SIMFLEX-III SOFTWARE
Assess Piping System Stress & Loads
SIMFLEX-III, a cloud-based software, evaluates and analyzes dynamic and static pipe stress caused by structural, pressure, temperature, or environmental conditions. SIMFLEX-III checks sustained, occasional, and displacement stresses, at each piping inspection point, comply with all ASME B31 code stress requirements.
Experience SIMFLEX-III for yourself.
Visualization
Visualize and explore calculation results using the software’s 2D and 3D visualization capabilities. SIMFLEX-III uses the solid code developed by Peng but is updated and improved for the next generation.
- Check geometry using the 3D view of input piping systems
- Output detailed text results for clear and easy review
- View layout drawing dimensions, including key flange face location, bend tangent intersection, and piping vertical elevations
SIMFLEX-III Key Features
SIMFLEX-III performs several piping stress analyses to help you achieve maximum accuracy and productivity, using the following features:
- Piping input keywords use industry standard terms
- Run one of the available analysis: code compliance, spring design, rotating equipment load compliance, anchor & support load combination, limit stops
- Code compliance to B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8
- View all input data on one screen for faster and more efficient data entry
- Integrated analysis for load categories and operating conditions
- Automatically combine all stresses into different categories to simplify code requirement comparisons
- Output report includes all piping system data
- Friction with unlimited supports and multiple load cases
- Underground piping analysis with soil modeling and friction
- Automated Bijlaard Analysis for pressure vessel nozzles
- Natural frequencies and dynamic analysis including response spectra analysis for earthquake loading, time history analysis for arbitrary time dependent loads, and harmonic analysis
- 3D graphics of input model and display of analysis results
SIMFLEX-III is available on the eec platform as an individual module or can be combined with other cloud tools for expanded analysis capabilities.
