Why take this course?

Build practical skills in PV Elite and CodeCalc for pressure-vessel and heat-exchanger design. Across seven courses, you will work through the software interfaces, vessel setup, nozzles, openings, flanges, tubesheets, saddles, load input, and output reporting. Video lessons, quizzes, and worked exercises show how these workflows support designs according to ASME BPVC VIII, EN 13445, and PD 5500.

About the course

This learning path gives engineers a structured introduction to pressure-vessel and heat-exchanger design using PV Elite and CodeCalc. It is designed for engineers who are starting with PV Elite, moving from another software package, or reviewing pressure-vessel calculations produced in PV Elite.

The seven-course learning path starts with the PV Elite and CodeCalc user interfaces and the design of a simple pressure vessel. It then covers vertical and horizontal vessels, heat exchangers, nozzles, openings, flanges, tubesheets, saddles, lugs, legs, jacketed vessels, load input, and output reporting.

The learning path combines video lectures, quizzes, and structured exercises. Participants can attempt the exercises before following the recorded worked solutions for designs using ASME BPVC VIII, EN 13445, and PD 5500.
