New Features

  • You can now model structural attachments together with nozzles in PVPTPro. PRG-2765

  • You can now model up to eight attachments in PVPTPro. PRG-2781

Important: Additional licensing is required for this item. Contact your account manager or sales@paulin.com to enable this feature on your device.

  • ASME B31J-2023 code updates are now included in PCLGold and FEATools for compliance validation. PRG-2941

  • Konnect™ and Vessel Link can now read and analyze lugs and rings from JSON. PRG-2955

Important: A feature flag (ID 290) is required for this item. Contact your account manager or sales@paulin.com to enable this feature on your device.

Note: The JSON export button allows users to import and export design files from CEI’s suite of software products like DesignCalcs and Finglow (and vise versa into PRG’s products) for further code validation, design assistance, or FEA analysis.

  • Konnect™ can now analyze and plot CAD models by location without an underlying beam model, which allows users to join and lock the model to the vessel and piping from X, Y, or Z coordinates or by elevation, north, east, west, or south coordinates. PRG-2540

  • Under Help, you can now click Check for Updates to verify that you are using the latest version of Paulin Research Group software or check for additional updates. PRG-3002

  • You can now import version 14 of CAESAR II®️ into the below Paulin Research Group products. PRG-2778

    • FEATools Piping FEA Translator

    • Konnect™

    • PCLGold

    • MiMOut

    • PipeSupportPro

    • BOS B31

  • 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 in NozzlePRO now 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, all material proprieties now display correct yield stress values. Previously, some properties from Table 2A, ASME II-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. 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

  • No labels
