SP2D V6.4 release notes:

• PipeNet Engine:
  • Increase of the maximum model size to 50,000 nodes; it allows to analyse in one go e.g. 200km of pipeline with a node spacing of 4m,
  • Improvement of the screen output during the FE analysis.
• Code & Span checks:
  • Implementation of the following new code checks:
• API RF 11.11, including the ASME31.4 and ASME31.8 checks,
• PD 8010,
  • Major overhaul of DNV OS F101 code check:
• User can now define more safety factors manually,
• A waterfilled code check is now allowed,
  • Update of the DNV RP-F105 rules to the February 2006 issue,
  • Code and span check results can be displayed in the viewer,
  • Code and span checks can be run on temporary seabed.
• SAGE Profile Editor:
  • Possibility of defining Global Restraints,
  • Update of the Ramberg Osgood parameters selection window,
  • Improved input flexibility: Temperature profiles do not interfere with defined pipe property ranges anymore.
• Main Interface:
  • A License Manager now allows to select the required network dongle from within the interface.
• Analysis Type Window:
  • Improved handling of analyses that do not complete successfully due to convergence problem.
• Rectifier:
  • Cut and fill summary of seabed rectifications now saved per analysis,
  • A new Cut and Fill Summary Window displays detailed summary in Viewer,
  • Rectification of seabed more straight forward: a "snap to seabed node" functionality indicates where seabed rectification points can be inserted.
• Advanced Viewer:
  • Code and Span check results can now be opened in Viewer,
  • Easier code and span check verification: conditional colouring of output results indicates which nodes in code and span check pass/fail a specific check,
  • Important bug fix that could lead to a shift in bending strain when using overlap.
• SAGE Buckle:
  • Viewing and printing of NDL files is now possible,
  • Output file now clearly indicates that no features were found.
• Many other incremental improvements indicated to us by our AMTS users.
