The Input Toolbars toolbar, which you can access from the Classic Piping Input dialog box or the 3D Model, contains the following functions.

Archive - Assigns a password to the job to prevent inadvertent alteration of the model or to type the password to unlock the file. Archived input files cannot be altered or saved without this password; however, they can be opened and reviewed. For more information, see Archive.

Insert - Inserts an element. For more information, see Insert Element.

Delete - Deletes all selected elements.

You must select the current element to delete the current element. You can also select and delete other elements without deleting the current element. For more information, see Delete Element.

Break - Divides an element into two or more individual elements. For more information, see Break.

Global Coordinates - Specifies the absolute (global) coordinates for the start node of each disconnected pipe system segment. For more information, see View/Set Coordinates.

Close Loop - Closes a loop by filling in the delta coordinates between two nodes in the model.

Increment Node - Specifies the increment between nodes. CAESAR II uses the nodal increment set in Configure/Setup when generating the From and To nodes for new elements. You can override this behavior by typing a different value in this dialog box. For more information, see Auto Node Number Increment.

Distance - Finds the distance between two specified nodes or between any two points you select on the model. For more information, see Distance.

Valve Flange Database - Provides access to the CADWorx valve and flange databases. This command displays the Valve and Flange Database: <database name> dialog box. For more information, see Valve Flange Database.

Expansion Joint Modeler - Creates expansion joints and displays the Expansion Joint Database <data file> and Expansion Joint Modeler dialog boxes. For more information, see Expansion Joint.

Title - Displays the title page of the current job. This is up to 60 lines of text that is stored with the problem, and may be used for detailing run histories, discussing assumptions, and so on. These lines may be printed with the output report through the input echo.

Hanger Design Criteria - Specifies global spring hanger design criteria for the model. For more information, see Hanger Design Control Data.

Intersection SIF scratchpad

Intersection SIF Scratchpad - Displays the Review Intersection SIF's dialog box. You can calculate stress intensification factors (SIFs) for intersection configurations under different codes. For more information, see Intersection SIF Scratchpad.

Bend SIF Scratchpad - Displays the Review Bend SIF's dialog box. You can calculate stress intensification factors (SIFs) for bend configurations under different codes. For more information, see Bend SIF Scratchpad.

DNV Wall Thickness Calculator - Displays the DNV Wall Thickness Calculator dialog box. You can calculate DNV 2017 output for the selected pipe element using the scratchpad. For more information, see DNV Wall Thickness Calculator.

B31.8 Buckling Calculator - Displays the B31.8 Buckling Calculator dialog box. You can calculate B31.8-2018 buckling strain and stress values. For more information, see B31.8 Buckling Calculator.

Special Execution Options - Displays the Special Execution Parameters dialog box. The software globally sets the parameters for the model. For more information, see Special Execution Parameters.
