CAESAR II Version
11.0 (2019)

Allows you to indicate your own wind profiles, based on one of two options:

  • Wind Pressure vs. Elevation

  • Wind Velocity vs. Elevation

When you select a user-defined wind code (Wind Pressure vs. Elevation or Wind Velocity vs. Elevation), enter the corresponding pressure or velocity values. Enter a single entry in the table if a uniform pressure or velocity is to act over the entire piping system. Otherwise, type the pressure or velocity profile for the applicable wind loading.

The software acquires the pressure/velocity and elevation values from the piping input. They do not necessarily match the current setting in the configuration file.
