The engineer performs the code compliance checks (ASME, EN 13445, etc.) in PV Elite. If the design fails or requires modification:
What works well
: Facilitates the creation of General Arrangement (GA) and projection drawings. Users can easily generate side, top, and isometric views.
The is a dedicated interoperability plugin developed by Hexagon (part of the CADWorx & Analysis Solutions suite). It bridges the gap between 3D mechanical design and pressure vessel engineering analysis. The plugin enables engineers to export geometric data from an Autodesk Inventor 3D model directly into PV Elite, automating the creation of analysis models and significantly reducing manual data entry errors in the design of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and tall towers.
The PV Elite Inventor Plugin is a specialized add-in designed for . It enables the direct import of PV Elite design files—typically in .pvtp or .pvdb formats—into the Inventor environment. Rather than manually recreating a pressure vessel or heat exchanger based on calculation reports, this plugin automatically generates a high-fidelity 3D solid model within Inventor, preserving the intelligence and dimensions defined during the analysis phase. Key Features and Capabilities
You start by building your pressure vessel in Inventor’s parametric environment. Crucially, you must use specific naming conventions or iProperties that the plugin recognizes.
