CAEPIPE

Fast Pipe Stress Analysis — Any Complexity. Least Effort.

CAEPIPE (kay•pipe), the 1st pipe stress analysis software on PC (1983), continues to be the preferred tool for static and dynamic stress analysis of piping systems of any complexity in any industry. Its no-nonsense, rapid “get-it-done” user interface lets you interactively and iteratively design and analyze your piping system for optimum configuration in the shortest possible time.

What CAEPIPE Users Have Been Saying

Using CAEPIPE to model the structure cut the engineering time from weeks to days, eliminated the high cost and lead time associated with FEA, and provided a “close enough” design for the estimating department to use.

Andrew Springer, PE, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Ershigs, WA, USA

I have been a user of CAEPIPE for 3+ years in Washington and British Columbia. I found CAEPIPE to be more flexible, nimbler, and way user-friendlier than another leading program... in terms of modeling speed, ease of checking, and a more stable platform for repeatable results.

Ray Alvarado, P.E. Mechanical Piping Engineer, PSN World Calgary

We use CAEPIPE to design the process coils in our steam cracking furnaces. These coils operate at temperatures between 1,200°F & 2,000°F. Supports must be sized properly to prevent coil distortion and rapid failure. CAEPIPE graphic displays are extremely useful in determining if we have input the geometry correctly and in evaluation of results.

Arthur DiNicolantonio, Major Oil Company — CAEPIPE user for over 17 years

[CAEPIPE] is a very practical and efficient engineering tool, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and technical support... Analysis is fast and consistent. I enjoy using CAEPIPE.
