NozzlePro™
NozzlePRO is a unique and easy-to-use FEA tool for vessel and piping engineers. It is specifically designed to analyze individual nozzles (straight, hillside, pad-reinforced), saddles, lugs and pipe shoes. Reinforcing pads for lugs and wear plates for shoes and saddles can be integral and non-integral.
Features
ADVANCED MODULES
These modules were designed to add increased ease-of-use & design for the most common analysis needs. All of these modules use the FEA engine from FEPipe to perform the high-level calculations and reporting. All of the following modules are included with NozzlePRO v12.1 as specialized templates.
- MATpRO
- Fitness for Service
SERVICE PLAN MODULES
These modules were also designed to add increased ease-of-use & design for the most common analysis needs. Some of the STANDARD templates were converted to more simplified analysis tools. These modules are included with an active NozzlePRO v12.1 service plan.
• FE107
• FESIF
• FETee
