PVElite is a comprehensive program for the complete structural design or analysis of tall towers,  horizontal vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers according to latest standards from ASME Section  VIII Division 1 & 2, PD 5500 (British Code), EN 13445 and rerate the vessel as per API-579.

 PVElite evaluates the entire vessel, analyzing the effects of weight and bending due to wind and seismic  loads. It combines these overall loads with pressure to design and/or check 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.

 PV Elite provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators and inspectors around
 the world with solutions that match their pressure vessel design requirements. Because
 the program is easy to learn and use, it is perfect for both full-time vessel designers and
 for those occasional users who require quick start up and confidence in their safety code
 calculations.

 Element types include cylindrical shells; elliptical, spherical, torispherical, conical and flat heads; conical  sections (including knuckles); body flanges; and skirts with base ring details. The program provides  base ring, saddle, leg and lug design and also includes modules for analyzing vessel components such  as nozzles, flanges, base ring and other vessel components.

 To make the design process easy, the status bar constantly displays the position of the current  element, its required thickness, its maximum allowable working pressure and its maximum allowable  pressure in the new and cold condition. It can be used for both new design or re-rating. Graphic  presentation keeps your data organized and confirms the integrity of the model.
