What's New in CAESAR II

Analysis
 Updated the ISO 14692 code stress calculations for load cases using the combination
methods (scalar, max, min, etc.). Previously, the software did not use the effective hoop and
axial stress values when calculating the code stress using the combination methods for
SIGNMAX and SIGNMIN.
 Redesigned the user interface for the API 610 equipment module to improve
functionality and usability. New features include:
 Quick input and viewing of API 610 pumps.
 The Load Case Sets tab lets you quickly define load cases and load case sets with
suction and discharge nozzles.
 Analysis of multiple load cases and multiple pumps.
 Ability to update loads when the results of an imported and linked pipe stress analysis
change.
 Comprehensive, easy-to-read output results on the Output tab.

User Interface
 The Add to Quick Access Toolbar right-click command allows you to add any ribbon
command to the Quick Access toolbar in the main CAESAR II window.

Integration
 Updated the CAESAR II installation wizard to include steps to install the B31J Essentials
product from Paulin Research Group (PRG). B31J Essentials provides a set of calculations
for revised SIFs and flexibility factors, as defined in the upcoming revision to ASME B31J,
Stress Intensification Factors (i-Factors), Flexibility Factors (k-Factors) and their
Determination for Metallic Piping Components. The B31J Essentials product is included with
the latest version of CAESAR II and provides users with the ability to use PRG's FEATools
application to perform the empirical B31J calculations. (CR-TX-20363)
 Added a new Length for Nodal Increment field to the Advanced PCF dialog boxes. This
field sets the nodal increment for imported PCF files based on pipe length, which allows you
to add more node increments for longer lengths of pipe.

Documentation/Help
 Added more explanation and an example for using the Alternate SUS/OCC option of the
Load Case Editor in the Static Analysis section of the CAESAR II User's Guide.
 Revised, reorganized, and added graphics to Tutorial A in the CAESAR II Application Guide.
 To provide better clarity, revised the overview and workflow topics for Advanced PCF
Import (APCF) in the Piping Input Reference section of the CAESAR II User's Guide.
