[vrkorada]

Can any one sugest a suitable software package for designing and detailing (including generation of fabrication drawings, Bill of materials etc.) for pressure vessels heat exchangers Process columns as per ASME Sec VIII Div.1&2,TEMA,BS-5500. The design should consider Wind and Seismic design as per International codes and user defined values.<br>
<br>
Your earlier suggestion will help me a lot.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

I have used COMPRESS for 6-7 years after trying several others.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are very pleased with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;They also have a complete suite of programs to estimate, design, and create drawings.

It not only does ASME Section VIII Div 1 but also Div II and BS-5500 codes. Tubesheets can be analyzed per ASME App AA and TEMA codes. <br><br>Wind and Seismic loading can be analyzed by various codes like UBC, AISC, NBC, Indian standard, g-loading and user-defined. For local loading it does WRC 107 and WRC 297 calculations. Visit there web site for more details. <br><br>You can compare it with other softwares and decide whose features are more useful to you.<br><br>Hope it helps,<br>Mandy<br>
