What is NextGen? NextGen is a mechanical, multi-code calculation software aimed to design pressure vessels and heat exchangers. Design can be carried out according to a growing number of standards, like ASME VIII Division 1 and 2, EN 13445 or AD2000. The software is able to validate structural analysis of…
Another feature that allows designer to save time is the quick reuse of a material, taking advantage of the ones that already been defined in the referral item. Let’s say we have an item with a classic ASME 516-70 main shell. As a second component, we choose not to design…
Nextgen offers chance of using materials presets offre. This feature allows designer that often uses some precise kind of material and product to save time, with no flexibility issue: it’s still possible to change material and assign it to each main component type or component detail (e.g. pad or bolts)….
NextGen offers chance to set liquid level inside an item, whether it is a vessel or a heat exchanger. First of all, you have to select componente within liquid reaches maximum quota. Tipically, there are two different scenarios. completely filled item liquid does not fill the whole item SCENARIO…
