- Advanced Analysis – modules for nozzle stress analysis, burst pressure calculations, pipe elbow flexibility, and stress analysis
- Advanced Fracture Analysis – conduct brittle fracture screening, evaluate crack-like flaws, monitor crack growth, and analyze ductile tearing
- Material Properties – use the industry’s most comprehensive material database which contains 250 combined years across 12 codes and standards.
- eecHotTap – analyze hot taps and welding simulation
- Heat Transfer & Fluid Transport – Fluid property modeler, stored energy of pressurized system, steady state heat transfer, and steam tracing
Data Visualization
Have you ever built a flange inside-out or accidentally flipped values when entering vessel data for analysis? SagePlus software allows you to easily visualize models during data entry with real-time graphics displayed for every module. Using the graphics, you can quickly and easily navigate or study any section of the analysis model.
Visualization Capabilities
Easily toggle between the full object and cut section views to study detailed connections.
- 2D & 3D orthographic
- 3D perspective
- Cut-section
Multi-Component Vessels
Graphic view includes a clickable parts list to easily isolate a specific section of the vessel.
Geometry
View geometry at different states, including nominal thickness and corroded future thickness views.
- Export to third-party applications (Abacus, MAT, or Design CAD)
Materials Database
Accurately calculate maximum allowable stress for the construction of pressure vessels, piping, and tanks using the industry’s most comprehensive list of materials and properties. Improve external logistic workflows and easily integrate with other third-party software products with access to 250 combined years across 12 codes and standards.

Analysis of Piping Surge Events
Authors: Bob Davis, P.E., Consulting Engineer II; Curtis Koether, P.E., Senior Engineer II
Surge events in piping systems can lead to severe displacements, loud noises, and operational challenges. Using a case study, this article highlights the factors behind surge events, including rapid changes in liquid velocity and pressure, and how forces generated during these transient events can impact piping systems. The authors discuss how a few targeted support modifications effectively resolved these issues without resorting to costly system overhauls or potentially problematic specialty equipment.
SIMFLEX-IV: A Modern Pipe Stress Engineering Solution
Authors: Donald L. Brown, Ph.D., Consulting Researcher I; Edrissa Gassama, Ph.D., Senior Researcher II; Daniel Spring, Ph.D., Group Head Consulting Researcher I
SIMFLEX-IV, the latest update to E2G’s cloud-based piping stress analysis software, will help you prevent potential failures by improving the structural integrity of piping systems and supporting structures. In a single run, you will be able to assess sustained, occasional, and displacement stresses at every data point throughout the piping system. This article introduces you to fast and easy ways to integrate advanced static and dynamic piping stress analysis into your daily workflow.
