It's time once again to update your ASME VIII software.  Installing COMPRESS 2012 will provide your company with immediate access to the new ASME VIII Code rules (2010 Edition, A11 Addenda).

New ASME VIII projects typically require that you use the Addenda in force at the time your contract is signed.  When re-rating existing vessels and exchangers the NBIC allows you to use either the ASME VIII (Div 1 or 2) Code of construction or the latest ASME Addenda.  Whether you're dealing with new construction or re-rating existing equipment your company probably enters into new contracts every year, some of which may take years to complete.

Since most companies work with more than one Code Addenda at the same time, COMPRESS includes a unique Multiple ASME Code Addenda Feature.  This feature enables you to:  

• Work on projects spanning multiple years without needing multiple software versions installed. Design and re-rate equipment to different Addenda (1995 to present) from within the same COMPRESS release.
   
• Easily update older designs to be compliant with the latest ASME Edition/Addenda (ideal when providing re-order/replacement designs).
   
• Use the same COMPRESS version throughout your entire company. Take advantage of recent enhancements, like the Solid Model Export Feature, while still maintaining access to older Codes.
