Pressure vessels
Shells, heads, nozzles, supports, reports.

Screenshots and a short video come with the listing (AL.3).
Overview
Planned. This add-on is not built and no host app mounts it. Pressure vessels is planned (roadmap rows CH.9 and IND.5) as shells, heads, nozzles and supports with a clause-traced calculation report, the vessel drawn in PartCraft and as BimCraft equipment. A calculation library exists in the lab; no app uses it yet. The engineer of record signs; the add-on does not stamp anything.
Who it’s for
- Mechanical engineers who size vessels.
- Plant designers who want the vessel in the model and the drawing.
- Reviewers who read calculation reports.
What you can do
- Nothing works yet. Planned: shell and head thickness, maximum allowable working pressure, hydrotest pressure, nozzle reinforcement, saddle and skirt checks, wind and seismic base loads, a data sheet and a report (CH.9, IND.5).
Methods and standards
Planned after ASME Section VIII Division 1 by clause. The library covers UG-27 shells, UG-32 heads and cones, UG-37 nozzle area replacement, Zick saddle moments, and a simple external pressure check that warns outside its range.
Data and sources
Allowable stress, joint efficiency and corrosion allowance are your inputs; no material table is bundled.
Verification
Planned: no add-on test yet. The engine library behind it has a test, tools/process-test/test-equip.mjs, which the session log chem-equip_PART_3 records as 119 passed, 0 failed on 2026-10-28. It checks closed forms and a few printed relations, not a worked ASME example. The log says the typed tables and constants still need an engineer's check against the standards.
Limits
Not built: MDMT, external pressure by the charts and stiffening rings, flat heads, limits of reinforcement, nozzle load stresses, wind and seismic by code tables, and the PartCraft body and BimCraft equipment. A study aid to be checked by an engineer; a stamped sheet is never produced.
Files and formats
Planned: a data sheet and a clause-traced report, and the vessel as a part and as model equipment. Nothing is written today.
Get started
- Nothing to open yet. The add-on is planned and cannot be added.
