Ceasar ii software

On the Ready to Install page, click Install to begin installing the client software. As the installation progresses, the status displays in a series of progress bars.

If an ESL license type was selected, the Aladdin device driver installation begins. Click OK on each dialog box. On the InstallShield Wizard Completed page, click Show the readme file to view information about this version. Click Next to continue. The Setup Type dialog box displays. Click Next on the Welcome page. The piping spreadsheet duplicates "elemental" data values forward to succeeding elements as the user defines them. When appropriate, databases can be accessed to obtain values for valves, flanges, and expansion joints.

If desired, an expansion joint modeler can be invoked to build the necessary spreadsheets with the appropriate tie-bar connections to accurately simulate a variety of expansion joint styles. Models can be started anywhere and can continue in any direction from tees or anchors. The unique List Processor provides a concise method to review specific data sets, for example all the bends in the model. The fields in the List Processor tables are active, allowing user modification of the data.

This processor also enables groups of elements to be "blocked," with further manipulation of the data in the block. Blocks can be rotated, duplicated, renumbered, or deleted as necessary. Over 60 restraint types provide the most comprehensive library of boundary conditions available to the pipe stress analyst today.

Support types include all of the expected linear and non-linear directional restraints, as well as: bottomed out spring hangers, large rotation rods, and bi-linear soil restraints. The Buried Pipe Modeler allows rapid creation of complex soil models.

By simply specifying the soil characteristics, and which portions of a system are buried, CAESAR II can re-mesh the model, computing the soil restraint locations, directions, and stiffnesses as necessary. Through the use of 32 bit compilers, the upper limit on model size is restricted solely by the amount of free upper RAM.

The limits on model size are reported in the input processor, to inform the user during model construction. The help text details exactly what is expected, why, and when appropriate the code reference. When necessary, the help text shows the expected units for the current data cell. The same help engine is used to provide program diagnostics in the event of system or program failures. Diagnostic messages are available for computational as well as system abnormalities.

All help and diagnostic messages provide complete contact information to ensure users have a variety of methods available for contacting the Intergraph support staff.

The input graphics module reduces most input modeling mistakes, by permitting the display of the major elemental data. Node numbers, restraints, spring hangers, nozzles, tees, bends, expansion joints, and rigid elements can all be shown graphically. Numeric data such as element lengths, temperatures, and pressures can also be displayed. The interactive rotate, pan, and zoom features of the input module are controlled directly from the cursor pad.

A "high light" option is available to selectively plot any portion of the model matching a particular search criteria, such as "all the pipe of a certain temperature. Additionally, the output graphics can show the direction of restraint action, and the individual details displacements, forces, and stresses on each element in the model as the cursor is moved through the model.

This error checker analyzes the user-specified input and checks it for consistency from both a "finite element" and "piping" point of view. Two types of messages are generated by this error checker, warnings and fatal errors. Warning messages are conditions which may be errors, but are numerically acceptable. Integration with CAD design packages lets you quickly import models, reducing risk for errors and costly iteration time between CAD and Stress Analysis divisions. Increase Productivity Take advantage of static and dynamic analysis with cutting-edge graphics.

Save Time Benefit from intuitive analysis model creation. Improve Data Accuracy Make use of design tools and wizards along with comprehensive error checking. Design Tools and Wizards Such tools take the guess work out of producing accurate analysis and recommending practical design changes.

Analysis Options Users can analyze the effects of wind, support settlement, seismic loads and wave loads. Error Checking and Reports The integrated error checker analyzes the user input and checks for consistency from both a "finite element" and "piping" point of view.
