CAESAR II Version

  • Batch Stream Processor - A new processor has been included which allows multiple jobs (up to 12) to be run in series, without intervention. The jobs can be static analysis, dynamic analysis, or both.

  • Expansion Joint Database - The Pathway Bellows expansion joint database has been updated. The new database includes two additional pressure classes and diameters out to 144 inches.

  • A new expansion joint database from RM Engineered Products has been added for this release.

  • Input Echo - The input echo processor has been modified so that the input echo precedes the output data. Additionally, the intermediate data generated by the error checker now appears in this listing.

  • B31G - The B31G criteria for the remaining strength of corroded pipelines has been incorporated. This module includes the original B31G criteria as well as several of the modified methods discussed in the Battelle project.

  • Output Processor - A new report has been added to the output processor which generates a Restraint Summary report. This summary details all the loads for all selected load cases for each restraint in the model.

  • Thermal Bowing - The effects of thermal bowing on horizontal pipes can be analyzed. By specifying the thermal gradient between the bottom and the top of the pipe, CAESAR II computes the loads induced and include them with the thermal loads.

  • 32 Bit Modules - All of the dynamic modules have been moved from the 16 bit mode to the 32 bit mode. Additionally, the animation program now supports EGA and VGA display modes.

  • Title Page Template - A user-configurable ASCII text file can now be used as a title page template.

  • Interface Updates - The CAESAR II data matrix interface and the Autoplant interface have both been updated to use the currently active units file. The ComputerVision interface has been updated to handle “tube” type piping.

  • Expansion Joint Rating - The expansion joint rating module, ERATE, has been moved into the “Miscellaneous Module”, facilitating input through the standard spreadsheets.

  • Refractory Lining - The computation modules of CAESAR II have been modified to accept a negative value of insulation thickness. If a negative thickness is encountered, the software assumes the insulation is refractory lining (inside the pipe).

  • Minimum Required Thickness - The piping error checker now makes the “minimum required thickness” computation according to B31.1, 104.1. This information is reported for each pipe in the listing of intermediate data (See item 3 above).

  • Spring Hanger Tables - The E. Myatt & Co. spring hanger table has been added.

  • ESL Updates - All of the code used to access the ESLs has been updated to allow access to the 50 and 66 Mhz CPUs.

  • Missing Mass - The dynamics modules can consider missing mass effects in the spectrum solutions.

  • Seismic Anchor Movements - The dynamics modules allows the specification of seismic anchor movements for independent support motion analysis.

  • RCC-M - The French piping code RCC-M, Section C has been incorporated.

  • Languages - The input and dynamic output supports English, French, and Spanish language headings. Language dependent files can be activated with the appropriate command line switch on the INSTALL directive. For example, INSTALL /S installs any Spanish specific files.

  • PCX Files - All of the graphics modules have been modified to allow the images to be saved to disk files in PCX format. This enables these images to be brought into word processing and desktop publishing systems.
