While originally optimized for the 2017 versions of both PV Elite and Inventor Professional, it is generally available to all users current on Hexagon maintenance. However, users of Inventor 2025 have reported compatibility issues, with some official recommendations suggesting the use of Inventor 2023 for full plugin support. How to Access

You can initiate a pressure vessel design in Inventor, send it to PV Elite for code checking, make changes in either software, and synchronize the updates automatically.

While the primary flow is CAD-to-analysis, newer versions of the plugin allow simple adjustments in PV Elite (like thickness changes for code compliance) to be flagged back to the Inventor model, helping maintain revision control.

Always compare your 3D model against the mechanical calculations. It’s common to find discrepancies in nozzle locations or saddle heights that need manual adjustment in the 3D space. Permissions: If the plugin fails to load, try running Administrator to bypass potential security blocks.

: Open Inventor and use the "PV Elite Data Import" ribbon to load the file.
