SWBPIPE · In development
Open-source piping flexibility and stress analysis
SWBPIPE is being developed for studying piping behaviour and exploring design alternatives. It is built in public by teams of AI agents, and its source code, engineering methods, and verification evidence are open.
The first publication-ready target is v1.0, with macOS first. The application is still in development. A model-to-results walkthrough introduces the current application. The Development Atlas shows what works today, its limits and the work that remains. The Engineering Reader and Open Manual are free to read now.
Explore the program
The 1 November development snapshot adds model document 0.9.0, exact-pressure tee junctions and improvements to model entry and review. An embedded conversation panel can propose supported model changes for explicit application. Older model documents require re-authoring, and large-result display and complete agent workflows retain limits. Read the current scope and limitations.
Preparing a model

SWBPIPE is built in public. When the Development Atlas is revised, you get a short note: what changed, what it means for users, and the evidence behind it.
