PRG's FEA-based Technology Provides More Accurate Results for Special Cases

Your company's engineering staff should be using PRG's FEA-based programs if they are designing or analyzing piping systems, pressure vessels, nozzles, equipment, or other engineering structures that involve any of the following:

Inaccurate SIFs Inaccurate Flexibilities Large d/D Geometries Acoustically Induced Vibration (AIV) Many or complex load cases Path-dependent friction Non-convergent Friction problems Beam models give high stresses Strong temperature gradients Thermal bowing

D/T > 100 D/T > 50 with high pressure D/T > 50 with high piping loads Corrosion Nozzles with high piping loads Piping with external loads High axial stresses Thin-walled pipe High number of thermal cycles High number of pressure cycles

Glass-lined pipe Refractory-lined pipe Hot sustained cases Seismic analysis Wind analysis Other impact loads Complex loading conditions High branch stresses Low cycle fatigue Complex pipe supports

Use our FEA Technology to Check Your Beam or Shell Model Results

With PCL-Gold, our new pipe stress module within FE/Pipe, you can directly import CAESAR II™ models and apply our FEA technology to do the following:

• Confirm the results based on beam models
• Determine and apply more accurate SIFs and flexibility factors
• Determine whether or not the actual stresses are close to design, code, or customer specified limits
• Apply external vessel or equipment models to the piping model to achieve a complete analysis

Future versions of our software will support importing Compress™ vessel models to integrate with your piping models.
