FEPipe is a template-driven Finite Element soft­ware package, specifically designed for the needs of engineers in the piping and pressure vessel industries. FEPipe is part of the PRG (Paulin Research Group) software suite   FEPipe makes modeling typical pres­sure vessel and piping geometries faster and ea­sier than is possible with general FEA tools due to the parametric design philosophy. FEPipe automatically creates the model geome­try, element mesh, applied loads, and boundary conditions based on standard dimensions. Additionally re­sults are presented in terms of ASME VIII-2 require­ments instead of generalized stress results.   During the course the focus will be on using FEPipe for analysing typical piping geometries such as heads, nozzles, supports, saddles and skirts. There will also be extensive seminars on Part 5 of the ASME VIII-2 so that participants become proficient in conducting a “Design by Analysis” assessment.   The course is given by one of the experienced consultants from DRG who regularly use FEPipe first hand in their consultancy projects.   The fundamentals of the sister software NozzlePRO also form part of the course.
