GENERAL FEATURES
Point Cloud with CAESAR Model and Cloud Editing and Measurement Tools
MIMOut Output Processor Lets the user simultaneously review point clouds, finite
element models, CAESAR or PCL piping stress results, NozzlePRO, or FEPipe results.
For more information on this, please refer to MimOutUsersManual.pdf in the new program documentation.
Lug is Auto-Meshed
Structural Beam Attached to Lug Via Nodal Space Coupling (Different parts of the
model are meshed separately and then the Nodes “Space Coupled” as if they are at
the same geometric location.)
Once Drawing Entities are created, the Model can be interactively run from the Drawing Tool Panel.
For more information on this, please refer to V1DrawingTools.pdf in the new program documentation.
BOS B31 Output BOS B31 Input – CAESAR II or PCL File Input
Log of Life Chart Gives Number of Cycles before Failure Waterhammer Wave Logic
For more information on this, please refer to BOSB31.pdf in the new program documentation.
Model Generation
New Drawing Tools allow for graphical “CAD-like” modification of shell model details and addition of model
components. Add or delete elements. Extract curves and generate elements in between two curves. Add restraints
graphically and change thickness.
Automated Skirt Added to Nozzles-Plates-Shells-Vessel Heads Template
Weld sizing using structural stress load calculation
Translation with Rotate Database Command – PCL-Gold
Compact Spar Command – used in non-integral pad modeling
DEFORM_ALL_MODEL command - progress of nonlinear deflection to scale
Region proximity command - applies regions to nodes in a certain geometric area. This is an advanced feature for
modifying the model after initially being created by the template; can modify thicknesses, material properties, loads,
temperatures.
Surface-to-Surface Spar – put double acting spars between two surfaces
Plasticity Solution
Reinhart Elastic-Plastic Ratcheting Evaluation
Twice Yield Fatigue Evaluation
Automatic Nonlinear Calculation of ASME VIII-2 Para 5.3.3.1 ep/eL ratio
Automatic Collapse & Twice Elastic Analysis
All shell templates can be analyzed using the VIII-2 Part 5 Nonlinear Solver.
Miscellaneous
Updated CAESAR II Interface supporting CAESAR II v10
Pipe Shoe Library provided by Piping Technology & Products

Additionally, PRG has developed specialized programs which address specific engineering analysis needs. This set
of Added Modules is included with FEPipev10.0. The Service Plan Modules are only included with FEPipe if the
client has an active support contract.
