Benefits of babsy
babsy and its program library and database system enables you to calculate pressure vessels
and pipes in accordance with actual national and international standards and regulations in
an efficient and fast way. The module based construction allows you to get a well tailored
compilation which suits your needs. Babsy stores its data in project files, easy to retrieve
and manage. You can run babsy in a network, i.e. we use it under Novell 4.1.
Nearly for all pressure parts babsy offers options like optimize mode with a calculation
of the required thickness or given thickness with leads to a stress utilization.
Hardware requirements
Babsy runs on all PC's on DOS (up from version 3.3) in a range from XT's to latest state of the art types.
Since windows systems were released, you know: the faster, the better.
Software : a) DOS-Version
All modules are constructed in overlay mode, which lead to fast loading speed, optimum memory utilization, therefore high performance and
less resources and are easy to maintain. . Printer drivers for the main pin-, ink- and laserprinters
are included.
Software : b) Windows-Version(s)
Contrarary to the DOS programs babsy is a compact compiled unit. This because in windows based
systems memory and capacity is now no more a vital question to programmer's virtousity (sorry
about it). inspite of this, we managed the complete AD-B-series to keep below 1 Mbyte.
In windows, babsy comes up with a detailed scalable (!) vectorized graphic aid, based on
Autocad's .DXF-Files. Input data and results may be copied per cut and paste via the clipboard
into other applications such as Microsoft's Word or Excel.
Jobfiles save your input data in a compact, reliable format.
You may repeat your work with modified conditions, such as pressure and/or temperature
in batches and do calculations for a complete vessel subject to different conditions. A
typical application is a piping class.
