FE/Pipe with PCL-Gold: Get FEA results without having to learn a new piping or FEA program!

PRG Attending Hexagon Live (and Intergraph PP&M User) Conference
Las Vegas - June 3 - 6, 2013
- MAJOR PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS PLANNED
HBar

PRG is planning to offer several bundled programs with Intergraph software applications (CAESAR II and PVElite) in the May/June timeframe of 2013. These bundled programs will provide enhanced accuracy and imrpoved analysis capabilities of piping systems or pressure vessels that are modeled and analyzed wiithin the Intergraph design and analysis software programs. These products will be announced and demonstrated at the Hexagon Live Conference in Las Vegas, in conjunction with the Intergraph PP&M user conference, June 3 - 6, 2013.

Please look for us at the Conference. We will be in Booth's 420 and 421 with our development, technology, and consulting partner Dynaflow Research Group.

PRG Software Release - Update
HBar

Software Release: Version 6.6 of FE/Pipe and version 8.6 of NozzlePRO have now been released.

This release includes new functionality, significant enhancements to current functionality, and imrpoved GUIs. To see a summary of the new features that will be included in this release, please see the flyer we have prepared by clicking HERE.

Customers must request a download of the new release and must be current on their support agreement to do so.

FEA Technology for Rapid Modeling and Stress Analysis of Pressure Vessels and Piping
HBar

Your engineering staff should use FEA analysis if they are involved in pressure vessel or pipe stress analyis and design. Our FEA software uses templates to quickly perform stress analysis of pipes, piping systems, nozzles, tanks, and other components typically found in the pressure vessel and piping industry. FEA techniques are of extreme value when dealing with components or systems 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:

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