Software Product Name: ADLPipe to AutoPIPE Translator

Version #:
1.0.0.15
Note
---------This enclosure contains a Software Tool for converting ADLPIPE adi Models into a
n
AutoPIPE Batch Neutral File (*.NTL) which can be automatically saved as *.DAT fi
le
and opened in AutoPIPE. Bentley and Users have performed testing on a number of
test
models and found good translation results. Any translation issues found please s
end
to support@bentley.com , subject AutoPIPE and we will fix and issue a patch for th
is
translator in a timely manner.
1.0.0.4
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. 5 character point names (exceeding 9999) are now renamed to 4 characters
2. All supports are written after geometry in neutral file (.ntl)
3. All extra data including gross disc, out of roundness, cut short etc. is w
ritten
after geometry in neutral file (.ntl)
1.0.0.5
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Pipe modifiers starting from bend far point were not applied correctly on
the far point.
2. Model disconnection at STEM Valves / Valves with actuator
3. Any exta data e.g. forces, additional weigth applied to valve mid point is
exported
4. valve weight and length export problems are fixed
5. Valve actuator offsets problems are fixed
1.0.0.6
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Added joint offset mapping on JSIF.
2. Added end connection type on joint offset mapping.
3. Added conversion of delta/t to delta value for joint offset.
4. Fixed issue with printing of joint offset on I1(near point).
1.0.0.7
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. SRS Spectrums from ADLPipe were not read correctly. The code assumed one s
pectrum per
execution set. Revised the code to handle multiple spectrums per execution
set.
2. Pipe material composition is no longer written for design codes other than
SPC2, TBK56,
KHK, EURO and ASME NB, NC, ND. Earlier this was being written to .ntl.
1.0.0.8
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Reducer following a bend will not have OD and thickness written in the car
d to avoid the
pipe change problem as the pipe on the second end of reducer was getting w

ritten first.
2. Pipe identifier length issue fixed. Pipe identifier length exceeding 8 cha
racters was
truncated on import that resulted in more than one different pipes getting
the same ID.
3. Code year mapping for B31.1 is fixed. The code years for B31.1 which are n
ot available in
AutoPIPE have been mapped to next available code year and a warning is sho
wn to the user
about this particular change.
4. The analysis flag is off now for analysis sets by default. To analyze a gi
ven set, it
has to be enabled within AutoPIPE from Tools->Statis Analysis set dialog.
5. Specific gravity calculation error for pipe properties has been fixed.
1.0.0.9
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Added stress summary translation as an *.xml file for ASME Class 1, 2 and
3 piping codes
2. Analyze flag for static analysis set to 'On' due to stress summary impleme
ntation
3. Added support for translating single response spectrum files (SRS)
4. Added map file for acquiring default properties for piping code and code y
ear
5. Merged double instruction valves without stem also to single valve
6. Fixed problem of bends following a reducer and reducer end pipe properties
not updating correctly
7. Added the option (SAM card) to run SAM case analysis after import
8. A new drop down list to select a version of AutoPIPE installed to open the
translated file
9. Multiple ADI files selection for translation in one go
10. Shortcut is created under a new program group Programs> Bentley AutoPIPE T
ranslators > ADLPipe Translator
1.0.0.10
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Increased precision of coordinates in NTL to 5 decimals
1.0.0.11
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Pressure units fixed for SI units (bar to N/mm2).
2. Alpha*DT factors fixed for SI units and metric units(conversion factor mm/
m added).
3. Yield (SY) was not exported for ASME Class 1 & 3 piping codes.
4. Hot modulus property for material has been fixed.
1.0.0.12
Following Fixes/Changes were made.
1. Unit files used by ADLTranslator that are shipped with AutoPIPE v9.4 are u
pdated with unit factor fixes: eng_adl.unt, met_adl.unt, si_adl.unt, simd_adl.un
t
9879 ADL Translator: Some unit factors not set correctly when importing to
AutoPIPE (see tracker for more details)
1.0.0.13
No changes
1.0.0.14
Following Fixes/Changes were made.

1. Rename nodes in ADLPipe with names lying in the reserved range 9000-9999 o
f node numbers.
1.0.0.15
