AutoPIPEs material libraries can be viewed and modified to include custom materials or update existing data. A person
viewing these files for the first time usually has a confusing expression. This document aims to clear up any confusion
about the Euromat.LIB and Euromat.SRC files.
All modifications are performed in the SRC file. However, before a modified SRC file can be used within AutoPIPE, it
must be compiled into a LIB file. Once compiled and placed into AutoPIPEs main folder, only then can the new LIB
file be used by the application for analysis purposes. Caution, one mistake (extra space, miss-aligned column, wrong
value, etc...) in the SRC file can cause the modifications to not appear in the application or yield significantly wrong
values to be used in AutoPIPEs calculations. Making modifications to the SRC file should be done by someone who is
very meticulous and vigilant about maintaining format of each line in the file.
If you would like your material added to a future version of AutoPIPE, please send your SRC file with PDF files
highlighting all values from a reputable source (i.e. codes, material testing lab, etc...) used to compile your SRC file.
WARNING:
1. A good approach is to always copy an original file and rename it; example original name: Euromat.LIB
new name: Euro-01.lib (filename must be 8 characters or less). By renaming it you are flagging that it is
a customized file. It is also a benefit to have a separate library file when you reloading or upgrading
your version of AutoPIPE. When installing the application all default files are installed/overwritten. In an
effort to save your modifications and to ensure youre using the correct material values, use a copied
file of the original with a personalized filename whos values have been modified to your satisfaction
2. The moment any LIB file does not match the default LIB files installed with the application, it is
considered a custom module. Being a custom module Bentley cannot be held responsible for the
inaccuracy of the new library content. It is your responsibility to verify the following information:
Verification of data in the Press / Temp. dialog
Verification of relevant data on the Pipe Properties dialog.
AutoPIPEs Euro code library has data in 3 sections: Material, Specification, & Creep.
STANDARD MATERIAL PROPERTIES
This section contains general information about the material (i.e. Composition Code, Density, Poisson Ratio) and
tabulated data (i.e. Temp vs Thermal Expansion vs Youngs Modulus) for each entry. A scan of this table can be viewed
with the following instructions:
1. Start AutoPIPE, and select Tool> Library>

2. AutoPIPE Viewer appears with the Euromat .lib Material section, shown below:
3. The Euromat.SRC file can be opened with any text editor. The first 37 line of the files are units & conversion
factors used by the application (new values should match these units). The STANDARD MATERIAL PROPERTIES
starts on line 39 (or perform a search MATL) and then scroll down below the table programming lines to see
the Material entries. Excerpt from the Euromat SRC file is shown below with explanations of each value:

EURO CODE SPECIFICATIONS

This section contains information about the specific material (i.e. Material id, Source library, product/steel group, Rm
data, Elongation, creep temp, Min/Max temp) and tabulated data (i.e. Temp vs 0.2% Proof Strength vs 1.0% Proof
Strength vs Tensile strength) for each entry. A scan of this table can be viewed with the following instructions:

Modifying the SRC file

As indicated above, the SRC file can be opened by any text editor program. Recommend using a text editor that display
the current row and column location will be a great benefit (i.e. Ultra Edit, Notepad++, etc..) in maintaining column
alignment and table format.
Euromat library is broken into 3 sections: Material, Specification, & Creep. Each of these sections starts with lines of
table programming information, followed by detailed data on individual materials available when selecting this library in
AutoPIPE.
Example, shown below is the Creep data section with column headers, followed by table programming lines, and
the first material 1.0345
Note: the last entry in each section starts with an * symbol before the material name. Example shown below, notice
the * before SS2375-22:
In the original SRC file, this occurs on lines: 1512 (*GROUP-3-G), 11550 (*SS2562-22), and 15339 (*SS2375-22).

Suggested procedure when adding entries:

1. Copy original SRC file to a new location and modify the filename (cannot exceed 8 characters).
2. Open new SRC file in a text editor (recommend using one with column and row info on cursors position).
3. Move to the correct section (i.e. Material, Specification, or Creep).
Example: Material
4. Scroll down to the first entry
Example: GRP_1-5.2
5. Select the entire entry
Example: Select from line 280 356, to include all rows before next entry, GRP_5.3-7
6. Copy the selection
7. Move cursor to the beginning of the next entry.
Example: GRP_5.3-7 (line 357, col #1)
8. Paste copied selection from step 6.
9. Change from Insert mode to Overwrite mode in text editor.
10. Update copied data as required for new entry.
11. Refer to information above for details on line of data (what does this value mean?)
NOTE: be vigilant not to add extra spaces, change column alignment, use correct unit values, verify group
material name entry in Spec and Creep table match that in the MATL table, and confirm row count.
12. Modifications are completed, save the file, and close the text editor.
Example: save file name is EURO-1.SRC
13. Copy new SRC file to following folder: C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries\Libraries
14. Open above folder location, double Left click on build.exe and the following will appear:
15. Enter name of new SRC file without the extension,

Example: EURO-1
16. IF the file is correctly formatted, a new file will be created in the same folder.
Example: EURO-1.LIB
17. Copy new library file to AutoPIPE folder: C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries
18. Start AutoPIPE, open model, change material library (Tools> model options> General>) to new LIB file
Example: EURO-1
19. Open the Pipe properties tab on the input grid, select the new material and verify the values returned are
correct as entered in the new LIB file.
20. Open PRESS/TEMP/PipeID tab on the input grid; verify values returned are correct as entered in the new LIB
file. Change Temperature to confirm values are correctly updated as expected.
21. If any value is wrong, close AutoPIPE, open the SRC file, repair the problem, and repeat steps 12-21 again.

** Decimal located at column position. However, this row indicates the wall thickness for the specified
material. You can have different tabulated values based on wall thickness. Each new table is
proceeded with the wall thickness row, with the last wall thickness row starting with an *. See
example, 1.0345. There are 3 different wall thicknesses: 16.0, 40.0, & 60.0. Only the last one, 60.0,
should the row start with an * in the 1st column but the decimal should remain in the proper
location.

Important
Because of constant updates to the program (i.e. format changes, updated values, etc..), default or customized
SRC library files should only be used with a specific version of AutoPIPE. The default SRC files in the Libraries
folder ( C:\ Bentley \AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries \Libraries) can be used with that specific version. Please log a
Bentley Service Request if you require other SRC files. Be sure to mention what version of AutoPIPE the
customized library is to be used for (help> About > 8 digit number).
Example:
Do not use a customized library (*.LIB) created from AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.01.11 SRC file in
AutoPIPE XM 08.06.00.12.

Troubleshooting notes:
1. The most common problems are due to format. As suggested above, move to the correct section in the SRC file,
select & copy the first entry, and insert/paste directly below it. Change the text editor to overstrike mode, move
to the different locations (keyboard arrows or mouse) and update the data as required. This will overwrite the
original data with new information preserving the format. Try to maintain column alignment.
2. Add one material at a time; verify the compiled library in AutoPIPE before adding more entries. Another word,
get the format and process down before mass producing.
3. Ensure only the last entry starts in each section starts with an * mark.
4. Verify your # of rows used and Total # of rows used have the correct values.
5. When hesitant, start with a fresh copy of the SRC file and try again.
6. If you cannot get your file to work correctly, please send the SRC file and LIB to Bentley TSG for review. Be sure
to include specific details on what is not functioning correctly.
Remember, being a custom module, Bentley cannot be held responsible for the inaccuracy of the new library
content. It is your responsibility to verify the following information:
a. Verification of data in the SRC file
b. Verification of data in the Press / Temp. dialog
c. Verification of relevant data in the Pipe Properties dialog
