Caesar II Statics Training

Where: Houston Training Center

When: May 19-21, 2015

CAESAR II Statics

The CAESAR II Statics class covers proper system modeling guidelines, methods of static analysis of piping systems, evaluation of system designs, and effective approaches to system redesign. The course is broken down into half-day sessions, each covering a major topic. Each of these sessions is not lecture based.  Content is applied to each core aspect of CAESAR II to facilitate hands on learning.  Each day will end with a discussion which reinforces the session topic.  The complete course lasts three days.

Course Outline:

Day 1

• User interface fundamentals.
• Understanding code requirements for pipe stress analysis.
• Beam Bending theory, application to Nodes and Elements.

• Piping input values and value propagation.
• Material Input values and understanding Section II Part D Allowable Stresses.
• Restraint types and application.
• Creating a CAESAR II model using Classic Piping Input.
• Importing a CAESAR II model using CADWorx Professional.

Day 2

• Setting up static load cases.
