STANPIPES Moves to the Windows Environment

Abstract

STANPIPES is the software embodiment of the design environment within which Ontario Power Generation personnel perform piping analysis. Its various programs and supporting utilities, interfacing with commercial finite element packages are geared to design and fitness for service calculations for all classes of nuclear piping and B31.1 conventional piping. Historically, STANPIPES resided on a (Compaq Alpha) Virtual Memory System (VMS) platform. The past year has seen its transition to the Windows environment. With this transition, it has acquired graphics capabilities and a user friendly interface. This paper show-cases its present form and capabilities.
