Get started in minutes with an evaluation version of CAEPIPE pipe stress analysis software - for FREE!



CAEPIPE performs linear and non-linear, static and dynamic pipe stress calculations for piping systems of any complexity, in any industry. It determines structural response of pipe and pipeline systems to various types of loadings and computes stresses in accordance with numerous international codes and standards. Even steel structural analysis can be performed with CAEPIPE. TECHNICAL FEATURES


About that FREE version of CAEPIPE...

The Evaluation version of CAEPIPE pipe stress analysis software lets you work with any pipe size and allows you to model up to 20 nodes with no time limit. If your piping systems are small, the Evaluation version is all you need; Use it FREE with our compliments. If your piping systems exceed 20 nodes, use the complimentary Evaluation version to learn the software, and then use CAEPIPE's fully-scaled version to rapidly design and analyze piping systems of practically any size or complexity with the least effort.

By the way, CAEPIPE works on your system:

Windows: 32 or 64-bit Processor, XP / Vista / Win 7 / Win 8 / Win 10
Mac OS: Use Parallels or similar Windows virtual environment
