New Features
PVPTPro addition of Nonlinear analysis now includes the capability to perform nonlinear analysis for multiple nozzles and head types per ASME Section VIII Divison Division 2 Part 5, Para. 5.2.3 and 5.2.4. [PRG-1446]
NozzlePRO’s Vessel Link can now consume and perform analyses using CEI’s JSON files. [PRG-605]
MiMOut, the generic output processor, can now display results for 2D Axisymmetric and 3D Bricks [PRG-987]
NozzlePROin the following ways:
Displays results in NozzlePRO for Axisymmetric and Brick models.
AxiPRO/FlangePRO Displays results in FlangePRO (previously named as AxiPRO) for Axisymmetric and Brick Flange models.
Displays results in FEPipe for Axisymmetric and Brick Models

General Meshing Definition: Need in FEA for Piping and Pressure Vessels [PRG-1637]
Technical Meshing: Structured vs. Unstructured Meshing in PVPTPro [PRG-1638]
Issues Resolved
Performing FEA from the Drawing Tools corrected [PRG-1709]
Licensing
- PVPTPro addition of license flag for nonlinear analysis, feature ID 5479 [PRG-1446]
. [PRG-987]
Issues Resolved
You can now perform finite element analysis (FEA) as expected from the Drawing Tools. [PRG-1709]
NozzlePRO now adjusts a vessel’s diameter correctly. Previously, the diameter changed based on a model’s height instead of width. [PRG-1838]
When a user enters a large thermal expansion coefficient, NozzlePRO now runs as expected. Previously, the software would crash. [PRG-1715]
The software now predicts true stress and strain results with large thickness or thinning applied to geometries when performing nonlinear analyses of models. [PRG-1137]
FlangePRO now runs as expected when performing FEA on stress classification lines (SCL) type stresses and when the number of bolts is greater than 1. [PRG-1233]
Miscellaneous/Licensing
PVPTPro now includes a new license for the nonlinear analysis capability. [PRG-1446]
