PASS/START-PROF is a pipe stress analysis software developed by PSRE Co. (NTP Truboprovod), based in Moscow, Russia. The software provides comprehensive pipe stress, flexibility, stability, and fatigue strength analysis with related sizing calculations and runs on the Microsoft Windows platform.:[1] [2]
Name
The brand name comes from the Russian "СТатический Расчет Трубопроводов (СТАРТ)" which means Static Analysis of Piping (START).

History
Early years 1965 to 1992 "ST-01" in Hyprocauchuk Company
PASS/START-PROF was created in 1965 by the CAD department in Giprokauchuk company based in Moscow for the mainframe computer Minsk-22, the name of the software was "СТ-1", "СТ-1М" and the authors were V. Magalif, M. Chernysheva, and E. Shapiro.[4][5] In 1969, PASS/START-PROF official deliveries to other organizations began. In 1972, the program was rewritten for the Minsk-32 mainframe computer. In 1972, the program was rewritten for ES-1040 mainframe computer. In 1992, the program was rewritten to MS-DOS and the name changed to "START" ("СТАРТ" in Russian). From 1969-1990, START software became very popular for pipe stress analysis in the Soviet Union.
PSRE co. (NTP Truboprovod) "START" 2000 to 2018
The program development team moved to the newly created company PSRE Co. (NTP Truboprovod) in Moscow and continued development. The company specializes in oil refining, gas, chemical, petrochemical industry design, as well as software development. In 2000, the program was rewritten for the Microsoft Windows operating system, by authors V. Magalif, E. Shapiro, and A. Bushuyev. From 2000 to now, "START" software has become the industry standard in Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and other Russian-speaking countries for pipe stress analysis with 2000+ company users.[6][7][8]
PASS Suite brand PASS/START-PROF: 2018 to present
From 2018, the worldwide brand "PASS Suite" was created, and the software was renamed to "PASS/START-PROF". In 2017-2019, the software user interface was translated into Chinese and English. ASME, EN, CAN, BS, GB codes were added.[9]
