AutoPIPE Vessel

Please add the possibility to design the attached nozzle. I regularly have this kind of model and the fatigue analysis is not possible in APV.

Please add the possibility to perform a fatigue analysis directly in ASME VII Div.1 without choosing Div.2. When I choose Div.2, all the calculations and the allowable stresses are of course different.

In the case of sketch f) of table 4, the factor C can rise to 0.45 if s > 3 s1. Nowadays, there is no way to get C = 0.45 with the models of flat heads offered by Autopipe Vessel.

Add compressive stress calculation according to EN13445 16.14.8 instead of PD5500 when the calculation code is EN. Allow calculation to be selected manually. Also provide control on factors relevant to calculation such as Cx, Cbx, Q, Tolerance cla...

API650 tanks can only be calculated with ASCE, sometimes it is required EN norms for wind and seismic design

This option is only available when floating head heat exchanger is calculated, for normal vessels it is not possible to use a crown (hemispherical) head welded direct into a flange without knuckle or straight flange.

Greece is a country with high seismic behaviour. Many industrial projects are on going in Greece, it would be beneficial to add Greek seismic code.

Nozzles design: Please provide an opction that considers the alternative calculation method when there is an insert forged pad

It would be useful to add the verification of the stresses during lifting when the equipment is inerted with nitrogen at 0.5 barg (or with another gas at another pressure). The temperature could be also selected (room or higher temperature). The e...

On many occasions, we find horizontal vessels that can be suspended from the ceiling. saddles should be able to be placed on the top of the equipment and should be calculated in traction and not compression.
