    Using stiffeness in the nozzle of the vessel

    This sounds like someone performed a "nozzle stiffness" evaluation outside of CAESAR II, then input the stiffnesses. The origin of these values should have been provide - check the "title page". If there are no notes, I'd suggest going back to whomever gave you the model and ask. Richard Ay...

    pressure thrust load with using Caeser II

    "Snickster" is correct. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS), Consultant

    Equivalent materials for Caesar II input

    You can use the Database Editor to add the data for these materials. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS), Consultant

    Rotate: Unskew

    The "unskew" option is intended to return a block of piping elements to their previous "un-skewed" orientation. For example, say you have a cantilever with 10 elements in the "X" direction. Next you rotate the cantilever about the "Y" axis 30 degrees. If you follow this with the "unskew"...

    Forums.coade.com

    Hexagon has decided that the Forums needed to be "Internalized". They started something called "Smart Community" hosted on SalesForce, but you have to have a current maintenance contract to gain access. The COADE Forums are still there...

    Displaying piping in different colours.

    If you assign line-numbers, yes. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS), Consultant

    add new pump type in equipment data base of CAESAR II

    At the moment, CAESAR II addresses pumps according to API-610. This Standard provides equations (to determine nozzle loads) as well as the corresponding load/moment limits. There is no database per se of pumps in CAESAR II. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS), Consultant

    Friction in Caesar

    Assign friction to the Y (vertical) support. In CAESAR II, friction acts in the "plane" normal to the restraint. Therefore in your model, you may end up with friction (restraint) loads in X and Z. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)

    Hide part of model

    If you're using line numbers, you can set the visibility to zero (for the lines you don't want to see). For the XYZ coordinates, you can: a) view the coordinate list, or b) use the 'distance' operator to find the distance from a specific node to the origin or to any other node. Richard Ay...

    Problem creating a Tee

    Error Check the model, this sounds like a coordinate mismatch error. The problem is visually apparent when attempting to close loops. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)

    Nozzle Load Issue

    Your plot doesn't show where node 10350 is. If you still have this issue, please open an SR on Smart Support and send in your model. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)

    Component loads obtained from a model that includes friction

    Indeed your conclusion is correct. Friction does make a flexibility analysis non-linear, and as a consequence superposition does not hold. This is why a load case with W+P1+T1+U1+D1 does not yield the same result as running those five load primitives independently and summing the results. If...

    (Caesar II) allowable stress in occasional and expansión load

    ...surprising result. I presume you have Sc and Sh values defined in the input? If not, that is the problem. If so, we need to see your input file (*.c2). Can you open an SR on Smart Support and send in the job please? Make sure you include details about your OS and specific CAESAR II...

    Material Database Question

    Correct, you would respond [Yes] to keep the original material properties. To view the material properties in the database, use the Material_Database_Editor. This will show you the materials from CMAT and UMATx. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)

    Custom Report Templates

    Issues like this should really be directed to Hexagon Tech Support, using the Smart Support portal. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)

    Material Database Question

    The UMATx.umd file(s) should be placed in the \system directory for the version of CAESAR II you are running. You can find \system under \ProgramData. 1) "Yes means Keep Properties" which means keep the properties that are stored in the input (._A) file. "No means update the material...

    Piping flange constrain loads convert to an equivalent pressure to check the flange rating

    Yes CAESAR II converts that applied force and moment into an equivalent pressure term, which is then used in the ASME equations (Appendix 2) to determine flange stresses. Note, ASME Section VIII Appendix 2 is not a leakage check. The best you can do in this regard is activate the leakage check...

    Recalculated Sifs

    Yes you need to indicate the tee type - this is necessary to ensure the proper in-plane/out-of-plane directions can be determined. Richard Ay Hexagon PPM (CAS)
