Allowable Stress (Sall) equation used for calculating Operating Stresses for NDE is modified. Refer Annexure-A of ReadMeSupplement_v680.pdf for details.

New module added to calculate flange stresses as per ASME Section VIII Div.1. This module can be launched through Main Frame > New > Flange Model. Refer Annexure-B of ReadMeSupplement_v680.pdf for details.

Length of the Material Name, Section Name, Load Name, Beam Material Name, Beam Section Name and Beam Load Name is increased to 5 from 3.

200+ new materials are added to CAEPIPE material library for B31.1 (2010) and B31.3 (2010) codes.

Valve library is enhanced to include its weight for different categories of valves.

Improved convergence routine for eigen value extraction.

New feature added to check for negative bend angle values while importing CAESAR II neutral file and correct the same in CAEPIPE.

Bug correction: Access violation while merging the model.
