Errors:

885 Tubesheet: tubesheets gasketed with shell are not possible for a fixed tubesheets heat exchanger

How to resolve?

Solution:

There is a detailed in section C7.5 of CODAP Division 2 (Edition 2010) dedicated to Fixed tube sheet exchanger and Alternative rules; wherein configuration 'd' covers tube sheet gasketed on both sides, clamped between flanges. However at this time, April 2019, AutoPIPE Vessel does not have the ability to model this type of configuration. A new enhancement (1021806) has been logged and should be added to a future version of the program. 

If you have this issue, please log a Service Request, referencing this WIKI and asking if this modeling approach has been added to the program.
