PipePak V10 Provides Faster and Easier Design and Analysis for Piping Systems

ALGOR's PipePak V10 software for piping design and analysis features improved associativity between its spreadsheet and graphical display window, which makes working with imported CAD models or building original models easier and more efficient. Shown here is a piping system, which illustrates several new features of PipePak V10: faster and easier importing of piping models and DXF file geometry from ALGOR's easy-to-use single user interface, FEMPRO; local zoom capability, which provides an inset with a magnified view of part of the model; and the ability to select and divide pipe segments (by number of divisions or a specified length) within the graphical display window.

PITTSBURGH, PA – April 12, 2007 – ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced that the latest release of its piping design and analysis software, PipePak V10, features bi-directional associativity between its spreadsheet and graphical display window including immediate display of pipes entered via the spreadsheet. These and many more PipePak V10 features provide ALGOR users with increased power, flexibility and ease-of-use for defining complete piping systems and performing structural analysis in compliance with industry-standard piping codes.

PipePak V10 also includes:

• faster and easier importing of piping models and DXF file geometry from ALGOR's easy-to-use single user interface, FEMPRO
• local zoom capability, which provides an inset with a magnified view of part of the model
• ability to select and divide pipe segments (by number of divisions or a specified length) within the graphical display window
• and improved support for units during import of CAESAR II models

"The new, powerful capability to import DXF files has saved us time when analyzing piping systems defined in CAD," said Alain Benchissou, Administrative and Commercial Director of CADLM in Gif/Yvette, France. "In addition, we can now more easily change piping models by graphically dividing any pipe to include a support at any location. This will allow us to propose solutions to our customers more quickly."

"PipePak V10's improved associativity between its spreadsheet and graphical display window allows users to define piping systems and evaluate analysis results faster and easier," said ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams. "PipePak V10's full suite of capabilities for design, analysis, validation and reporting allows designers and engineers to create better, more reliable piping systems faster."
