Pressure Vessel & Heat Exchanger design Solutions

Design Optimization

Our software is written not just to comply with code minimum requirements, but to provide a complete engineering solution, along with comprehensive error checking every step of the way.

Find & test the optimum design

With CEI’s intuitive software, your design is optimized for cost, materials, and specification with code compliance integrated seamlessly into our design software. Using DesignCalcs or Finglow enables you to:

• Specify your design parameters and code compliance before you start your design process.
• Make sure your design meets code requirements while you’re building it. This saves you time from discovering an error at the end of the process and having to entirely re-build your project.
• Check the compliance of your drawing using multiple materials, codes, or design features.

These key functions (and more) will help keep your company ahead of the competition as you win bids and maximize your team’s profit.

Real-time notification of passing or failing for each vessel component as you design it.

DesignCalcs alerts users with real-time messages for “Failed, Passed with Comment, or Passed”. As an added safety precaution, if you try “Save & Close” in a Failed or Passed with Comment stage, you’ll be reminded of the status. Visual references for code compliance is available in the 3D graphics window, so you can know at a glance which components are in or out of code compliance.

Code compliance

Using CEI’s reliable software solution, you won’t waste time designing a component out of compliance again. As you develop your project, the software immediately alerts you if your design doesn’t meet the code. Additionally, your saved project can be accessed from any computer with a current version of the software, allowing ease of accessibility.

We provide PTB-4 examples to compare to the code book for your assurance of our calculations. Our product suite also includes example vessel designs that allow a direct comparison to the ASME code book for reference, insuring proof to auditors that our software is up to code.

It’s time you started designing in confidence.

Audit ready

Using CEI’s reliable software suite, you won’t waste time designing components only to find they are out of code compliance. Calculations are done instantly, even when you change a material, size, or component.

Gain confidence in your design and documentation from the start.

• Save time by automating document creation.
• Archive and document your steps for consistency and reliability for the next design.
• Quickly produce code compliance documents needed for internal and external compliance checks and audits.
