acquisitions.
