Description

Codeware offers a comprehensive suite of engineering software focused on the design, analysis, inspection, fabrication, and documentation of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and similar equipment, adhering to well-established industry standards like ASME, API, TEMA, and other relevant codes. At the heart of this suite lies COMPRESS, which provides complete ASME VIII-compliant design for pressure vessels and heat exchangers, managing intricate calculations such as minimum design metal temperature, nozzle intersections, static head, and fatigue screening, while also offering finite element analysis when necessary. Additionally, it can produce solid models and automatically generate detailed drawings, design reports, and cost estimates for users. For the maintenance, inspection, or re-rating of pre-existing equipment, the INSPECT module introduces Fitness-For-Service (FFS) features in accordance with API 579 and similar standards, evaluating flaws like corrosion, damage, or defects resembling cracks, and determining the remaining life of the equipment. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines the engineering process but also enhances reliability and safety in operation. Furthermore, Codeware's tools are designed to support engineers throughout the entire lifecycle of a project, ensuring adherence to quality and regulatory requirements at every stage.

Description

PV Elite® serves as a comprehensive tool for the design, analysis, and assessment of vessels and heat exchangers. Its user-friendly interface allows for quick learning, making it an excellent choice for those who need prompt initiation and assurance in their safety code calculations. The software takes into account the entire vessel, ensuring compliance with all necessary wall thickness regulations and stress analysis criteria for various types of vessels, including vertical towers, horizontal units, and heat exchangers. Additionally, it provides capabilities for evaluating and re-rating existing vessels, incorporating Fitness for Service evaluations as well. By utilizing PV Elite®, users can confidently design equipment suited for even the most demanding applications, all while doing so efficiently, accurately, and profitably. The program simplifies the process of defining pressure boundary conditions for vessels and exchangers, even when significant data input is required for complex load sets. Furthermore, PV Elite enhances the data entry experience by organizing input into logical subsets, thereby making the workflow smoother and more manageable for users.
