Import a smart COMPRESS pressure vessel model into Autodesk Inventor using the Codeware Interface add-in. Once imported, Inventor's built-in capabilities make editing easy. There is no additional charge for the Codeware Interface add-in provided that your company has current COMPRESS support. Having trouble viewing this video? Download video (.wmv 4MB) [...]
The COMPRESS user interface and basic program operations are covered in this short training video. COMPRESS boosts engineering productivity by handling the complex rules of the ASME Code. It performs comprehensive engineering calculations and allows you to quickly produce customized pressure vessel and heat exchanger design reports. COMPRESS saves time and helps [...]
ASME VIII-1 Appendix 46 Using Division 2 Rules With Division 1 Allowable Stresses COMPRESS implements ASME Appendix 46 calculations as a standard feature. In ASME Code Editions before 2019 these provisions were covered by Code Case 2695 (CC 2695). Selecting this option directs COMPRESS to use ASME VIII-2, Part 4 (Division 2) [...]
With the no-charge Codeware Interface add-in for SOLIDWORKS you can quickly create a bill of materials (BOM) from a COMPRESS model. Trouble Viewing YouTube Videos? View In Alternate Format Download Video (.mov)
The Codeware Interface® add-in for SOLIDWORKS® imports your COMPRESS pressure vessel model and manages the associated data through custom properties. Eliminate manual entry of vessel data and automate repetitive tasks such as fixing the model and performing interference checks. Simplify the preparation of new construction or as-built vessel drawings and bills of [...]

We are pleased to introduce the Codeware Interface®, an add-in for Autodesk® Inventor® or SOLIDWORKS®. The Codeware Interface add-in for Inventor imports your COMPRESS pressure vessel model and manages the associated data through iProperties. There is no additional charge for the Codeware Interface add-in provided that your company has current COMPRESS support. How [...]
Due to process and pipe routing considerations, nozzles on pressure vessels and heat exchangers are frequently placed in non-radial orientations. These non-radial or hillside nozzle to vessel intersections create obround openings which require additional geometric calculations to meet ASME VIII BPVC rules. Put another way, the nozzle opening diameter d used for UG-37 reinforcement [...]
Simple Pressure Vessel Component Design COMPRESS does not require you to model an entire pressure vessel to design or rate individual components. This capability is useful when investigating a pressure vessel component that must be modified. For complicated components, like Appendix 2 flanges and nozzles, the user can call upon a specific [...]
Check Piping Loads Using WRC 107, WRC 537 Process piping imposes external loads on vessel and exchanger nozzles that must be accounted for (see ASME VIII-1, UG-22). Stresses on pressure vessel nozzles and attachments have historically been checked using the Welding Research Council Bulletin 107. WRC 537 was published in 2010 and was [...]
