With START-PROF you can perform pipe flexibility analysis, verify stresses, displacements, determine support, stability, as well as fatigue analysis for pipes in the plant and buried pipes, ducts, of any size or complexity and in accordance with applicable codes. Since 1965 START-PROF, combines a high-efficiency solution, powerful features for analysis, a friendly user interface with 3D graphical data input for pre / post processing as well as a detailed help system with intelligence included provided by generations of expert designers in pipe.
With EQUIPMENT you will be able to perform stress and stability analysis for pressure vessels such as horizontal, vertical equipment, columns, storage tanks, and for heat exchangers under static and seismic loads that will allow you to evaluate the stresses in operation, testing and assembly. The applications allow you to design, revamp, and test the vessel meeting the calculation criteria for the power, refinery, chemical, petrochemical, natural gas, oil, gas, and related industries.
With HYDROSYSTEM you will be able to provide diameter selection, heat and hydraulic analysis of steady state flow for real multiphase liquids, gases and mixtures (including gas / liquid, oil / water and gas / oil / water flow, considering flare and condensation) , in piping systems of any complexity, including networks with loops. It also covers the most dangerous type of transition flow related to liquid surge (water hammer) and flow assurance calculations, including heavy shocks and prediction of gas hydrate formation.
With INDUSTRY you will be able to provide a comprehensive analysis of pipes and equipment with related sizing calculations for specific industrial sectors in accordance with national and international codes and standards. This family of PASS products combines the broad capabilities of the other PASS product families in an organized way to meet the specific needs and applications of process plants, piping systems and district heating. It also enables “regular” designers and engineers, without special knowledge in pipe stress analysis, pipe flow and thermal analysis, equipment analysis or detailed knowledge of standards.
