Scheduled Training Course Outline

Paulin Research Group offers scheduled training at several locations worldwide. The topics include engineering background and application of our technology to industrial applications. Our focus is to enable our customers to walk away with a working knowledge of PRG software so that it can be used to solve immediate problems.

You can register by returning the completed form to Paulin Research Group by e-mail (sales@paulin.com) or by fax (+1-281-920-9739).

Option 1 (Days 1 and 2)

Option 1 training is targeted for the beginning to intermediate user that is not thoroughly familiar with ASME code interpretation or PRG software. Sample course topics are listed below.

  • Accurate Piping Design Through Application of Flexibilities and Stress Intensification Factors
  • Applicability of Analytical Methods: WRC, Zick
  • ASME Code Compliance (ASME B31.3, ASME Section III, ASME Section VIII) and Stress Limits
  • Buckling Evaluation
  • Combining FE/Pipe Models to Build Complex Geometries
  • Fatigue Failure and Comparison of Various References in MatPRO
  • FE/Pipe Template Overview
  • Interpretation of Results
  • Jacketed Nozzles
  • MatPRO Integration with FE/Pipe and NozzlePRO
  • Modeling Piping and Pressure Vessels in Combination
  • NozzlePRO Component Modeling: Nozzles, Saddles, Supports
  • Structural Attachments in FE/Pipe
  • Techniques for Evaluating Quality of Results (Convergence, Modeling Correctness)
  • Understanding Input Options
  • Understanding When to Apply Technology
  • Using FE/Pipe with NozzlePRO
  • Wind Load Analysis of Vertical Vessel

Option 2 (Days 3 and 4)

Option 2 training includes advanced topics for customers that have experience with application of finite element software to piping and pressure vessel problems. The content is hands-on as industrial problems are modeled from begining to end.

Please note that option 2 topic content is flexible and we can accomodate coverage of requested equipment modeling. We urge customers to provide drawings of equipment they would like to model beforehand.
