New Product: Features

• Konnect^TM

...

...

• Import Finglow vessels through JSON interface. Konnect creates a beam model to be used in the analysis.

• Import COMPRESS vessels through XML interface. Konnect creates a beam model to be used in the analysis.

• Import piping models (PCLGold and CAESAR II) and is now available within the PRG suite of software products, and the following features are accessible to customers:

  • You can now import vessels models created in Finglow; Konnect then creates a beam model of that vessel and a beam analysis can be performed.

  • You can now import COMPRESS®️ vessels into a comprehensive common format (through XML); Konnect then creates a beam model of that vessel and a beam analysis can be performed.

  • You can now import piping models from PRG’s PCLGold or CAESAR II®️ and then analyze them independently through PCLGold.

  Import

  • You can now import structural models

  (

  • from PCLGold

  ) Import CAD (STL file format

  • and combine them with piping and vessel models.

• Join vessels with piping models to be analyzed in conjunction.

• • You can now combine vessel and piping models in one cohesive model (of a plant system) to then be analyzed together at the same time.

  • You can now import a CAD model (from a STL file) into Konnect through the Konnect SEM (Sensitive Equipment Module)

  to join with

  • and combine piping and vessel models together.

  Perform local FEA through NozzlePRO

  • You can now perform local finite element analysis (FEA) for nozzles and structures within the software from NozzlePRO; Konnect^{includes a native integration with NozzlePRO.}

  Perform

  • You can now perform local FEA

  through PVPTPro

  • for multiple nozzles

  , to see

  • at the same time to visualize the stiffness and stress interaction among them within the software from PVPTPro; Konnect includes a native integration with PVPTPro.

New Features

• PVPTPro ability to open the underlying FEPipe template for the loaded model for further modifications [PRG-1666]

  • Add additional nozzles

  • Add [PRG-1735]

• The following features are now available in PVPTPro:

• Vessel Link to call PVPTPro for analysis of multiple nozzles

  • A FEPipe button is now displayed on the ribbon of PVPTPro, and the software can now open underlying design templates from FEPipe so that the user can make further changes to their uploaded model, like:

    • Adding additional nozzles,

    • Adding structures to analyze in conjunction with nozzles,

    Join

    • Connecting a model to other FEPipe models to

    model

    • create a complete vessel, and

    Adjust

    • Adjusting meshing parameters to optimize results

...

• • • . [PRG-1666]

      Image Added

  • You can now add nozzle inserts for all four nozzle types in PVPTPro; a nozzle insert is the internal projection of a nozzle. Previously, you could only model an external projection, but now you can model both. [PRG-1684]

  • You can now model trunnions in PVPTPro; the software does not cut a hole on the parent/host when modeling nozzles. [PRG-1684]

  • The ANALYZE All Nozzles in Cylinder #1 option is now available so that you can analyze multiple nozzles in PVPTPro. [PRG-1858]

...

Issues Corrected

• Correction of display of rigid The following corrections have been made regarding DirectX 11, the 3D viewer available within PRG software:

  • Rigid elements with no weight

  in the 3d viewer

  • now display correctly. [PRG-1933]

  Correction of restraint symbols in the 3d viewer

  • Restraint symbols now display correctly. [PRG-1939]

  Miscellaneous memory fixes in the 3d viewer

  • A number of miscellaneous memory items now work as expected. [PRG-1998]

• Removed Email functionality from The email functionality has been removed in NozzlePRO and other PRG products . This option is not available anymore due to ongoing issues. [PRG-878]

Licensing/Miscellaneous

• Konnect White Paper Corrected issue running FEA from Finglow 2D and 3D [PRG-2016]

• Corrected licensing check to access FEPipe templates for Y-Fittings, 3D Brick Olets and Simple Flange [PRG-19052236]
