DIN 4149:2005 or DIN EN 1998-1 Eurocode 8.

Physical properties of heavy fuel oils (HFO)

The module determines the physical properties of heavy fuel oils. Additionally the properties of Diesel, Gasoil and Lubeoil are included.

Tubesheet design for shell-and-tube heat exchangers (SPIE)

The SPIE module is a graphic system for the design of shell-and-tube heat exchanger tubesheets. It consists of a graphic and a numerical part. The tubesheet can be composed by the user himself in all details. 30000 tubes can be presented and edited. Tie rods and dummy tubes may be presented and considered as well.

You can create tubesheets with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 tube side passes by default.
The tubesheet is displayed in the program mask. It can be edited and documented. The tubesheet data can be saved to a tubesheet library and then be used in the LV heat exchanger programs WTS, KOND and VERD.
It is also possible to save the tubesheets in DXF format for further use in different CAD programs.

Reinforcement of flat walls and round ends, EN 13445-3 / Chapter 20 and 21 (EN20 module)

The EN20 module calculates reinforcements of flat walls acc. EN 13445-3 chapter 20 and radial reinforcement ribs of round flat ends acc. Chapter 21.

The program is divided into 3 calculation sections:

• 20 Stayed flat walls
• 21.4 Radially reinforced flat round ends without peripheral moment
• 21.5 Radially reinforced flat round ends with peripheral moment

Physical properties of sea water (SAWA)

The module determines the physical properties of seawater dependent on the salinity.

Metallic industrial piping according DIN EN 13480

ER06 module: Pipe fittings under internal pressure acc. EN 13480-3 chapter 6
ER07 module: Heads under internal pressure acc.EN 13480-3 chapter 7.1
ER08 module: Openings and branches acc. EN 13480-3 chapter 8

Design of plane rectangular tubes and partitioned chambers

Module B5A1 applies to pressure vessels of rectangular cross-section with and without drill hole lines. The design rules consider only deformations caused by internal pressure.

Pipe bends under internal pressure according AD 2000 B1 Appendix 1

The B1.1 module allows you to design pipe bends with variable wall thickness. The radius of curvature can be related to the inside or outside diameter. Furthermore, it is possible to prove elbows with the same wall thickness in accordance with DIN 2605 (3-d) and DIN 2606 (5-d). The required tables are implemented.

FE calculation for nozzles with nozzle loads

Some problems in pressure vessel design cannot or only insufficiently be solved by using the standard equations of the according code. With these problematic cases often an FE calculation is the only way to come to a solution. This calculation is usually quite complex and requires a certain amount of experience with the interpretation of the results.
