Who is this course for?

Our training is designed for engineers and design teams looking to optimize the strength analysis process for process equipment. Whether you’re just getting started with PV Elite® or want to deepen your knowledge of advanced analyses, this workshop will provide you with the practical skills you need for your day-to-day design work.

Who are the participants?

  • Designers of pressure vessels and heat exchangers looking for tools to quickly verify that their designs comply with relevant standards.

  • Mechanical engineers who want to enhance their skills in stress analysis and material optimization.

  • Project managers who need to understand the software’s capabilities to manage technical documentation more effectively..

  • Inspectors from notified bodies (e.g. TÜV, Bureau Veritas) responsible for approving design documentation, who want to better understand the calculation reports generated by PV Elite.

Training programs

We don’t impose a rigid schedule. We believe that the most effective learning comes from real-world examples that your team faces every day. That’s why we tailor the scope of each training session to your specific needs, the nature of your industry, and the participants’ skill levels.

Why should you take the CIM-mes training course?

  • Learn from industry professionals
    The training sessions are led by practicing engineers with years of experience in FEM analysis and the design of pressure vessels—you’ll learn from real-world case studies, not theoretical examples

  • Learn by working on your own projects
    We offer a unique opportunity to conduct workshops using your own models and documentation, allowing you to address your team’s current design challenges right during the training

  • Knowledge from a reliable source
    As Hexagon’s official partner in Poland, we have direct access to the manufacturer’s technical support and the latest insights into PV Elite’s features, which we share with you firsthand

  • Post-training support
    We don’t leave you on your own after the course ends—we provide technical consultations to help you apply what you’ve learned in your daily work

  • Certificate of Proficiency
    Each participant receives a personalized certificate of completion, issued by an authorized software distributor, which serves as a valuable asset in their professional development
