Computer Programs for Code alculations
(OP)
If you are using software for ASME Section 8 code calculations and the software manufacturer has reviewed the software for compliance with appropriate code edition and addenda, is this sufficient to comply with the requirements of the code? Is the addressed in the Code?

However,your point of view requiring manual calculations in all cases is out of date. Further,all of the Joint Reviews including Nuclear I have participated in for the last 5 years,manual calculations have not been mandated. Most manufacturers would fight having this in their QC Manual.
Does the Certificate holder need to verify? Yes. Can the local jurisdiction require it? Yes. Does it need to be performed to the satisfaction of the AI? Yes.
The Code is gradually addressing more and more electronic
data. There are some good programs out there and it should not be required to redo acceptable work if all the requirements are met in any manner.

Do you know how components that don't have a direct calculation for t(required) (Appendix 2 flanges, cone shell junctures nozzles etc) are handled?
What SOFTWARE application is good for ASME SCETION I, POWER BOILERS, Deaign re: PG-27, PG-28,PG-29,PG-30, PG-31; and PFT-13.
