COADE Announces PV Elite 2008 for Pressure Vessel Design and Stress Analysis With Code Updates and Productivity Enhancements

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--COADE announced today the release of PV Elite 2008, an enhanced
edition of the company's popular integrated pressure vessel design and
analysis software that incorporates the latest ASME code updates to
Section VIII Division 1. To help boost productivity, many more items
can now be globally modified for "what if" cost and engineering
scenarios. New features in PV Elite 2008 allow you to create tubesheet
layouts for shell and tube heat exchangers and generate ASME U-1 forms
with design information directly from PV Elite in Microsoft Excel
format for easy customization. Also, new graphical improvements
provide enhanced representations of goose neck nozzles from bottom
heads plus lug and support pads. New international codes include
Australian seismic code 1170.4-1993, Canadian 2005 seismic and wind
codes, the European EN 1991-1-4:2005 (E) wind code and the updated
Australian Wind code. COADE is also releasing CodeCalc 2008, an
updated edition of the engineering software company's tool for
individual vessel component design and analysis that comes as part of
PV Elite. A complete list of the enhancements in PV Elite 2008 and
Code Calc 2008 is available at www.coade.com.

PV Elite designs and evaluates pressure vessels and their
components in accordance with ASME BPVC, PD-5500 and EN-13445. PV
Elite provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators and
inspectors with complete design of tall towers, horizontal vessels,
"pots and pans" and individual vessel components. The software was
designed for quick start up, and its graphical modeling capabilities
are easy to use and allow for quick data assembly and pressure vessel
design and analysis.
