PROBAD features

The main factors some highlights of the PROBAD calculation modules:

  • PROBAD is of modular design; this enables licensing individual modules in relation to the company needs (see available PROBAD solutions).
  • PROBAD allows not only re-checking defined component dimensions, but also designing or optimizing components.
  • The comprehensive component databases of PROBAD include additional norms and standards regarding dimensions, wall thicknessĀ“, tolerances etc.
  • Material databases containing EN, DIN and ASME materials are supporting the calculation modules.
    The values can be edited or modified individually by the user.
  • Standard-safety factors of the calculation rules are stored and can be modified in accordance with the projects requirements.
  • PROBAD Modeler
  • For all PROBAD modules screen inputs and print outputs are currently available in German and English. The dialog system provides convenient help screens, either as text or graphic.
  • PROBAD is continuously subject to technical changes and novelties as also for monitoring systems etc.
  • Based on the various maintenance agreements, SIGMA GmbH is obliged to keep the solutions up to date by annual releases, so the PROBAD modules are always following the actual codes/standards.
  • For PROBAD licensees with maintenance contract a hotline is available.
  • Pipe classes can be exported from the pipe series modules to ROHR2
  • Import of complex structures from ROHR2 with transfer of the essential parameters
    such as dimensional standards and materials.
