pipelinestudio 3.2

We are pleased to announce the release of PipelineStudio® 3.2. This release of PipelineStudio includes the following major new functionality:

• Inclusion of Storage (vessels and reservoirs) in PipelineStudio Gas
• Surveys (elevation profiles) to replace user lines in PipelineStudio Liquid
• Profiler view enhancements (multiple properties and ghosting now added)
• Network view enhancements (orientation shown, highlighting of selected elements, etc.)
• Faster Steady State simulation in PipelineStudio Gas
• Wobbe Index is now calculated and reported in PipelineStudio Gas
• Enhanced viscosity calculations using LGE parameter selection

In support of the release of Windows Vista® in January, 2007, we have made changes to PipelineStudio and the PipelineStudio installation package to enable PipelineStudio to install and run under Windows Vista®. These changes not only enable PipelineStudio to install and run on Windows Vista but also afford the application the same security and interoperability afforded to other applications running on Windows Vista®.
Users still running Windows XP® will not be affected by these changes.

The following significant changes have been made to allow PipelineStudio to install and run under Window Vista®:

Security
The installation packages and distributes executables are signed with a secure digital certificate by Energy Solutions International and where appropriate contain information about there required execution privilege level.

Online Help
PipelineStudio previously used the WinHelp help file format. Some features of WinHelp only work if you have administrator privileges in Windows XP: a clean install of Windows Vista does not support WinHelp. The online help for PipelineStudio has been migrated to compiled HTML help format.

Network License
The network licensing component has been updated to use the latest release that is Vista compliant and contains fixed to issues regarding commuter licensing within a locked down network environment.

PipelineStudio 3.2 is fully backward-compatible with previous versions of the product, enabling users to directly access all existing data files.

Upgrades to PipelineStudio 3.2 are free for all maintenance paying customers and can be downloaded from here. Before downloading, please be sure to review the release notes to ensure that users are in compliance with the PipelineStudio 3.2 system requirements.
