Pressure Vessel Analysis using PV Elite
Pressure Vessel Analysis using PV Elite
About the course
Getting started using PV Elite for pressure vessel design and analysis, reviewing calculations, or wanting to broaden your skills in this software? This learning path teaches you how to design all common pressure vessels and heat exchangers conform ASME B&PV VIII and EN 13445 using PV Elite and CodeCalc.
This learning path is split into 7 courses, and starts by first taking the participant through the user interfaces in PV-Elite and then designing a simple pressure vessel. Through the following courses, all common features of PV-Elite are covered with specific courses on nozzles, openings, flanges, heat exchanger tubesheets and saddles, during which the input of loads and the output reporting will be explained.
The in-depth content within these courses takes the form of video lectures and exercises. Here the participant has the opportunity to attempt the exercises and then follow the extensive recorded explanation from the instructors. Thereby providing the skills needed for pressure vessel design in PV Elite according to ASME VIII-1 or EN 13445.
