Thanks for your prompt reply
Since you plan to revise the ASME fixed tubesheet design, I would like to suggest the following change: Under tab "Tubesheet", there is a check box titled "Is this a Pressure Only case". If a user is not very familiar with the Code requirements, he might overlook the importance of this
. I suggest that Codecalc runs (2) sets of calcs: one "Pressure + Thermal" and the other "Pressure only". Also, in the "Pressure only" case, Codecalc should automatically set the value of gamma (differential thermal expansion) at zero regardless of the data entered by the user.
