HI SAM,
the best way to know how the convert is that make a piping model with all type of piping component in both the version. create neutral file from ver 5.00 and same time create neutral file from ver 4.00. now u can open both the neytral file in "notepad". see the differences between them. automatically u will get the answer.
there will will some parameters for control file. u hav to edit those parameters. there are two main paerameter has to be edited.
1. reducer element and any other elemnet having sif valve
2. allowable stress rows.
just check out both the neutal files. u can see the difference and same time u will get the idea how to convert from ver 5.00 to ver 4.00
at last import edited neutral file in ver 5.00
still if u get any problem then just reply me.
