Alias StressISO Troubleshooting Tips for AutoPIPE 09. and Lower
Comments, Questions, and Answers with AutoPIPE StressISO (Alias).
In addtion to the "StressISO_Troubleshooting.pdf" document found on your hard drive, e the following information:
Isogen is a 3rd party software that is bundles with many cad applications such as Bentley AutoPIPE to automatically produce an isometric drawing. Isogen is very particular about the format of the data being converted into an DXF, DWG, or DGN file format. If there is one error in the data Isogen may hang, display a message about warnings with the file,
U the following steps to troubleshoot an Isogen related issue with AutoPIPE:
1. Known issues
Known issues are documented in the StressISO_Troubleshooting.pdf located in the AutoPIPE folder.
Review this document to e if it is a known issue.
2. Isometric bad on actual pipe components:
For an example, AutoPIPE can model a tee where the branch axis matches the same direction as the tee's header pipe axis. This is wrong modeling but can be done in AutoPIPE.
However, Isogen will abort becau it knows that a tee like that cannot be constructed. In order to export the model, the tee must be fixed so the branch axis does not match the header axis.
The goes for all other pipe components, if the actual component cannot be drawn becau of dimensional issues or arrangement, then isogen will abort trying to create a stress iso.
Recommend:
a. Review all valves and flanges cloly. Be sure all are modeled correctly
free shippingb. Review Tools> Model Consistency Check report to reduce number of warnings.
c. In general, review model looking for obscurities.
Typical issues:
-
--------------------
a. Flanged valve in middle of pipe run without attached flanges, add flanges to both sides of valve.
b. In middle of pipe run, back to back flange t. Upon clor inspection, there are 3 flanges. Remove the correct flange.
c. Known limitation, reducer cannot be the start or end of gment. Add short pipe run from reducer.
d. Middle of pipe run where 2, 4 inch dia, branches are placed side by side on top of the pip
e. However branch center lines are only 3 inches apart causing an overlap. This can be modeled but not exported to Isogen. Fix by reducing branch size or moving center lines apart.
e. Kink in pipe of 179.9 deg, remove pipe kink.
f. W726-170:The tee at point E00 has only two legs, fix by adding a branch run pipe, or change Tee node to a Point node.
3. Where is the warning occurring

is automatically displayed. Review the entire document and try to resolve any and all warnings displayed.
4. Disconnected systems:
Before creating a stress iso, review the model gments to be sure they are connected and do not stop at
a component (i.e. valve, reducer, bend, etc..). Sometimes a run of pipe is broken into multiple gments on
the same run of pipe. Best practice for when creating models for export to Stress ISO, reduce the number of gments to as few as possible, by using Edit> Segment> Join command at run node points that are common between 2 gments.
Another great tip, with a complicated model u the following feature: Select> Connected gments> choo only one box to highlight a connected ries of pipe. A limitation to the Alias Stress Isogen is that it cannot process 2 or more disconnected gments at the same time.
With one group of piping lected, create a stress iso as before, and be sure to confirm the "u connected gment" or " Selected range" check box is checked ON.

visitors
Note: If using example technique: "Modeling a "dummy leg" as a structural member or a pipe", again
stress Iso cannot generate the dummy support becau it is considered as a disconnected gment. Only 2 workaround suggestions: a. u a different modeling technique allowed by ISOgen or b. manually modify isometric after being created in a cad application to add leg information..
5. Clean folder
Create a new folder on the Desktop, copy the model's DAT file to the new folder, start AutoPIPE, open the file from the new
folder location, run the analysis, try to create a Stress iso DXF file instead of DWG or DGN file.here alone
6. Model Size Limitation:
Isogen has some model size limitations. Try lecting a portion of the model that is completely connected and creating a stress iso bad on the lect t. See #5 above for technique to lect connected
gments. Otherwi, need to manually create a lection t of connected gments.
7. Stress iso Template files
All Stress iso template files need to be saved into AutoCAD 2000 format only; e the following
meleeprocedure:
1. Open the isogen title bock in AutoCAD
2. Once open, run an audit by typing A-U-D-I-T in the command line.
AUDIT command evaluates the integrity of a drawing and corrects some errors.
3. When completed, purge the drawing by typing P-U-R-G-E in the command line. The PURGE
command removes unud items, such as block definitions and layers, from the drawing.
After the above has been completed, copy the file to the AutoPIPE folder
….C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTries3\PISOGEN\BORDERS
In order to u the new border file, under "Isogen Settings" confirm: Drawing Frame File, Ur Defined, Plot Frame, Drawing Size, AutoCAD units, Dimension/Tex formats ttings.
See following link as help

ve/2010/06/03/ddt-audit-generated-on-autoplant-piping-isogen-drawings.aspx
AutoPIPE V8i 9.4 and higher:
Skip the last step for saving to previous version and only A-U-D-I-T, P-U-R-G-E is required before
saving the file to 2010 - 2012 format.
8. Switches:
There are 100's of switches that can be adjusted for isogen. Recommend retting the switches by overwriting the Stressiso.ini and Apipe.opl files with a default copy of each file. Or, u a copy from a person's computer who does not have such issues when creating an iso from the same file that you are having troubles with.
Ret Default Settings
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stress iso stores dialog ttings and other information in a variety of files/locations:
a. Stressiso.ini
b. Apipe.opl
c. C:\Bentley \AutoPIPE V8i SELECTries \PISOGEN \PROJECTS \APIPEPROJ \Final
Depending on configuration, ttings enter, or anomalies there could be a conflict when creating a stress iso. Only after completing all the above steps 1-8 should this resolution be considered. The best solution is to reload the default ttings again before trying to run stress iso. The easiest method of retting the default values is over write the current files with a copy of the original files when the application was
installed. If you do not have a copy of the original files, suggest uninstall/reinstall the application.
9. Register DLL
The following is displayed in the Final.MES:
***** POD Error(s) *****

10. Dimensioning Stress Iso
On the "Stress Isometric Options" dialog, click on the "Isogen Settings" command button, or lect Tools > Settings > Isogen…> lect the "Dimension / Text tab" displays the current options/ttings for adding dimensions and text on a stress Iso drawing.
The Stress Iso utility has a limited number of options available for dimensioning a model and are all listed in the dialog. Any options or type of dimensioning not listed would be considered an enhancement. Plea log a rvice ticket requesting the enhancement in detail.
11. Dimensioning across gments and flanges appear incorrect
A stress Iso was created for a given model. On the stress Iso, it has been obrved that the total length of
pipe from the pipe end to a flange t (Dim A) and distance from flange t to bend TIP point (Dim B) adds
up to be correct total distance. However Dim A and Dim B do not equal the actual values in the model.
Additional note, the flange t is at the junction point between 2 connected gments.
As AutoPIPE does not have the length for the flange and it cut the pipe to arrange the space for the flange.
As for normal pipeline this scenario works perfect but there is a limitation in AutoPIPE that if the flanges placed on the gment continuation point then the space allocation for flanges can be cut from the one side. By that there was the change in the length which is equal to the flange hub length (ex. 305mm).
The avoidance is to join the gments by lecting the node point between the gments (ex A04) and go to "Edit > Segment > Join" and then export to stress ISO. Then Dim A and B on the model match that in the exported stress Iso drawing. The CAE development team will be adding a 2 point flange in AutoPIPE V8i
9.7project to dismiss such scenarios as en above.
12. Nothing happens after pressing OK on Isogen ttings dialog
(iso not created)
Application was not installed using full administrative rights. Uninstall and re-install AutoPIPE with full admin rights
13. Drawing fill is not created, but PCF file is:
A. Be sure that AutoPIPE was installed on the computer with a person who has has full admin rights. If
unknown, completely uninstall the program, delete AutoPIPE folder, reboot the computer logging in with admin rights, re-install the application.
B. Check to e if the version of AutoPIPE installed is listed in "add/remove programs" (Win XP) or
