History
Changes made at version 4.006G included
- A problem related to torispherical head design in PD 5500 was fixed.
- European material properties are now available for vessels designed to EN 13445 and PD 5500. The materials are drawn from EN 10028; EN 10222; EN 10216; EN 10217; and EN 10269. In EN 10028 and EN 10222, materials with defined low-temperature properties have been omitted,
- A problem with visualizatin of Klöpper and Korbbogen heads was fixed.
- In PD 5500 local load calculations, the barrel length was incorrect when it was next to a cone. Fixed.
- Numerous problems with the PVE5 input data report have been fixed. These nearly all related to changes in data not having corresponding changes the input data report.
Changes made at version 4.006F included
- Fix: PVE5 - Correct shear stress overview output for PD 5500 Annex G local load calculations when a pad is present.
- Update: PVE5 - For ASME nozzle calculations, follow the logic and notation of the 2010 code for UG-45.
- Latest: 15/03/2012 - Updated dongle driver. This fixes a problem with windows 7.
Changes at version 4.006E included
- Fix: FDA5 - problems with floating head flange with backing ring.
Changes at version 4.006D included
- Fix: TSD5 - was showing design stress units as kN/mm2 when N/mm2 was intended.
- Fix: TSD5 - UHX design was converging to an unrealistically large tubesheet thickness.
Changes at version 4.006C included
- Fix: WRC 107 /WRC 297 was using the pad diameter as the pad thickness for a nozzle.
- Fix: in nozzle design, stainless series schedules were not being reprinted correctly in PD 5500 overview data reprint.
- New: PVE5 can now work as a dongleless demo.
- PD 5500: the 2009 edition has been implemented.
- PD 5500: more ASTM materials of Enquiry Case 91 have been included.
- ASME: the 2009 addenda of the 2007 code have been implemented.
- EN 13445: now to the 2009 edition.
Changes at version 4.006B included
- Fix: divide-by-zero for column design when the top component was a flange.
- Fix: Local load calculations were using the shell design stress when calculating stress in a nozzle due to pressure.
Changes at version 4.006A included
- Fix: in the ASME code, some product forms were not recognized.
