FE/Pipe
FE/Pipe
FE/Pipe is a finite element analysis specifically designed for use in the pressure vessel and piping (PVP) industry. What separates FE/Pipe from the rest of the general FEA tools is its ability to rapidly construct PVP geometries and produce ASME stress reports. FE/Pipe makes modeling typical pressure vessel and piping geometries faster and easier than is possible with general FEA tools due to the parametric design philosophy. The parametric approach used in FE/Pipe permits even novice finite element analysts to construct accurate models using only dimensional input. FE/Pipe automatically creates the model geometry, element mesh, applied loads, and boundary conditions based on standard dimensions.
Results are presented in terms of ASME requirements instead
of generalized stress tensors and stress intensities as would typically be
found in general FEA tools.
