AxisVM
The primary applications of AxisVM are in the design of buildings, and industrial and geotechnical structures. Due to its powerful finite element solver and practical modeling tools, it has also been used in bridge design, and in the design of composite structures, machines, and vehicles. Besides the basic configurations, optional design modules are available for structures made of reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and masonry members and connections. In addition, thanks to the special elements and analysis capabilities, users have successfully applied AxisVM to the design of innovative and custom structures. Reports can be created based on tables, drawings, and detailed design calculations with additional headings and text lines. Reports are auto-updating, i.e. generated based on the most current model data and results.

FloCAD
FloCAD® is a fluid dynamics software add-on module for Thermal Desktop®, together they provide a complete thermohydraulic software tool for fully integrated fluid flow and heat transfer analysis. With FloCAD, the mechanics of building fluid flow models is very similar to that of building thermal models, with many of the commands applicable to both types of models. FloCAD models can be free-form (non-geometric), sketchpad style flow network modeling for abstraction and simplification, or they can be geometry-based by including objects such as pipe centerlines and cross-sections, complexly shaped vessels, or convection to finite difference of finite element representations of thermal structures. As a generalized pipe flow software tool, FloCAD captures the pressure drops in a piping network due to bends, valves, tees, changes in flow area, etc.

Codeware
Codeware is a suite of engineering software dedicated to the design, analysis, inspection, fabrication, and documentation of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and related equipment under recognized industry standards such as ASME, API, TEMA, and other codes. At its core is COMPRESS, which performs full ASME VIII-compliant pressure-vessel and heat-exchanger design; it handles complex calculations including minimum design metal temperature, nozzle intersections, static head, fatigue screening, and more; produces finite element analysis when needed; generates solid models; and automatically creates detailed drawings, design reports, and cost estimates. For maintenance, inspection, or re-rating of existing equipment, INSPECT adds Fitness-For-Service (FFS) capabilities (API 579 and related standards), assessing flaws such as corrosion, damage, or crack-like defects, computing remaining life, generating re-rating or repair recommendations.
