Hi HVN, First off, I always wanted to know your name - in some of our internal discussions, we have to refer to you as HVN :). We already have the following enhancement in our system: 137935: Include EN1591-1 calculations methodology for flanges / flange leakage With our initial investigation, we were able to look through "BS EN 13445-3:2014+A2:2016" Annex G - Alternative design rules for flanges and gasketed flange connections". This annex is based on "EN1591-1:2001 - Flanges and their joints - Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections". When we start implementation, we would probably be using Annex G for all calculations and implementations. Please let us know if you have any comments or concerns on using Annex G. AutoPIPE Vessel already has flange design based on Annex G if you wanted to give it a try to check the inputs and outputs. There is a flange model in the examples folder provided with APV: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\AutoPIPE Vessel_X.X.X.X\Examples\Vessel Example Models\Component\bride SNCT.emvd" Looking forward for more comments and suggestions. Regards, Bilal Shah
