interested in using PASS/Start-Prof.

I saw Alex Matveeff posting on here. Would you get in touch with me?
I'm evaluating between AutoPIPE, CAEPIPE and PASS to determine what's most user friendly. I'm new to this pipe stress but am tired of waiting on consultants.
I have also emailed your software company.

Note you really shouldn't be starting pipe stress alone. Even after taking a course, there's a lot to learn and you need an experienced engineer to help guide you through it.

Learning how to use a program is the easy part. Knowing what to do in the program and how to interpret the results/make changes is another thing entirely.

Also consider who you might need to share the stress models with. What programme do they use?

 

[Alex Matveeff]

It is not a problem. START-PROF has a free viewer. Anyone can download it and check the model and analysis results

Thats nice, but some clients only use Caesar II or whatever their preferred program is

 

[Alex Matveeff]

these are signs of a monopoly

Man, I know you've started a competitor and all that, but no.

Clients and customers have preferences on everything from datasheet formats, P&ID lead sheets, and programs to be used. It's very logical for them to say "we want this format/program/output" so things are consistent and they don't have to develop familiarity with some random output again next time it comes up.
