The new 2004 release of VES contains a significant amount of new
features and improvements. The development of the software is a
continuous process and is for a major part depending on user comments.
We very much appreciate the comments and encourage these initiatives
for us to improve the software to a world class application.
| 1. |
General |
| |
Alert cells: the ASME and RTOD calculation output
will show and print calculation errors in red
bold font. |
| |
 |
| |
The data input sheets have buttons for easy access
to material, bolting, gasket and pipe schedule selection |
| |
 |
| |
The project, item and part tag numbers are editable.
You can now change the project and item tag numbers. |
| |
 |
| |
The project record has a new field called 'Engineering
company'. This field is printed on each output sheet along with
the name of the engineer. |
| |
 |
| |
New hardlock settings windows for easy access
the dongle driver settings. |
| |
 |
| |
Item import facilities. You can now import items
from one database to another. |
| |
 |
| |
The material database has new materials
- EN 10028 2/3/6: Flat products (part 7 will follow)
- EN 10216 2/3/5: Seamless steel tubes
- EN 10217 2/3/5: Welded steel tubes
- EN 10222 2/4: Steel forgings
- EN 10269: Fasteners
- RToD M0803: Seamless fittings
- ASME II PartD: New materials are added, especially non
ferrous (Table B).
- ASME B31.3: Pipe and fitting materials
For all materials that can be find in both the RToD and the
ASME II Part D the allowable stresses values for both codes
are checked and updated.
|
| |
 |
| |
The material selection window has changed. More
information about the material is displayed like the UNS or
Werkstof number, the nominal composition and the document reference.
It is also possible filter the material by applicable code (ASME
/ RToD / EN). |
| |
New data fields are added to the material database:
- UNS/Werkstof number
- Document reference
- ISO grouping "
- % Elongation after rupture
- Material structure (Ferritic, Austenitic ..)
- Heat treatment
- 1% yield table (at 100.000h)
- min. and max applicable thickness
|
| |
New pipe schedule standards: ISO 4200 en EN pipe
dimensions
|
| |
|
| 2. |

|
| |
New features |
| |
- UG-32 / 33 Calculate both P allowable and required thickness.
- UG-32 / 33 Cones with and without knuckle
- UG 27 / 28 Calculate both P allowable and required thickness.
- UG-37 Nozzle on heads has now a graphical display to position
the nozzle on the head use drag and drop with the mouse
device
|
