You can use Adobe Acrobat to generate the report in pdf format, not only electronically transmittable but also capable of being edited by you and notated by your customer.Ĭlick here for a sample COMPRESS report. The recipient does not have to have COMPRESS to read the report. You can save the report in a self-expanding exe file transmittable by email. Users can specify an expanded report to see all the details or a shortened report showing just the bottom lines. Hotlinking allows you to "surf the report" to quickly find calculations supporting a given result or to find the limiting condition for a thickness. The report is written in HTML format -the language of the Internet. Yet with all its power and flexibility, COMPRESS is very easy to learn and use. Also, the vessel details can be saved to build libraries of template vessels and any current vessel file can be converted into a wizard template file. By supplying minimal vessel details, users can build standard vessels more quickly than ever. A vessel design wizard takes user friendliness to the next level. Many help screens and user-error traps are included. Properties for all of the ASME materials and AISC structures are in the program. COMPRESS considers internal and external pressure wind, seismic and other external loads nozzle design and various support types.

It is used by fabrication shops, process plants, engineering companies, end users and consultants. The demo version includes both Div 1 and Div 2.ĬOMPRESS is a true 32-bit Windows 98/NT/2000/Me/XP application, the world's most internationally recognized program for ASME pressure vessel design and analysis.ĬOMPRESS considers ASME section VIII Division 1 and Division 2. Besides those two limitations, the demo version is fully capable. Take a look at Photo Gallery on The Home for "COMPRESS" is Ĭlick on the link to the left to download a copy of the COMPRESS 6 Demo, which has the following limitations: only 60" and 120" ID shells and 5" and 10" nozzles are allowed.
