Specifies which system folder CAESAR II users to run the software. Select a folder in the list.

Because the software writes the configuration file (CAESAR.cfg) to the local data folder, you can configure different data folders to reference different system folders. All system folders contain formatting files, units files, text files, and other user-configurable data files. Some of these formatting files are language or code-specific. Therefore, you may want to switch between system folders depending on the current job.

Use Multiple System Folders in the Same Location

You can create multiple system folders in the same location to provide different options for different projects. System folder names must use the following naming convention: SYSTEM.xxx, where .xxx, is a three-character suffix identifying the folder. When you follow the required naming convention, you can create as many system folders as needed within the CAESAR II installation program folder.. CAESAR II uses the system folder you indicate in the configuration settings.

For example, you could set up system folders specified for each of the piping codes configurations you need, such as:

System.STM (Stoomwezen code system configuration)

System.ANC (ASME NC code system configuration)

System.313 (ASME B31.3 code system configuration)

You could also set up system folders that are customized specific projects.

Browse and locate any system folders named using the SYSTEM.xxx format from the Alternate CAESAR II Distributed Data Path configuration setting. Then, you can select one and save the configuration.

Use System Folders in Varying Locations

You can create system folders that reside in other locations, such as somewhere on your network. This allows you to share the settings from the System folder with others. However, you must copy the System folder and other necessary program folders to the secondary location.

You must also copy the LIB_I, LIB_M, and Spec folders (found in the Program folder along with the System folder) to each new system folder location. You can leave the Backup, Examples, and Temp folders in the original program folder location, as shown in the example below.

The file name requirements mentioned in the previous section apply for system folders on a network or in a secondary location as well. In addition, you can set up network system files that apply at a project level.

There must be a primary system folder, named System, in which the software can place accounting, version, and diagnostic files that it creates during execution. The location of the primary system folder is dependent on the specific edition of the Windows operating system, as follows:

Windows 7 and later

"C:\ProgramData\INTERGRAPH CAS\CAESAR II\<version number>\System"
