PV Elite

Pressure Vessel & Heat Exchanger Design & Analysis Software

PV Elite® is a complete solution for vessel and heat exchanger design, analysis, and evaluation. The program is easy to learn and use so it is perfect for users requiring fast start-up and confidence in their safety code calculations. PV Elite considers the whole vessel, addressing all of the wall thickness rules and stress analysis requirements for vertical towers, horizontal vessels, and heat exchangers. It also evaluates and re-rates existing vessels, including Fitness for Service analysis…..

Powerful Integration Capabilities PV Elite shares a bi-directional link to CADWorx® Equipment module allowing the flow of data and model from design to analysis and back. PV Elite also shares links to other Intergraph SmartPlant suite products.
For the generation of fabrication drawings, the free PV Elite plugins provide a path to import a PV Elite model into 3D Solid Modelers, including all analysis data to easily generate 2D drawings, including annotations with data directly from the analysis model. PV Elite also interfaces with other popular software packages for finite element analysis, Heat Transfer thermal design, foundation design and drafting.
