PVElite is a graphical based, easy-to-use software program that provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators and inspectors with complete design capabilities of tall towers, horizontal vessels, individual vessel and heat exchanger components. PVElite has a component analysis module, CodeCalc, which is also available as a separate program. PVElite can run on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 and 2000 platforms. Either in a standalone form or on a network.

PVElite can be used to design, bid or re-rate a wide variety of vessels and vessel components in accordance with ASME Code Section VIII Division 1, Division 2 and PD5500 (British) rules. The Graphical User Interface, which collects the model description, ensures that the model is correct.

Analysis is interactive with intermediate results conveniently displayed on the screen. Context-sensitive help provides instant technical assistance for each data field. Output is presented in an orderly and concise format with reports available for every step of the analysis.

Like other COADE's programs PVElite is also developed by engineers for engineers. The engineering staff of COADE have worked in industry, for engineering and consulting firms. This experience not only guides program development, but provides users with knowledgeable support. This allows PVElite to work the way a typical engineer thinks and solves a problem. This also means that the technical support provided to users by the engineering staff is almost instantaneous. Users talk straight to the developers, ensuring an accurate and timely answer.
