Complex geometries present unique challenges in finite element analysis (FEA), often leading to increased modeling time and validation difficulties. FEPipe addresses these challenges head-on by offering advanced meshing controls that enable users to define critical design parameters with precision. From specifying rings and angles to controlling element counts in nozzle reinforcement welds, FEPipe ensures that every detail contributes to a solid model. FEPipe is equipped with a comprehensive library of templates tailored for pressure vessel and piping geometries, facilitating engineers to create intricate models efficiently. Features like surface improvement options and element smoothing allow for enhanced mesh quality, addressing common pitfalls associated with sharp corners in mesh layouts and poorly shaped elements. Additionally, PRG also provides detailed meshing solutions in PVPTPro and NozzlePRO, ensuring a cohesive workflow across all your projects.

Are you finding it difficult to interpret codes that only support either leakage-based or stress-based analysis, leaving you without clear direction? We understand the challenge of having to compromise on one critical aspect of your engineering projects. Whether you’re a pipe stress engineer, stress engineer, or reliability engineer, you need a solution that addresses all your needs comprehensively. Our advanced FEA solution, FlangePRO, is designed to bridge the gap between leakage and stress analysis. Unlike regular solutions that only support one type of analysis, FlangePRO offers both, providing focused direction and innovative functionalities tailored to your specific requirements. With FlangePRO, you no longer have to settle for less. Our solution ensures that you can perform both leakage and stress analysis with precision and ease, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of your projects. Achieve engineering excellence with FlangePRO.

As an engineer or stress analyst, do you often face unexpected flange leaks that disrupt your operations and drain your resources? Try FlangePRO. Our advanced FEA tool simplifies flange design and analysis, predicting leaks and ensuring compliance with global standards. With features like automatic FEA analysis, stress visualization, and gasket modeling, FlangePRO helps you prevent leaks caused by pressure, external loads, or poor gasket seating. It supports linear and nonlinear stiffness models, including a nonlinear approach similar to the PVRC method for accurately assessing gasket stress under varying conditions. FlangePRO provides design checks for ASME Section VIII, Div 2, ASME Appendix 2, ASME BFJ, and EN 13445 Annex G. It allows engineers to check their design against a variety of codes while also comparing the FEA results to the code calculations for the same geometries, ensuring that your flange joints are not only compliant but also robust and reliable. FlangePRO's advanced functionalities do not stop here.
