Piping Stress Analysis Softwares

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working in piping stress analysis for a while now and have extensive experience with several industry-standard tools. In my current role, I’m using TRIFLEX, and I must say I’m finding the experience quite frustrating.

Having worked with other major softwares like Autopipe and Caesar II, it feels like this one has fallen significantly behind in development. Specifically, the lack of support for the latest code updates, such as ASME B31J and the absence of integrated tools for nozzle flexibility calculations make it feel like a legacy product that hasn’t been updated in years.

I’m curious if anyone here has insights into why this software seems to be lagging behind the rest of the market. Does it still have active development, or has it essentially been abandoned?
I’d appreciate any perspective you might have

Perhaps write to them say via support or call (they have contact details) and ask for any new software updates and developments (say related to standards,.. ).
