CADWorx P&ID

CADWorx P&ID is an intelligent project reporting solution, incorporating powerful tools for

  • Electrical & Instrumentation
  • Loop Diagramming functions and Internet Publishing

Use CADWorx P&ID to create P&IDs without changing the look of the drawing or the symbols that are used. The Professional version also allows the addition of component information linked to external databases.

The symbols library is extensive, with the ability to add additional symbols and assemblies without programming. These added symbols have full CADWorx functionality and intelligence.

CADWorx P&ID Professional allows the easy creation of user-defined databases with bi-directional links to the project drawings. Now information is never out of synchronisation.

Any number of documents can easily be linked to their P&ID components with CADWorx P&ID Professional.

CAESAR II

CAESAR II is a complete pipe stress analysis software program which has become the standard for pipe stress analysis. It is the software preferred worldwide by owner operators, major contractors and engineering firms. It is therefore the program by which all others are measured.

CAESAR II includes a full range of the latest international piping codes and it provides for the static and dynamic analysis of piping systems. Calculation capabilities include fibre reinforced plastic, buried piping, wind, wave and earthquake loading, expansion joints, valves, flanges and vessel nozzles, pipe components and nozzle flexibilities.

The program models structural steel and provides spectrum and time history analysis and automatic spring sizing.

CAESAR II includes an extensive material database with allowable stresses for most design codes, in addition to component databases for valves, flanges and expansion joints.

CAESAR II has a bi-directional link with CADWorx Plant, a comprehensive 3D modelling and drafting package. When used together significant productivity gains can be achieved.

Version 5.10 of CAESAR II includes a number of additional capabilities including

  • In-line flange evaluation
  • The direct importing of a CADWorx Plant model including vessels, steelwork and other equipment for visualisation
  • The importing and exporting of custom report templates
  • Input graphics speed improvements between 20% and 50%
  • Additional European materials and component databases

CAESAR II software is tested using stringent quality assurance standards and is fully supported by a trained team at Fern backed up by COADE's software engineers and programmers.

PV-Elite and CodeCalc

PV-Elite is a comprehensive program for the complete structural design or analysis of vertical towers and horizontal vessels according to latest standards from ASME VIII (Div 1 and Div 2), PD 5500 and EN 13445.

Heat Exchangers and tubesheets can be designed in accordance with ASME UHX, TEMA and PD 5500 requirements.

Local stress analysis on nozzles may be performed in accordance with WRC 107, WRC 297, PD 5500, or using Finite Element techniques provided by NozzlePRO Finite Element Analysis software.

PV-Elite evaluates the entire vessel, analysing the effects of vessel deadweight and bending due to wind and seismic loads. It combines these overall loads with pressure to design and/or check the vessel wall thickness. Basing stress calculations on this total structural load ensures sufficient wall thickness for the vessel in its operating environment and ensures proper design of the vessel supports.

Wind and seismic design can be carried out in accordance with a number of design codes including NBC, UBC, ASCE, BS 6399, Euro Code, IBC, user defined, 'g' loading, Response Spectrum and many others. Fitness for Service per API-579 can be performed for the assessment of remaining life for vessels with flaws, corrosion etc.

PV-Elite has comprehensive material databases for ASME, BS and European (EN) materials. CodeCalc is included within PV-Elite.

CodeCalc provides individual analysis and assessment of Pressure Vessel components in accordance with the ASME code.

 

 

FEPipe

FEPipe is a template-driven Finite Element software package, designed specifically for the needs of the piping and pressure vessel industries. FEPipe plus its associated modules in the PRO series, generates automatic code compliance reports such as comparisons to ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Appendix 4 and 5 rules and stress categories. Build models, such as intersections, flanges, saddles, low tank settlement, structural steel, are all created in a matter of minutes. FEPipe brings engineering to the real world.

Other codes/methods are considered for comparative calculations, including

  • SIFs and Flexibilities for B31.1, B31.3 and any other piping code
  • WRC 107/297 Nozzle Stress Calculations
  • N-318 Lug Calculations
  • N-392 Round Attachment Calculation
  • Code area replacement calculations at nozzles
  • Zick calculation for saddle supported vessels (satisfies new Division 2 and PD 5500)
  • Nozzle Flexibilities per WRC297 and NB3685

In addition to 'standard' analyses, FEPipe can perform calculations to assess

  • Buckling
  • Plasticity
  • Thermal Flow
  • Boundary Conditions to Simulate LNG or LN2 or Liquid Evaporation & Flow
  • Uniform Soil Stiffness Modeling

FEPipe automatically calculates stress intensification factors, flexibilities and allowable loads on nozzles, and interfaces with the structural model for CAESAR II and other pipe stress programs.

Included in FEPipe are

  • StressPLOT linearises 2D and 3D stress results according to WRC429. Plot features allow visualisation of stress values through the thickness. Plot transient thermal temperatures, displacements or stresses.
  • PlasPLOT is a real-time monitor for plastic solutions. While a non-linear solution is running, view the convergence, elastic and elastic-plastic strains.

Each copy of FEPipe also includes the NozzlePRO and AxiPRO modules.

 

NozzlePRO

NozzlePRO is designed to quickly and easily evaluate nozzles, saddles, pipe shoes and clips. A variety of head types are allowed including spherical, elliptical, ASME dished, cylindrical and conical. The FE model is generated quickly and easily in a matter of minutes with a minimum of input. The engineer is able to include loads such as thermal, weight, operating, occasional, pressure, wind and earthquake.

NozzlePRO includes the Saddle Wizard and has an interface with PV-Elite such that nozzles created in PV-Elite may be assessed quickly and easily using FEA with minimum additional input.

NozzlePRO should be used by piping and vessel designers in a variety of everyday situations where long established methods such as WRC or PD 5500 are over or under conservative, or are simply not applicable due to the imposed limitations on geometry.

NozzlePRO is included with FEPipe.
