    The document provides guidelines for design of static equipment using PVElite software. It specifies various design parameters, constraints, load cases and additional calculations/checks to be performed.

    Guidelines are provided for project setup, input of wind, seismic and load cases data, selection of design options, nozzle design pressure etc.

    Design constraints specified include vacuum level, datum line, hydrotest types, projections, minimum design metal temperature, miscellaneous weights, vibration checks etc.
