AD2000
CEA technology selected a tool for people involved with the design of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks and plants. As well as the capability to perform mechanical design calculations for vessels or components according to the International AD-Merkblatter Code, it is also a tool capable of generating 2D and 3D drawings, calculating geometric properties such as volumes and centers of gravity, unrolling components to produce development drawings and plate layout data, and interfacing with other CAE tools to allow the direct transfer of design data, thus speeding up the complete design process....
Calculations can be done according to the following rules:
