CAESAR II - The World Standard for Pipe Stress Analysis

CAESAR II is a complete solution that allows quick and accurate analysis of piping systems subjected to a wide variety of loads that take into account weight, pressure, thermal, seismic and other static and dynamic conditions. It can analyze piping systems of virtually any size or complexity. Whether you are designing a new system or
trouble-shooting an existing one, the program produces results that completely describe
the system behavior based on user-defined variables and accepted industry guidelines.
With CAESAR II, you can do more in less time and do it more accurately.

Data Input

CAESAR II makes it easy to input and display all the data needed to accurately define a piping system analysis model. Input can be accessed or modified on an element-by-element basis, or datasets can be selected to make global changes.

Cutting-edge Graphics

The CAESAR II input graphics module makes quick work of developing analysis models while clearly indicating areas of concern and providing an excellent idea of the piping system's flexibility. Color-coded stress models and animated displacements for any stress load case are available.

Design Tools and Wizards

Tools and wizards for tasks such as creating expansion loops or viewing plant models in the analysis space help bridge the gap between knowledge and experience. Such tools take the guess work out of producing accurate analysis and recommending practical design changes.

Analysis Code & Standard:

CAESAR II comes with codes and standards required for many worldwides applications. Its got around 25+ International Piping Code and various standards for Wind Loading, Seismic Loading, Equipment Loading, flange Evalution and for Nozzle flexibility and Stress Analysis.

Analysis Options

Besides the evaluation of a piping system’s response to thermal, deadweight and pressure loads, CAESAR II analyzes the effects of wind, support settlement, seismic loads and wave loads. Nonlinear effects such as support lift off, gap closure and friction are also included. CAESAR II also selects the proper springs for supporting systems with large vertical deflections. Dynamic analysis capabilities include modal, harmonic, response spectrum and time history analysis.

Error Checking and Reports

The CAESAR II program includes an integrated error checker. This error checker analyzes the user input and checks for consistency from both a "finite element" and "piping" point of view. Reports are clear, accurate concise and fully user definable.

Material and Assemblies Databases

CAESAR II incorporates table look-ups for piping materials and components plus expansion joints, structural steel sections, spring hangers and material properties including allowable stress. This ensures correct datasets are used for each analysis. CAESAR II comes complete with major international piping codes.

Bi-directional Interface with Design

CAESAR II incorporates the industry's first and only seamless, bi-directional link between CAD plant design and engineering analysis. This link to Intergraph CADWorx® Plant allows the passing of design and analysis data between these packages without data loss.

External Interface

CAESAR II provide data import facilites from the PDS and SmartPlant 3D to elimate the time consuming date entry . Similarly you can bring Surge force from PIPENET Transient  Module to CAESAR II for Water Hammer Analysis.
