Output and Reports
•tLinks to Intergraph PV Fabricator™
To simplify inspection requirements, PV Elite lists the most important equations, such
as required thickness and maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), and
also groups results by type (e.g., internal pressure, external pressure, bending stress,
nozzles, and flanges). It summarizes overall results where it identifies the element or
detail controlling the overall vessel MAWP.
Materials and Codes
PV Elite is a global package with international code rules plus extensive region-specific
content. Vessel material definitions, piping and steel component data, local wind loads,
and local seismic loads of many regional markets are all included.
Interfaces
PV Elite interfaces with other popular software packages for finite element analysis,
foundation design, and drafting. PV Elite also shares a bi-directional link to Intergraph
CADWorx® Plant Professional module and PV Fabricator™.
