unclesyd, I have not seen 1 pipe stress program that did NOT use offsets. You name it - Caesar II, Autopipe, Triflex, Caepipe, Simflex.. each and every one appears to use offset dimensions for input.. and as I understand it, they've always offered offset dimensions for input from day 1. As I understand it, the original developer of Pipeplus sold it to Algor in the 90's and shortly thereafter left. I have heard that Pipeplus was the 1st pipestress software program to pioneer Excel-like spreadsheet piping input, and from what I have seen, that appears to be true..
We just ordered Peng's book. For those who don't know, please be aware that ASME's system for pdf book versions is very, very onerous. Any book or standard purchased as a pdf will 'lock' onto the first PC it is installed, and you cannot pass it to other engineers one-at-a-time. Zero portability after you pay the money. That's why we're ordering book versions rather than pdf.
T.L. "Alvin" Peng used to work for KBR in Houston and has periodically worked with his dad L.C. in developing the Simflex program.

Thank you for that warning on the ASME .pdf purchase trick.
I have repeatedly found that the ASME organization repeatedly "almost" tells you all necessary details about a purchase.
Responsible honesty and quality customer service has been an "iffy" item with them for many years.

I think the original PipePlus (before it was renamed with that tag) was written by Mike Chin from Houston.
ALGOR is now owned by Autodesk and I believe they are offering a limited time free download of the most recent manifestation of the piping software.
Its a long story.

Hi JohnBreen (Mechanical)
History ALGOR in the erly 1990 when TONY PALUIN did the support for the ALGOR software and ALGOR handle FE/Pipe.
After TONY PALUIN, in the mide 1990 left their was very little support for ALGOR SOFTWARE.
JohnBreen (Mechanical), PAULIN RESEARCH GROUP NEW PIPE STRESS SOFTWARE IS VERY NICE.
JohnBreen (Mechanical)PLEASE GIVE PAULIN RESEARCH GROUP NEW PIPE STRESS SOFTWARE A TEST.
JOHN, THANK YOU

There was once was an engineer named Peng
who worked in Monsanto Central Eng.
His efforts abound
About things that are round
and all who worked with him on piping.
I couldn't stand the stress any more ...Had to do it. 8<)

JohnBreen,
I recently ran across some old notes where I had talked with "Mike" about running Pipe Plus, glad to find out his last name. There was a note where he told us he had sold the software to Algor. This was back in the old 286 days and when you talked about running an analysis you meant running and running, hours.
I also found out the Peng in my original post was the Peng referred to in the post by racookpe1978. If I recall it was Pat Peng.

Overseas right now, won't be back in the US until (probably) the first weekend in January.
Reference your 1941 and 1956 values, are those saved sizes?

Ordered my copy from Amazon.
So Intergraph picked up another victim (er, company) eh? Hope they leave Coade alone, though that's doubtful.
