Twice Yield fatigue calculations using the cyclic stress-strain curve has been implemented into the Plastic, Large Rotation, Arc-Length Solver. PRG-3134
The extrapolation algorithm has been improved and implemented for shells, axisymmetric, and brick geometries. PRG-3118
The text reports report in NozzlePRO now include includes zero loads to show that absent weight loads, where no value is imputed, is still accounted for in the analysis displayed as 0. PRG-2925
Issues Resolved
In MatPRO, a warning message is now displayed when the hot allowable stress value is set to 0, prompting the user’s review. Previously, the software did not allow 0 to be set as the hot allowable stress value, which may have caused an inaccurate out-of-range analysis in accordance with ASME Section II, Part D. PRG-2987
...
In MatPRO, all material proprieties now display correct yield stress values. Previously, some properties from Table 2A, ASME Section II-, Part D 2023 displayed the wrong values. PRG-3156
In FEPipe, the Lookup Material Database button in the Bend Leg template now loads and displays the material database as expected. PRG-3209
Overturning moments for brick models in NozzlePRO are now accounted for and work as expected. Previously, when a user entered an overturning moment for skirts, the loads were not considered in the analysis. PRG-2885
When importing hillside nozzles from DesignCalcs or Finglow with Vessel Link, the models now display as they should in Paulin Research Group’s products. Previously, the orientation and geometry of the model would display incorrectly in some cases. PRG-3054
The Flange Calculator in FlangePRO now converts English units correctly. PRG-3211
PVPTPro (cloud version) now plots the uploaded model as expected. PRG-3155
In NozzlePRO, header loads for parent geometries without an attachment are now included in the analysis. PRG-2534
