NextGen: The Future of Pressure Vessel and Heat Exchanger Design
NextGen is the latest-generation software for the mechanical design and verification of pressure vessels and heat exchangers, fully compliant with international standards such as ASME VIII Division 1 & Division 2, EN 13445-3, EN 13480, and AD 2000. It also supports calculations under wind and seismic conditions according to NTC, Eurocodes, UBC 97, ASCE 7, etc. The software includes dedicated modules for:
– Nozzle load calculations according to WRC 107/297/537
– Tubesheet design in accordance with TEMA Appendix A
– Structural analysis of vertical columns
– Calculation of rectangular vessels and all types of supports (saddles, skirts, legs, brackets, etc.)
– Calculation of vessel lifting
NextGen comes with a comprehensive database of commonly used standard components (ASME/ANSI B16, B31, EN 1092-1, EN 1759-1, and more), as well as a complete material database with all permitted SA/SB materials. Its advanced features make NextGen an incredibly powerful tool:
– Instant recalculation based on the selected standard
– High-performance 3D graphics with transparency options
– Streamlined user interface for maximum simplicity and intuitiveness
Exclusive Features: a dedicated wizard allows you to create all TEMA heat exchanger components from a single set of input data, dramatically speeding up the design process.
Seamless Integration with Classic Edition: All major calculation packages from the Classic Edition have been integrated into the NextGen platform. Starting from an already-assembled vessel or exchanger, you can instantly switch the design code used for calculations. This feature is already active for ASME VIII Div. 1, Div. 2, and EN 13445-3, allowing you to immediately assess the impact of switching standards. You can even run calculations based on previous editions of the same code.
Double Savings with NextGen
Take advantage of two powerful cost-saving benefits:
1) Reduced material and labor costs, thanks to built-in optimization algorithms.
2) Significant time savings for designers due to the software’s efficient workflows and user-friendly design.
And of course, you can count on Sant’Ambrogio’s renowned technical support — always available when you need it.
