Click Interfaces > Hydraulic > LIQT from the main window ribbon.
-
When you reach the LIQT interface, enter the following input to process the LIQT data:
-
LIQT output file name. (This file is generated by SAI’s LIQT package with extension .FRC)
-
Names of LIQT nodes identifying pipes for which response spectra are to be generated.
-
Corresponding CAESAR II node numbers for the LIQT pipes.
-
Maximum number of points on each generated response spectrum curve.
-
Frequency cut-off value.
-
-
After the proper input data is acquired, the LIQT interface module starts the data transfer. During the computation, you can monitor the process status. Click Cancel at any time to stop the computation.
The resulting force spectrum files (DLF curves) are written to the CAESAR II data directory during the computation phase of the software. The names of generated force spectrum files have the following format:
L*.DLF where "*" is the user CAESAR II node number in the piping model that corresponds to the equivalent LIQT pipe name.
-
When all computations have completed, you are returned to the CAESAR II main window.
