CAESAR II®
CAESAR II®
The World’s Most Respected Tool for Pipe Stress Analysis
CAESAR II® is a leading software for pipe stress analysis, offering comprehensive capabilities for static and dynamic analysis, error checking, and international code compliance.
Key Features
Advanced Static and Dynamic Analysis
CAESAR II® provides robust capabilities for both static and dynamic analysis. It evaluates a piping system's response to various loads, including thermal, deadweight, pressure, wind, support settlement, seismic, and wave loads. The software also handles nonlinear effects such as support lift-off, gap closure, and friction, ensuring comprehensive analysis of complex scenarios.
Comprehensive Load Case Management
The software offers flexible load case definitions and manipulation, allowing users to import or export customized load cases through an easy-to-use template. Users can bypass or exclude certain cases to speed up analysis time and focus on specific conditions. Group Edit and List views facilitate quick changes to multiple load cases, making the analysis process efficient and streamlined.
Direct ASME B31J SIFs and Flexibilities Implementation
CAESAR II® integrates the ASME B31J-2017 code directly, eliminating the need for third-party products for B31J SIFs and Flexibilities calculations. This feature simplifies the workflow and reduces design time, construction costs, and lifecycle maintenance costs. Users can apply B31J SIFs without Flexibilities if needed, using a global switch in the configuration settings.
Extensive International Code Support
CAESAR II® supports over 50 international piping codes and multiple editions, including ASME, EN, ISO, and many others. This wide-ranging code support ensures compliance with various global standards and regulations, making the software suitable for projects worldwide.
Powerful Integration with CAD and Structural Software
The software interfaces seamlessly with CAD-based tools like CADWorx Plant and Intergraph Smart® suites, as well as structural software such as GT STRUDL®. This integration allows for efficient data exchange and ensures that structural stiffness is considered in the analysis. Users can import models and share load details post-analysis, facilitating collaboration between stress analysis and civil/structural teams.
Advanced Graphics and Usability
CAESAR II® features advanced 3D model graphics with fast response times and intelligent refreshes. The intuitive interface, including right-click menus and customizable toolbars, enhances usability and reduces modeling time. Users can work directly from the 3D model, import models from CAD packages, and experience superior usability with list input grids and functionality.
