Have you wondered if there was a better way for your pipe stress engineers to communicate changes in geometry or loading of your piping model to the structural engineering group? Is your team wasting time reading support types and loadings from piping isometric drawings and/or Excel spreadsheets and reapplying them to the structural model? Ever wondered if you are over (or under!) designing your structure by ignoring the combined stiffness behavior of your piping and structural models?

With the integration of Bentley's world renowned AutoPIPE and STAAD.Pro, you can now ensure the continuity of workflow and data between your disparate engineering teams. Read further on how Bentley is bridging the gap between piping and structural engineers.

• Apply piping loads directly from AutoPIPE or ADLPipe
• Improved productivity
• Faster & more accurate workflow
• Reduce design delays and rework
• Early clash detection
• Automated digital versus current manual methods
• More accurate combined structural and piping stiffness solution

• Non-linear analysis
• Deadweight, Thermal, Seismic, Wind loadings
• Certified to international piping codes
• Export Piping Model + Support Loads to STAAD.Pro

• Matching Coordinate Systems
• Matching Support Nodes
• Manage piping & structure connections either graphically or using built-in spreadsheet.

• Pipe Support loads automatically imported onto the structure
• Save hundreds of man-hours on today's manual methods
• Reduce design delays and rework
• Avoid costly mistakes in manually entering load data which could lead to structural failure.

Interference Check in STAAD.Pro

Early clash detection to avoid costly rework by using the latest design piping and structural models.

Combined Structure + Piping Stiffness

No longer under or over-estimate pipe support loads. Non-linear structural and piping interaction for realistic support and structure loadings.
