NEW (A09) UHX TUBESHEET CALCULATIONS

NEW (A09) UHX TUBESHEET CALCULATIONS

(OP)
The latest ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 1 2007 (A09) became mandatory in January, including the moderately revised UHX tubesheet calculations.  This is also the year our company is re-evaluated to maintain our code stamps, so we must verify our software by a separate means (we currently use BJAC, which has proven to be unreliable on more than one occasion).
I have made a MCAD template to run the latest UHX-13 Fixed tubesheet calculations (the template runs seven simultanious load cases with iteration), but it is complex and I don't have any reliable examples to verify my template against.  Hand calculations are not practical, and ASME never updated the UHX-20 examples to their latest addendum.

Does anyone know where I can find some reliable examples with results, or know of some other method I can use to verify my MCAD calcs.

I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to handle this situation.
