Re: European code - EN13480 - AutoPIPE 6.3

It appears that Barbara's information is slightly out of date concerning AutoPIPE, formerly by Rebis and now part of Bentley Systems.

AutoPIPE 6.3, released in May 2003 has a complete implementation of the European Code EN13480. It also had incorporated most materials listed in the standard including the creep properties. AutoPIPE is available as a Demo with a 20-node limit. Here is the press release from Bentley's web site:

http://www2.bentley.com/corporate/media_room/default.cfm? objectid=C4DAF832-9671-41A0-82B739FF88B1CEF0&method=display

The link to requesting a demo is provided below. The web tour is slightly out of date:

If anybody is interested, I have a PowerPoint presentation about the Euro Code EN13480 in AutoPIPE.
