Codeware Compress designs and rates ASME Section VIII Div 1 pressure vessels.  Reports are complete and easy to read.  They show not only the calculated result but typically also the equation used, a code reference, the equations with numbers plugged in, and then the answer.  Compress is widely used by vessel fabricators needing to analyze the vessel for mechanical integrity.  Dynamic wind analysis is performed.  Also period of vibration, critical wind speed, and vortex shedding.  Deflection is calculated and can be limited.  Compress calculates the combined longitudinal stresses due to internal pressure, overhead weight, and wind or seismic.  Multiple pressure chambers each with its own liquid level, can be combined in one vessel.  And much more...
