Pressure Vessel Software
(OP)
My company is thinking about purchasing pressure vessel design software. Could anyone with experience please recommend a quality program with the following capabilities:
1) Pressure vessel design (head / shell thickness etc...)
2) Wind / Seismic design
3) Leg / Lug design (vertical vessels)
4) Saddle design (horizontal vessels)
The "Advanced Pressure Vessel" program from Computer Engineering has been recommended.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.

RE: Pressure Vessel Software
In my experience, I have seen APV, PV Elite and Compress, in the above three software, the best software is Compress to fulfill your requirements.
Compress software is available in two versions that are Dos & Window version, and there is a lot of future available in the window version.
You can visualize the object and you can find out the fouling or classing among the pressure vessel parts and accessories, and you can relocate to avoid the fouling in the initial design stage itself.
you can find more details regarding this software in the website : www.codeware.com
Good luck

I agree with babumathan. I have worked with both Compress and APV and Compress is by far the more user friendly program.
Compress will analyze and help you to design saddles, support lugs, and skirts. It produces some excellent report calculations that are easy to follow and understand.
APV is not a bad program, it just has some idosyncracies that make it user unfriendly. I also found that Compress support was much more ready and able to answer my questions than the APV support staff.
I would definetly check out Compress at www.codeware.com and see for yourself how it compares to APV.

I found Compress the best. PVElite also works well.

Have you completed the Codeware training classes & did you get your CEU credit.
