COMPRESS

The pressure vessel design software of choice

COMPRESS is a true 32-bit Windows 2000/XP application and the world's most internationally recognized program for ASME pressure vessel design and analysis.

COMPRESS considers ASME section VIII Division 1 and Division 2, and is current with the A03 Addenda of the 2001 Edition. It is used by fabrication shops, process plants, engineering companies, end users and consultants.

COMPRESS considers internal and external pressure; wind, seismic and other external loads; nozzle design and various support types. Properties for all of the ASME materials and AISC structures are in the program. Many help screens and user-error traps are included. A vessel design wizard takes user friendliness to the next level. By supplying minimal vessel details, users can build standard vessels more quickly than ever. Also, the vessel details can be saved to build libraries of template vessels and any current vessel file can be converted into a wizard template file. Yet with all its power and flexibility, COMPRESS is very easy to learn and use.

The report is written in HTML format --the language of the Internet. Hotlinking allows you to "surf the report" to quickly find calculations supporting a given result or to find the limiting condition for a thickness. Users can specify an expanded report to see all the details or a shortened report showing just the bottom lines. You can save the report in a self-expanding exe file transmittable by email. The recipient does not have to have COMPRESS to read the report. You can use Adobe Acrobat to generate the report in pdf format, not only electronically transmittable but also capable of being edited by you and notated by your customer .
