Compatibility:

Historically, the plugin was optimized for Autodesk Inventor Professional 2017 and files from PV Elite 2017 SP1 or later. However, technical reports indicate that Inventor 2023 is also a supported version for newer iterations, whereas Inventor 2025 has faced some initial compatibility challenges.

• Shell courses become analysis cylinders.
• Heads (Elliptical, Hemispherical, Torispherical) become boundary conditions.
• Nozzles and flanges become connection points for stress analysis.
• Supports (Saddle, Lugs, Skirt) become load cases.
