Aspect Pressure Vessel (formerly PV Elite)
Pressure Vessel & Heat Exchanger Design and Analysis Solution
Aspect Pressure Vessel (formerly PV Elite) is software developed by Octave for the calculation and design of pressure vessels and heat exchange equipment. It provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators, and inspectors with a comprehensive solution — ranging from determining vessel wall thickness according to standards and performing stress analysis on vertical towers, horizontal vessels, and heat exchangers, to assessing the operational fitness of in-service equipment. Featuring an intuitive interface, wizard-driven workflows, and automated report generation, Aspect Pressure Vessel reduces calculation time, improves accuracy, and minimizes design errors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aspect Pressure Vessel
Quick answers to common questions about the Aspect Pressure Vessel pressure vessel design software.
Yes. Aspect Pressure Vessel is the rebranded version of PV Elite, developed and distributed by Octave. The product retains all its technical capabilities and continues to be upgraded.
The software performs calculations per ASME Section VIII Div. 1 & 2, PD 5500, EN 13445, EN-1591, and API 579 (Fitness-for-Service). This includes: vessel wall thickness calculation, MAWP determination, stress analysis for vertical towers, horizontal vessels, and heat exchangers, finite element analysis (FEA), and fitness-for-service evaluation of operating equipment.
It suits all scales. Whether designing a single pressure vessel or hundreds of items in a large EPC project, Aspect Pressure Vessel delivers accurate calculations. The user-friendly interface ensures even engineers at small fabrication companies can work efficiently.
Yes. Users can easily switch between different versions of the same design code (e.g., between different ASME VIII editions) within a single project.
The software integrates seamlessly with Aspect Pipe Stress (piping stress analysis) and Forte 3DWorx (3D structural design) within the Octave ecosystem, enabling automatic data sharing and a complete design workflow.
Yes. Octave provides a free evaluation version. Contact TrueTech — the authorized distributor in Vietnam — for trial support and implementation consultation.
