The PASS/START-PROF is a pipe stress analysis software that has a long history since 1965, see update history. It is industry standard in several countries for power, process, oil and
Start-Prof is a part of PASS software suite for piping stress analysis, hydraulics analysis, boiler & pressure vessel, heat exchanger, column, tank design & stress analysis is available worldwide since

START-PROF can easily import CAESAR II neutral format files (.cii) To import the model first export it into neutral format in CAESAR II: After that open .cii file with START-PROF software: Here
In this article, we will compare START-PROF and Caesar II functions. In START-PROF all pipes, fittings, and nodes are objects. Each object has it’s properties. For example, you can place
Continued from Part 1 What if Underground Piping Continuation is Unknown? It is necessary to specify the correct boundary conditions while modeling main pipeline stations: valve station, pig launcher, pump and compressor
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by relief valve discharge by static method. The relief valve discharge thrust load acts on elbow 28. In Start-Prof it should
Modeling Fired Heater Piping Connection is a bit tricky as the pipe is not welded to a fired heater shell similar to ordinary equipment. The heater has a hole, the
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by slug flow loads using static method. Additional dynamic loads caused by the slugs hitting the bends and tees must be
What if Above Ground Piping Continuation is Unknown? The correct model and boundary conditions are very important for accurate piping stress analysis. Unfortunately, some inexperienced piping stress analysis software users made mistakes
