CAESAR II 2016 Hot Fix 3 Description

CAESAR II 2016, Hotfix 3 updates the wind pressure units that display on the Wind Loads tab of the Static Analysis – Load Case Editor. Previously, when you selected the Wind Pressure vs Elevation option in Select Wind Code/Profile and Year, the software displayed Pressure in internal pressure units, though the software used wind load pressure units in its calculations. For example, if you used English units, the software displayed Pressure as lb./sq.in, instead of lb./sq.ft. The software now correctly displays wind load pressure units in Pressure.

This hotfix affects units displayed on the Static Analysis – Load Case Editor. However, you should also review jobs including wind pressure in CAESAR II 2016 (8.0) to ensure you entered the appropriate units. You can generate the Miscellaneous Data output report, and then select Wind in the Miscellaneous Data Options to verify the wind pressure values used in the calculation.
