Release 33.1

• AutoPIPE Vessel (Microprotol) branding.

• Tanks according to l'API 650 2011.

• Calculation of the guided columns. Modification of the modeling. This may cause some changes in the results. Intermediate heads may be taken into account in the equivalent beam and their thickness can be increased.

• Correction of the calculation of the bending stress in the weld of the lifting lugs.

• The heights of liquid for exchangers relate to the reference line of the vessel.

• Vertical exchangers: the hydrostatic height is taken into account in bundle tubes and floating heads.

• Correction of conical head weight.

• Correction of jacket closure weight.

• Correction of volume of liquid in a shell positioned on the concave side of an intermediate head.

• Extended tubesheet with separated bolting and with different faces is taken into account.

• Anchorage (CODAP and Thompson): correction of the case without compression in concrete.

• AD2000 S1 (fatigue): correction of N100 value.

• Local loads: allowance (12.5%) for piping is taken into account.

• Flanges GOST

• EN 13445-3 Set-On Nozzles: interpretation No. (2009) 3-09-04.

• AD B6: taking into account out-of-roundness of shell in junction with a head.

• ASME UCS-79: correction of calculation for conical shell with or without flare and/or knuckle.

• Update CODAP 2010

• Update PD 5500 2012-06

• Update API 650 12th

• Vessel on Legs : new calculation method.

• Tank : supported roof with several support columns.

• CODAP fixed tubesheets : modulus of elasticity @ design temperature.

• PD 5500 : straight flange of head corrected under external pressure.

• PD 5500: wrong calculation of the stress in heads for saddles

• MDMT ASME: correction of application of UG20(f)(f1)

• TEMA Expansion Bellow: to prevent an overflow in the life cycle a limit has been added.

• Test Pressure calculation: nozzles on nozzle were not taken into account

• AD-2000 Merkblatt B7/B8 clarification of the report

• EN13445 + AD : bundle tube under external pressure, correction of coefficient in Test Condition .

• GOST R 52857.7: tubesheet, correction of calculation of differential pressure.

• GOST R 52857.2: flanges, correction of  magnitude coefficient . correction of Modulus of Elasticty unit.Correction of calculation s1p according to 7.2 + figure 18.

• GOST R 52857.3: local loads according to 6.2.1, scope of application is 0.001<=s/Rc<=0.1

• Vessels-on-legs: corrosion was wrong for local loads on cylindrical shell.

Limitations:

• This version is supported on AutoCAD 2014 and lower
