One day advanced course
Syllabus
Overview
This class teaches users advanced concepts and methods for applying the AutoPIPE program to complex piping systems and loadings. The primary focus of this course is to expose and train the users in the advanced analysis features of the AutoPIPE software program.
Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to model and design everyday piping systems and avoid inefficiencies, common mistakes and pitfalls of using computer aided design.
