PV Elite®
PV Elite®
Vessel & Heat Exchanger Design, and Analysis & Evaluation
PV Elite® is a comprehensive solution for designing, analyzing, and evaluating pressure vessels and heat exchangers. It combines advanced analysis capabilities with user-friendly features and robust integration with other software tools.
Key Features
Comprehensive Design and Analysis
PV Elite® supports the design and analysis of various pressure vessels and heat exchangers, including tubesheet design, rectangular and non-circular vessel analysis, and individual component analysis. It covers all aspects of vessel and exchanger design, ensuring detailed and accurate results for complex engineering tasks.
International Codes and Standards
The software includes a wide range of international vessel codes and standards, such as ASME Section VIII Divisions 1 & 2, API 579 FFS, EN 13445, PD 5500, and more. This extensive code support ensures global compliance and applicability, making PV Elite® suitable for projects worldwide.
Advanced Analysis and Reporting
PV Elite® offers detailed analysis and reporting capabilities, listing critical equations and grouping results by type (e.g., internal pressure, external pressure, bending stress, nozzles, and flanges). The software identifies the element or detail controlling the overall vessel MAWP, and users can export analysis results to various file formats, including Word and PDF.
Powerful Integration Capabilities
The software integrates seamlessly with CADWorx® Plant Professional and CAESAR II®, as well as other popular software packages for finite element analysis, heat transfer thermal design, foundation design, and drafting. This bi-directional data flow between design and analysis tools enhances efficiency and reduces the risk of errors.
Cutting-Edge Graphics and User Interface
PV Elite® features advanced graphical representation of analysis models, allowing users to view and manipulate models easily. The interactive user interface presents only the necessary information at each stage, streamlining data entry and reducing the complexity of the design process.
Extensive Data Collection and Error Checking
The software simplifies the definition of pressure boundary conditions and streamlines data entry by breaking inputs into manageable subsets. Comprehensive error checking ensures the accuracy and reliability of the analysis, providing users with confidence in their design and evaluation results.
