Codeware – Pressure Vessel Design, Welding & FFS Software

Israel “Izzy” Perez, Sales Manager

Company Bio:

Codeware is the leading provider of software for the design and analysis of ASME Section VIII pressure vessels and heat exchangers. Since 1985, Codeware’s Engineers have focused exclusively on meeting the engineering software needs of designers and users of vessels and exchangers. Over 1,300 companies currently rely on Codeware products.

Products:

Created by Engineers, COMPRESS[c] simplifies ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and 2 pressure vessel design and analysis. COMPRESS easily models virtually any vessel geometry from a single component to a complex multiple diameter tower. This flexibility makes COMPRESS ideal for use in new construction, re-rating existing equipment and performing mechanical integrity calculations. COMPRESS generates either detailed or abbreviated reports, the former suitable for use as a calculation audit trail. COMPRESS’ XML file output feature facilitates third party access to all data entered.

COMPRESS Exchanger[c] is a powerful tool for heat exchanger design and analysis. Exchanger operates in conjunction with COMPRESS and addresses both TEMA and ASME UHX rules. Exchanger’s TEMA specification sheet style wizard creates usable heat exchanger models with a minimum of data entry. To further reduce data input, COMPRESS Exchanger features an interactive, bi-directional interface to HTRI’s Xchanger Suite[R] that supports HTRI[R] file access. Codeware’s Tube Layout[c] is included to assist in optimizing tube placement. Tube layout and setting plan drawings are exported as DXF or DWG files.

Vessel Drafter[c] converts files generated by COMPRESS into fabrication ready drawings. Vessel Drafter supports AutoCAD[c] releases 2000 through 2005.

Vessel Coster[c] produces reliable vessel cost estimates from COMPRESS models.
