March 2009 Product Release: Paulin Research Group introduces new Finite Element Analysis products & upgrades for Pressure Vessels and Piping.The product information’s are listed belowPCL-Gold is the first pipe stress tool to automatically run FEA for local intersections. It provides complimentary piping analysis capability, performing calculations which to our knowledge, are not available anywhere else• Microsoft® Excel Beam Piping Analysis (This functionality is included with all FE/Pipe v5.0 licenses with active service contracts (SMS) or as an annual lease).• New ASME external pressure and load collapse calculator• Area Replacement Calculations per B31.3 (courtesy GCS)• Pipe Wall Thickness Calculators per B31 (courtesy GCS)• B31.3 Code Notes including System Analysis Recommendations• Provides warnings and notes for buried pipe and pipe exposed to rain bowing. FE107 uses finite element technology to provide stress analysis of nozzle connections on piping and pressure vessels. It replaces WRC107 as a calculation tool that can be applied when WRC107 semi-empirical methods are limited. FE107 can be applied to a wide range of geometries. FESIF is a finite element based computer program that automatically calculates stress intensification factors (SIFs) and flexibility factors for a wide variety of piping intersections not covered by the B31 piping codes. FE661 performs a finite element analysis of head box nozzles for air-cooled heat exchangers.• Performs tube load analysis from multiple nozzle loads per ASME Section VIII-1 Appendix A.• Includes option for Evaluation of API 661 external loads.• All nozzle loads applied to perforated tube sheet and analyzed per ASME 2004-Div 2 Art 4-9.• FEA analysis of all loads on single nozzle• Provides individual nozzle SIFs and Flexibilities. FEBend v1.1 analyzes individual bends with circular or structural attachments.• Produces SIFs and Flexibilities for use in any pipe stress program.• Evaluates stresses due to axial temperature gradient in attachment.• Allows local pad reinforcement on structural or circular attachments.• Nozzle/PRO style, easy-to-use interface• Generates Inspector ready output.
