OFFPIPE2CAD, Automatic AutoCAD and pdf generation of Initiation and A&R anlysis

OFFPIPE2CAD is an in-house software consisting of a set of MATLAB functions to generate AutoCAD and pdf files of Initiation, Laydown and A&R analysis automatically. After analysis with OFFPIPE, it's required to store all output files in a folder and introduce the folder address to this software. The OFFPIPE output files should have logical sequential names. Followings are some sample pdf output of the software.


Stages of Initiation - PL#2a (VS1 to VS2,KP11) - Iraq, SOC, COEFRP Project with PLB Eclipse

Stages of A&R - 12 inch MOL XAP-BGS (SSAC6) - Indonesia, Pertamina, Balongan Project with PLB Stealth

Stages of Laydown - PL#3 (VS1 to SPM4) - Iraq, SOC, COEFRP Project with PLB Eclipse

List of Pipeline-related in-house Software

I list some of the in-house software which I coded for pipeline design and installation engineering jobs. I coded many more, but just listed the most time/cost-effective ones here:

  • MATLay, Layability study, static/dynamic analysis using OFFPIPE, MATLAB, and Excel
  • ARMAT, Auto-filling of Summary Result Tables of OFFPIPE A&R Analysis using MATLAB and Excel + VBA
  • SS2MC, Ramberg-Osgood Nonlinear Stress-Strain to Nonlinear Moment-Curvature
  • Analytical pipeline local buckling check for D/t > 45 with Excel + VBA
  • FatMAT, Fatigue Analysis using OFFPIPE and MATLAB
  • OFFPIPE2CAD, Automatic AutoCAD and pdf generation of Initiation and A&R analysis
  • SP3DInpPrep, Input preparation for Sage Profile 3D using MATLAB
  • E2S, Calculation of Stress having Strain (Nonlinear)
  • OFFPIPEBatchRunPrep, OFFPIPE batch-run through MATLAB
  • MOSMAT, Summary Result preparation from MOSES output using MATLAB
  • PileMAT2SACS, SACS Pile drivability input file preparation using MATLAB
If there is a smooth and tidy way ahead, passing from the old rocky roads is not recommended. (Weierstrass)
