PRG 2021 Release; FEPipe, NozzlePRO, FEATools
The new version of the PRG Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software suite has been released. PRG 2021 contains FEPipe v15.0, NozzlePRO v15.0 and FEATools v15.0 and additional FEA programs and modules.
The PRG 2021 FEA suite has been designed to meet the specific needs of the pressure vessel and piping industries. The main advantage of the PRG software suite is the ability to rapidly construct PV&P geometries and automatically produce ASME stress reports. Results are presented in terms of ASME requirements instead of generalized stress results.
The FEPipe license provides access to the complete suite, which now also includes FEATools. FEATools v15.0 transforms your piping model (CAESAR II and PCL-Gold) by including upgraded branch connections (with the addition of rigid elements and restraints) to better simulate real-world displacement and forces. The FEA-based calculations provide the necessary k-factors, SSIs and SIFs that will be added to every branch connection.
The FEA translator from FEATools is new in the PRG2021 suite.
