CodeCalc
CodeCalc is the leading industry software package for design
and analysis of pressure vessel and heat exchanger components. In addition to
pressure and wall thickness calculations, CodeCalc evaluates loads from supports
and attachments. It includes extensive built-in materials and components
databases and the latest ASME rules for the construction of pressure vessels
plus the latest codes from ASME, TEMA, PD 5500 (British Code), UBC and the
Welding Research Council.

Data Collection
PVElite makes defining pressure boundary conditions for vessels easy, even for
load sets that require significant data input. PVElite streamlines this data
entry by breaking the input down into sensible subsets such as major vessel
elements, vessel details, analysis controls, design loads and shop test
conditions. And, help on any input item is only a keystroke away.
Graphics
PVElite’s graphical representation of vessel models helps ensure complete
confidence in the analysis. With PV Elite, you can view and manipulate the
vessel as if it were being held in the hand. Even input windows and help screens
use graphics to identify the parameters required for input, making these tasks a
breeze.
Analysis Options
PVElite performs calculations in accordance with ASME Section VIII Divisions 1 &
2, PD 5500 and EN 13445. Rules from API 579 (Fitness for Service) are also
included for evaluating the current state and remaining life of existing
vessels.
Output
To simplify inspection requirements, PVElite lists the most important equations
such as required thickness and maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) and
groups results by type (e.g. internal pressure, external pressure, bending
stress, nozzles, and flanges). Overall results are summarized where the element
or detail controlling the overall vessel MAWP is identified.

Content
PVElite is a global package with international code rules plus extensive
regionspecific content. Vessel material definitions, piping and steel component
data, local wind loads and local seismic loads of many regional markets are all
included.
Interfaces
PVElite interfaces with other popular software packages for finite element
analysis, foundation design and drafting. PVElite also shares a bi-directional
link to COADE’s CADWorx Equipment module.
