AutoPIPE is Bentley’s software for pipe stress analysis and design.
When the final result involves piping and vessel design, there’s no need to spend time manually performing calculations that software can handle for us. AutoPIPE is an advanced analysis and design tool used to calculate pipe stresses, loads, and deflections under static and dynamic load conditions.
With extensive interoperability with other industry applications and features that save time—such as the new support optimizer—AutoPIPE ensures cost-effective, high-quality designs and provides a smooth workflow for engineers.

Easily create and modify piping stress models using an OpenGL-based graphical interface. AutoPIPE’s object-based design allows users to point and click to insert, modify, or remove components, generating instant visual updates and enabling quick parameter adjustments with a single command.
Quickly optimize piping support design using AutoPIPE Advanced with AI-powered machine learning. When designing a piping system to withstand various stresses, it is essential to evaluate load points and support them effectively while keeping costs minimal.
The support optimization feature generates thousands of design alternatives and compares them as they become available.
Perform buried piping and transient flow analysis, evaluate wave loads and FRP/GRP (plastic) pipelines, and prevent costly failures by assessing performance under extreme conditions such as earthquakes.
With AutoPIPE’s real-time 3D clash detection, you can proactively eliminate errors and run hypothetical scenarios to evaluate multiple design possibilities efficiently.
Seamlessly integrate piping and structural design, transferring piping loads and importing complete structures from other applications.
AutoPIPE interoperates with software like STAAD.Pro, SACS, OpenPlant, and CAESAR, allowing for faster design processes and smoother team collaboration.
Create custom reports in multiple formats using an optimized open-source SQLite database, eliminating tedious manual reviews.
Color-coded results and popup windows help identify and analyze critical design issues efficiently.
