New Release — v1.0.2

Professional pipe stress analysis,
completely free

Import PCF models, run ASME B31.3 / B31.1 code checks, and visualize results in 3D — all from a lightweight desktop app that installs in minutes.

Full Analysis

Built for piping engineers

Everything you need to model, analyze, and verify pipe stress — in one modern interface.

PCF Import

Load models directly from Piping Component Files. Automatic geometry stitching, branch detection, and T-piece modelling.

6-DOF FEA Solver

Nonlinear beam-element solver with friction, one-way supports, spring hangers, and iterative convergence.

Code Compliance

ASME B31.3, B31.1, and EN 13480 stress checks with color-coded pass/warn/fail across all load cases.

3D Visualization

Interactive model viewer with WASD navigation, displacement animation, stress color maps, and node inspection.

Full Load Case Suite

Sustained, thermal expansion, occasional (wind + seismic), hydrotest, operating, and custom combinations.

Excel & Reports

Import project inputs and line lists from Excel. Export code-check results to spreadsheets or PDF reports.

Point Cloud Overlay

View laser scans beside your model. Converts Autodesk RCS to E57 with configurable mm-spacing, streams multi-GB scans without loading them into memory, and renders dots at true millimetre size so they scale naturally as you zoom.

Up and running in 3 minutes

Download a tiny installer, let it set up automatically, then start analyzing.

Download

Grab the ~5 MB installer from this page. No account or credit card needed.

Auto-Install

First launch downloads Python + packages from official sources. No admin rights required.

Load PCF

Open your piping model file. The FEM is built automatically with supports and loads.

Analyze

Run the solver, check code compliance, view 3D results, and export reports.

100% free. No catch.

Every engineering feature — solver, code checks, reporting, everything — is free and unlimited. Forever.

No limits

Unlimited model size, load cases, and code checks. Nothing is gated behind a paywall.

No account needed

Download and run — no sign-up, no email capture, no subscription.

Full transparency

Solver convergence diagnostics, SIF tables, displacements, reactions, and code-compliance ratios are all visible in-app and in exported reports for independent verification.

Download Piper Analytics

Windows 10/11. No admin rights required. Installs dependencies automatically on first run.

PiperAnalytics_Setup.exe

Version 1.0.1 • ~5 MB • Windows x64
Download for Windows
On first launch the app downloads ~250 MB of dependencies from python.org and pypi.org.
Subsequent launches are instant. macOS/Linux coming soon — let us know if you need it.
Windows security notice: Because the installer is not yet code-signed, Windows Defender / SmartScreen may show a “Windows protected your PC” warning. Click More info then Run anyway to install. We are working on a code-signed build to remove this warning.
