============================================ Our new 2004 Engineering Software Catalog is now completed and we will be shipping this out to users around the second week of March, 2004. There are several new software programs described in the Catalog, as well as details of all latest software updates. We will also be sending with the catalog, a 2004 Chempute Demo CD (containing updated demos of our full range of engineering software), as well as the latest pricelist. If for some reason you do not receive your new Catalog/Demo CD by the end of March, please drop us an e-mail with your latest address details. NEW SOFTWARE RELEASES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CAESAR 4.50 - Pipe Stress Analysis New Build 040220 (20th Feb) provides significant improvements to the 3D Hoops Graphics in terms of speed, and printing issues. The build (20Mb) may be downloaded from http://www.coade.com/fcaesar.htm COMPRESS - Pressure Vessel Software Build 6228 (18th Feb) has some new additions, one of which is a context sensitive help feature. From any dialog, the 'F1' key will now open the COMPRESS manual at the section relevant to the current cursor location. There is also new error reporting detailing the state of COMPRESS when a program crash occurs. This feature creates a crash report and allows the user to email it to Codeware for problem resolution. Download from: http://www.codeware.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?PROG=COMPRESS&VERSI ON=6228 TANK - Storage Tank Design (API 650/653) Version 2.50 is currently in beta phase, and will be released shortly. Some of the new features: Incorporates the computations for Cycle Life from API-650 Appendix M. Includes an alternate method to determine nozzle stiffnesses, from PVP-1279. Incorporates API-650 10th Edition, Addendum 3, including new bolting requirements, and API-653 3rd Edition, Addendum 1. Includes a revised output processor, for easier usage. Incorporates the ability to check for web site updates. A new User's Manual (available on-line only), accessible from [Help]. For general program description: http://www.chempute.com/tank.htm ACCIDENTAL CHEMICAL RELEASES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With regard to several recent press reports on the accidental release of hazardous or toxic chemical or gas clouds into the atmosphere, it should be noted that software is available to analyse and prevent these situations. BREEZE HAZ software includes several air dispersion models, as well as fire/explosion models. This provides for real time emergency response, HAZOP planning, Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA's), and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA's)etc, in line with regulatory requirements. For a description of BREEZE products, as well as for downloadable trial software, go to: http://www.chempute.com/breeze.htm http://www.chempute.com/iscaermodpro.htm http://www.chempute.com/iscaermodgispro.htm A technical paper covering the Characterization of Accidental Chemical Releases can be downloaded from: http://demos.chempute.com/anonftp/pub/chemicalrelease.pdf FREEWARE ~~~~~~~~~ BIPHASE (provided by David Alvarado, Argentina) This free program is used to calculate pressure drop, holdup and flow regime for two phase flow conditions. Pressure drop correlations include VDI (Horizontal/Vertical pipe), Dukler (no slip / constant slip), Beggs & Brill, and Lockhart Martinelli. Holdup correlations include Lockhart Martinelli, Hughmark, Eaton and Beggs & Brill. Flow Regime is determined by either Baker or Taitel Duckler methods for horizontal pipes, and by the Govier method for vertical pipes. Flow regime maps are produced. Choice of English or SI units.
