For engineering support only. Final support design shall be reviewed and approved by a qualified piping engineer against project specifications, stress analysis, structural capacity, applicable codes (ASME B31.3, MSS SP-58/69/89/127, PFI ES-26) and client standards. This software is a decision-support tool and does not replace professional engineering judgement.

Before you continue

Review the quick how-to-use guide, user manual summary and EULA/disclaimer before using Pipe Support Smart Assist.

  1. 1

    Confirm the project context

    Enter the project, area, line number, pipe size, schedule, material, service and operating basis before using the wizard.

  2. 2

    Run the selection workflow

    Use the wizard to describe orientation, nearby features, movement strategy, uplift, vibration and constructability limits.

  3. 3

    Review the recommendation

    Check the primary support, alternates, restrained movements, risk flags, learning note and code references before adding it to the register.

  4. 4

    Build the deliverables

    Assign supports to structures, review inputs, manage the support register and generate the screening MTO for project review.

  5. 5

    Save project records locally

    Choose a local records folder so each project is archived as reloadable app data plus CSV/TXT files that remain readable outside the app.

Open the EULA tab and scroll to the end to enable acceptance.
