Hello All,
As you know, a new Edition of the Code will be published at the 1st of July.
As part of my job I am the responsible for preforming Code calculations and FEAs.
I'm using ASME VIII-1 U-2(g) which allows the use of FEA (following to Man. App. 46).
And preforming FEA in accordance with ASME VIII-2 5.2.2.
Assuming there will be no changes in the upcoming Edition (No changes in ASME VIII-2 Part 5 nor in U-2(g)/MA 46) does my FEA reports need to be update to the new revision or I can still use them although they were made in accordance with the 2019 Edition?
For example – there is no need to preform new Proof Test with every new Code Edition, it is enough to demonstrate that the exist Proof Test is still valid.
Thank you
