PV/Designer enables engineers to quickly use templates to create parametric piping entities such as pressure vessels and intersecting pipes. Models can then be read directly into either ALGOR for analysis or a CAD system for further modification. With this software, pressure vessel designers in industries including chemical, petrochemical and power generation can evaluate compliance with industry standards such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
Our full range of simulation capabilities is available for pressure vessel models including static stress and Mechanical Event Simulation (MES) with linear and nonlinear material models, linear dynamics, steady-state and transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, electrostatics and full multiphysics.
Modeling- Automatic generation of common pressure vessel and piping component FEA models
- Automatic generation of plate/shell and solid meshes and trimmed surface IGES files of vessels, nozzles and heads based on dimensions and orientation of intersecting pipes
- Capability to create individual angular segments which can then be pieced together with other generated models in ALGOR or a CAD solid modeler
- Capability to exclude a secondary intersecting cylinder (nozzle) in the generated model to allow for the easy generation of models such as propane tanks or aerosol cans
- Capability to specify the angle between intersecting pipes
- Capability to generate tapered cylinders
- Capability to generate uniform and tapered nozzles
- Capability to generate multiple nozzles intersecting cylinders or any head for both plate/shell and solid meshes
- Capability to place flanges at the end of segments
- Capability to place reinforcing pads at the intersections
- Capability to leave pipe segments open or specify placement of standard pressure vessel heads
- Support for common pressure vessel heads:
- Flat
- Spherical
- Ellipsoidal
- Torispherical
- Complete control over the part numbers of generated segments to facilitate applying different thicknesses to different parts
Meshing- Automatically generates either a structured plate/shell or solid mesh based on user input
- Complete control over mesh density of all generated segments
- Complete control over mesh density in the feature region around all intersections
User Interface- Full, 3-D dynamic viewing options
- Simple, easy-to-navigate pop-up windows and dialogs
- Data input fields related to corresponding diagrams to guide input
- Parametrically updates the model in the viewing window as dimensions and input fields are modified
- Automatically saves settings so different variations of a component can be created, altered and analyzed for many fast "what if" scenarios
- Capability to hide areas of the model with clipping planes
- Displays dimensions on 3-D model
