Fatigue Analysis Screening, Method B according to ASME Section VIII div 2 Clause 5.5.2.4 The fatigue screening allows to determine if a fatigue analysis is required as part of the vessel design. If the screening is satisfied, then a fatigue analysis is not required as part of the vessel design. What changes in the calculation of heat exchangers in the 2023 edition of the ASME BPVC?

How to import an ASME VIII material from Division 1 to Division 2 or vice-versa To import any material from Division 1 into the ASME VIII Division 2 material database or vice versa, simply follow these instructions ASME Code Case 2901, Division 1 UG-44(b) and Division 2 4.16.12 Implementation in NextGen of ASME Code Case 2901 and subsequent paragraphs Division 1 UG-44(b) and Division 2 4.16.12 Software validation and ASME PTB test cases NextGen software is continuously tested to ensure the consistency and correctness of its results, as well as the proper functioning of the user interface. For the American ASME codes, test cases provided directly by the Standard are also available, with which NextGen is verified. Why is an ASME material unusable at a certain temperature despite having the allowable and yield strength values? Within ASME, it can happen to receive an error when selecting a material due to too high a temperature Validation error in the verification of large openings on cylinders, with a ratio between the nozzle radius and the cylinder radius greater than 0.7 In version 2023.2 of NextGen we have introduced a change regarding openings according to ASME VIII Division 1 with an opening/shell ratio > 0.7 Errors exporting ASME U Forms Steps to Resolve Errors When Exporting ASME VIII Div. 1 U-Forms Getting started step-by-step guide A guide for those approaching NextGen for the first time, aimed to discover the user interface and create the first simple vessel Request to insert materials not available in the NextGen database While containing several thousands of materials, NextGen databases may not contain one or more necessary items.
