Revision of the tensile and compressive verification method of the tube bundle according to AD 2000 B5 §8.3.4 for heat exchangers with floating head
Starting from version 2026.0, the tensile and compressive verification method of tube bundles in heat exchangers with floating head has been revised to better align with AD 2000 B5 §8.3.4. The software no longer automatically determines the number of resistant tubes, requiring the user to define the effective load-bearing tubes and the corresponding area. The procedure is less automated but more consistent with the actual structural behavior.
