From the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor dialog box, you can create and edit load cases for analysis. A load case is a group of piping system load primitives that are analyzed together.
The dialog box features two views that you select from the upper right corner of the dialog box.
List View
The default view for editing load cases, shows all load cases associated with the job. From this view, you can edit individual load cases, create new load cases by typing in the primitives, and drag and drop from the Loads Defined in Input or the load case identifier to build load cases or create combination load cases.
Other List view functionality includes:
-
Group By functionality
Click a column heading and drag it to the top to sort the list of load cases by that column.
-
Filter functionality on columns
Select the column head filter control and choose the filter options for the selected column.
-
Static columns
See the load case identifier, definition and name even when you scroll to set additional load case options.
-
Column re-ordering
Click and drag to change the order of the List view columns.
-
Load Case Editor context menu
Right-click any load case and insert a blank new load case above or below it, or delete the selected load case without having to click outside of the list.
CAESAR II saves the grouping, filtering, and column re-ordering settings for the current session
only.
Group Edit View
A group (or bulk) editing view lets you select multiple load cases and make changes to options all at once. For more information, see Editing Multiple Load Cases.
