| Design Codes and Analysis Capabilities
PVElite is a comprehensive solution for a complete, structural design of tall process towers and horizontal vessels. Design Codes and Standards Implemented COADE’s software keeps pace with the development of vessel design codes and standards by incorporating code changes and releasing product updates as these changes become mandatory. The codes and standards implemented in PVElite include:
The program includes following databases:
Analysis Capabilities: PVElite has a Component Analysis Module (also known as CodeCalc) and a complete integrated vessel modeling module. |

The integrated vessel module of PVElite can perform both new design and re-rate of an existing design. For new Vessel design, PVElite can quickly set required wall thickness for heads, shells and cones, and size components for valid combinations of pressure (internal and external), deadweight (erected, operating and hydrostatic test conditions), and wind and seismic live loads. The program sums the weights of each element and all its details to calculate the compressive stresses in the vessel wall. The live loads bend the vessel, creating both tensile and compressive stresses in the vessel wall. Pressure, too, causes either tensile or compressive longitudinal stresses in the vessel wall. PVElite combines these stresses and adjusts the vessel wall on an element-by-element basis to ensure that this new vessel meets the minimum requirements for both tension and compression.
PVElite is also quick with vessel re-rates. Simply update the corrosion allowance or change the temperature and pressure requirements to have the program re-calculate the vessel’s MAWP– including the MAWP of attached flanges.
