First Release
This product release is first available on the AVEVA support website support.aveva.com as AVEVA Pipe
Stress Interface 2.1, release number 52411.

Overview of Product
This product provides a quick and easy interface to external pipe stress calculation software. It enables the
user to compile up to 100 pipe branches at a time into a stress group which is then transferred into a
suitable external stress package for analysis.

Once the analysis is complete the stress model can be returned to the 3-D design to show deflections,
small layout changes and new restraint data. The returned model is a reference model and does not
directly change the original model so changes may be reviewed before implementation
