PV-ELITE

PV-Elite can run on Windows 2000 and XP-Pro platforms. Either in a standalone form or on a network.

PV-Elite is a graphical based, easy-to-use software program that provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators and inspectors with complete design capabilities of tall towers, horizontal vessels, individual vessel and heat exchangers. PV-Elite has a component analysis module, CodeCalc, which is also available as a separate program.

PV-Elite can be used to design, bid or re-rate a wide variety of vessels and vessel components in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII Division 1, Division 2, Canadian NBC and PD5500 (British)rules. The Graphical User Interface, which collects the model description, ensures that the model is correct. Analysis is interactive with intermediate results conveniently displayed on the screen. Context-sensitive help provides instant technical assistance for each data field. Output is presented in an orderly and concise format with reports available for every step of the analysis. 

Like other COADE programs PV-Elite is also developed by engineers for engineers. The engineering staff of COADE have worked in industry, for major engineering and consulting firms. This experience not only guides program development, but provides users with knowledgeable support. This allows PV-Elite to work the way a typical engineer thinks and solves a problem. This also means that the technical support provided to users by the engineering staff is almost instantaneous. Users talk directly to the developers, ensuring an accurate and timely answer.
