26- Elemental Smoothing

a. Elemental smoothing produces more uniform element grids and perfect geometric shapes not dependant on
cubic approximations.
27- Cylinder Boundary Condition Control
a. Users may free either the top or bottom of the cylinder and observe the effect on the stress distribution in
the geometry.
28- Added Control of Weld Sizes
a. The user may specify the weld length along either the branch or header (parent) and may also specify the
weld size at the edge of any reinforcing pad.
29- Access to FE/Pipe Input Data Screens
a. The user may access the FE/Pipe input data screens to provide any additional model, mesh or loading
control that is needed.
30- Control of Element Stress Averaging
a. The user may deactivate stress averaging if desired.
31- Saddle Wizard
a. A step-by-step interactive modeler that allows the user to easily design horizontal vessel for any loading
conditions. The Saddle Wizard now allows for full horizontal vessel models with one saddle fixed and
the other saddle sliding. Earthquake or ship motion acceleration loads, pressure, temperature, and more
can be applied to the model.
32- New File Handling
33- Dynamic Units Switching
a. When switching between English and SI units, the input values are now converted from one system to the
next units system.
34- Load Translation Calculator
a. Nozzle/PRO users no longer need to have their loads given at the end of the nozzle. Loads can now be
specified at the centerline of the header, header/branch intersection, or the end of the branch.
35- Pull Down Menus and User Navigation
