PSRE Co. Expands Market Presence in North America

Affordable, smart stress and fluid flow simulation PASS software is now available through 10 international distributors

Fluids & C° is happy to participate to the market extension of the PASS Software Suite, one of the easiest-to-use tools for piping &equipment simulation enabling effective use by every engineer rather than just experts.

-- Vincent Soumoy, President of Fluids & C°.

PSRE’s PASS Software Suite team is proud to add Fluid & C° as a reseller in North America. The experience and knowledge of its team in the field of Computer Aided Engineering make Fluid & C° a very valued partner for us!

About Fluids & C°

Start-Prof version 4.83 R4 release. Changes:

• Codes updated: ASME B31.8-2018, ASME B31.3-2018
• Added ASME B36.10M-2015 and B36.19M-2004 standards into pipe database
• Added Thermal Bowing effect modelling
• Removed the limitation of static seismic analysis only for above ground piping. Now mixed above ground and buried piping can also be analyzed for seismic effects
• Fixed problems with UNDO function
• Added setting "zero projections for the new pipe"
• Improved tee model. Now when you specify wall thickness of the branch pipe greater than connected pipe, it is modeled with a thicker pipe. The branch pipe stiffness become greater
• Fixed other minor bugs
