Codeware Compress is a very powerful ASME design tool. It is very intuitive and easy to learn. Anyone engaged in ASME related design projects will greatly benefit from investing in this software. It has tools for all types of ASME code products (pressure vessels, heat exchangers & boilers). Codeware is always improving the software. New features are included in almost all new releases. Their customer support is also great. They are quick to respond to questions. The web portal has great support tools. The ability to export the ASME design into 3D CAD formats is a huge time saver. The software can also be very handy for other types of non-ASME tank design work as well. For instance, you can use it to explore leg support structures for elevated tank designs.Incentivized
It is a great cad software if you are wanting to try something without the commitment of a payment plan. It has the ability to do most of what other cad systems do and has some functionality that is way superior to other cad systems. It could be better with things like assemblies and larger part count developmentsIncentivized
Codeware Compress has a great user interface and is a very robust ASME design tool.Compress has a very well built 3D CAD export interface module that works well with SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor.Codeware has a great user support network.Incentivized

Add more CAD functionality to create custom support structures and support brackets (clips, ect..)Partner with a major CAD platform (such as Autodesk, SolidWorks) for an "In CAD" solution. Which would allow quick customization of the ASME design model without leaving the native CAD environment.Incentivized
Would be great if it was cloud basedIf it had some basic analysis toolsHad a rendering functionIncentivized
I have only tried a brief tutorial on PV Elite so I can't provide a worthwhile comparison on features.Incentivized
Freecad is used often when receiving files from multiple sources and the need to work with cad in various forms from meshes to solid cad. Often when receiving scans of 3d objects the format is easy to work with and convert to traditional cad later on. There is no other cad that can bridge the gap between all the cad formats that we found yet.Incentivized
Codeware Compress is a huge part of our ability to design and release pressure vessels quickly. It has greatly reduced our engineering design cycle. We have built standards that allow us to release designs to fabrication in hours instead of days.The ability to export the 3D CAD files makes quick work of developing quotes and proposals.Codeware Compress greatly reduces the chances of errors related to meeting ASME code compliance. The software developers keep the software in sync with the current editions of the ASME code. That allows users to focus more time on the design aspects of the project and less time worrying about the actual nuts and bolts of the extensive ASME code rules.Incentivized
It has allowed us to do some cad work that no other systems has allowed us to do and is key to getting that done fastIt has lots of online support through forums and blogs for trouble shootingIt could have an updated interface to make the functionality more user friendly for first time usersIncentivized
