What is AutoPIPE VESSEL?

AutoPIPE Vessel is a vessel modeling and design software that is proven to save design time while increasing the quality of designs, so they are safe under various loading conditions and cost-effective. AutoPIPE Vessel includes many design codes for regional wind, seismic, wave, and blast-loading, so you are always in compliance with regional and global standards. With built-in automated workflows and collaboration features, you can save time and reduce errors by sharing comprehensive, up-to-date piping and structural data across various teams.

Comply with Codes

Ensure that your projects comply with more than 30 global design standards across the power, nuclear, offshore, chemical, and oil and gas industries.

Design Efficiently

Quickly design and model pressure vessels based on international design codes and local load methods. Optimize your flange design to minimize costs based on design codes, ensuring safe vessel design.

Produce Detailed Drawings

Reduce manual drawing time and rework with automated detailed drawings. Create fully dimensioned engineering drawings, manage white space, and configure drawing sheet layout.

Reference Piping Model

Save time and reduce errors by importing nozzle loads from AutoPIPE into AutoPIPE Vessel for analysis as a local load on the vessel shell.
