Bentley PULS XM Edition v08.09.00.28

Bentley PULS XM Edition is a stand-alone, Microsoft Windows engineering application used for the calculation of pressure pulsation, acoustic shaking forces and acoustic frequencies in piping systems. It can also be used for reciprocating compressor vessel sizing as per API 618 guidelines. PULS is an object-based graphical interface that provides fast model creation through the use of cut, copy and paste features that reduce repetitive input by the user. Pulsations and shaking forces can be instantly viewed by simply clicking directly on the model, eliminating the need to review voluminous batch output reports, typical of older methodology. 

What is New & Changed

The following outline identifies new features and enhancements in the PULS V8i v.08.09.00.28

Fixed:

• 7083: Branch length < pipe radius causes negative pipe length and pressure drop
• 7095: Program crashes if number of RC conditions > 20
• 7112: Program crashes if more than one HE and one CE per cylinder
• 7114: Program crashes if cylinder numbers are entered in a certain order for NCYL > 3

Enhancements:

• 7115: Make rated rpm default for rpm plots
• 7119: Increase tolerance for shaking force unbalanced area to reduce warnings
• 7121: Increase number of decimals in shaking force violation table in OUT file
