Horn First Edition - January 20 (©2014 CAD Training Technologies, LL haunt, TKUSA $to.//www pipingdesignontine.com iWelcome to these Special Videos for Learning CAESAR Il° Fundamentals! This is exciting! When | first started learning CAESAR II | said to myself, "I hope there are some training videos available for me to look at.” | had discovered that watching a video and then following along with an instructor made it much easier for me to learn a subject quickly. If | could just see how to do something, | seemed to catch on faster. | think this is especially true for a more advanced type of software. So fast forward, a few years, and we now have this type of training available! This course is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of CAESAR II, Intergraph's® premier pipe stress analysis system. Our goal here is not to teach you pipe stress analysis (we already assume you know that), but we want you to get started in CAESAR II and quickly begin to solve problems. You'll see how to navigate the software, model piping geometry, and analyze your results. We'll also look for opportunities to explore and use a number of the commands and features in CAESAR II as we go through the process of solving the course examples. So thank you for taking this course and let's get started! Anthony W.

In this course, we're going to explore a lot of the features and topics in CAESAR II software. Our goal in this course is for you to be able to create models analyze them and review your results, as well as navigate the various parts of the software when you're finished with this course. CAESAR II® Fundamentals Cou 2. In this course we're not going to spend much time talking about the theory behind pipe stress analysis. We're going to assume you're already familiar with that. So our goal here is to learn how to use the software. 3. The figure above shows a typical screen in CAESAR II. On the left area, we have what's called the input spreadsheet. This area is where we set up the dimensions of the model, and we have the pipe size and schedule. Lower down in here are the pressures and temperatures, and there's an area to specify the materials for the model. 1 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 4. So this is where it all happens. As we build the model, we'll start seeing an image of it appear in the right area of the screen, This area is called the plot. This is where we can view it from different directions, and we have a number of viewing options. 5. In this example, we have temperatures displayed. So we see we have a higher temperature in one leg than the other. So this interface is what we'll use to view our model as it develops. 6. There are four main areas that we're going to explore in this, course. We'll be building the geometry and modeling with the software. Welll also learn how to run the analysis and the error checker and produce reports and view our results. ay Create Custom Reports Import from 3D CAD Systems 2 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 7. Weill lea how to create custom reports so that you can get your information to come out exactly like you want. Welll also see how to import a model in from a 3D CAD system and work with that, In CADWorx Plant Professional software and Smart Plant 3D, designers have the ability to export out a CAESAR II model. Then the stress analysts can just open it right up in CAESAR II, and it's just quick and easy. This way the pipe stress engineer doesn't have to recreate all the model geometry. So we're going to see how that happens 8. Most of the examples in this course will come out of Appendix S in the ASME B 31.3 piping code. ASME has allowed me to include a copy of appendix $ in your workbook. So this where we're going to be getting the first three problems that we'll analyze in this course. Process Piping As Caer Pree Ping 3 9. If you want more information about the theory behind these first three examples, you can find it here in this appendix S. It’s explained in detail and they discuss the formulas and information that forms the basis of these problems. We'll model and solve these problems ourselves, and also use them as a means to explore a number of features in CAESAR Il 3 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 10. This is what the lessons are going to look like. This first one is just a simple model. It's example one in Appendix S. Next we'll work with a liftoff model, and then we'll do this moment reversal model. So we'll be building these models and comparing our results to what the code shows. Fig. $202.1 UO Mosel 11. This last model is the one | mentioned earlier. This is the 3D model that came out of the CADWorx Plant Professional system. We'll open the input file that CADWorx created for us in CAESAR II and analyze it. We'll be able to use this model as an opportunity to look at the nozzle limit checks on these pumps, and we'll find that we're going to have to modify the geometry some to get within the recommended allowable values on these nozzle loads. 4 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 12.As we do these lessons, we'll also explore other features in CAESAR II. For instance, in the liftoff model, we'll take the +Y restraint out, and we'll have CAESAR II model a hangar for us. In the illustration we can see the hangar installed in the proper position. 13.Also we have a report that shows what's going on here in the model. We'll see that when you put a hangar in using CAESAR II, i's an easy process. CAESAR Il automates so much of that, and the software includes over 30 manufacturers’ catalogs built right into it 5 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 14, Here are some other topics we'll look at. We'll create new load cases for our models. We'll do some nozzle limit checks. We'll animate the displacements in our models, and we'll add a wind load (an occasional load) to one the examples. 15.When we work with the imported CAD model we'll modify it to pass the nozzle limit checks. We'll learn some CAESAR II editing tools that are really nice, and we'll take a part of the geometry, and mirror/copy it around the center line in the YZ axis. We'll also see how to work with block operations, to rearrange and renumber a group of elements in a single step. 6 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 16.Welll be working in a folder called CAESAR II Fundamentals Course Files. In the course itself, there's a link you can click to download the workbook and also the set of background files. So you must start and save your files in this folder because it will set the CAESAR II units automatically and avoid early problems. 17. This course will be in Imperial Units. Later, if you want to do this in metric, those dimensions are included in the first three examples in the code, so you can recreate these later in metric if you'd like to do so. But at first, follow along with the course and do them as shown in Imperial. 18. Here's how the course is going to work. Here's a typical video player, with different videos along the bottom. The best way to go about this is to start playing the video and watch it for just a few minutes. Let it show you one or two specific things, and then you can pause it. 19, While you're watching the video, if you like, there is a full screen toggle along the bottom. So if you can't see it real well, you just click that, and then it displays larger, and you can see itin detail. After you've seen something specific, pause the video, and then toggle over to CAESAR II. Then you will recreate the steps you just saw in the software. The videos will just lead you through everything step-by-step, and you just recreate what they've shown you. 7 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 20.Also your workbook will be very useful. Just have your workbook open up to the right page as you work, and it will follow right along with the video very closely. So you'll see it and hear it in the video, and then you'll use your workbook and recreate it. Learning this way works really well. What's good about a video is if something is shown, and you don't quite understand it, you can just click back a little bit and rewind it, and you can see it again. So nobody's going to get left behind and everybody can work at their own pace here. 21.Now, certification and PDH hours in this course are optional. If you want to eam a certificate and PDH hours, all you have to do is just work through the lessons, pass the quizzes, complete the survey, and the system will produce a certificate automatically for you. If you don't want to pass quizzes or get involved in that, you don't have to do that. The certification is just optional. Certificate of Completion Anthony W. Horn CAESAR II° Funda 22.f you decide you don't want to get a certificate, everything is still available. You can look at all the videos and have access to all the workbooks and all the information. It's just that the system is not going to create a certificate automatically unless the quizzes are passed and the survey has been completed 8 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One 23.Alll ight, we're just about ready to get started now. This is the first example in appendix S, and this is the line we're going to model. You can see it's a pretty simple line. We have the measurements given, and we have the restraints positioned in the figure. So this is the information we're going to be keying in. When we're done, the completed model will look like this, Fig. $301.1 Simple Code Compliant Model 9 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video One A Generic Pipe Stress Model Input Table $301.1 _Termperature/Pressure condos a i oo oe more 24. Here are the design and operating conditions that we'll be working with. We have the size of the pipe given and its schedule, We have other information, like the specific gravity of the fluid, the insulation thickness, and the material, which will in turn give us the pipe's density. So we have everything here that we need, So great!. Let's just go on now to the next video, and we can start our course and begin learning CAESAR II! 10 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 2 1. In this example, we're going to input the values shown in the ASME B31.3 piping code for our problem set up. Once we — have those input into CAESAR II and everything set the way we want, we'll begin to model the geometry of the line. So I'm g! going to toggle over to CAESAR II, and this is how the program looks when it first starts up. if you haven't started CAESAR II yet, Double click on the CAESAR II icon, and let's get it started, 2. Depending on the version you're running, your screen may look like mine or be slightly different, If it's a little different, it's going to be pretty straightforward to figure things out and follow what we're doing. We'll be able to do the work no matter which version you're running. 3. Now well start a new file. Click New. If your screen looks different, you can find File and New on your system and get it started, 4, For the course files, you'll use the CAESAR Il Fundamentals Course Files you downloaded from the course website. Make sure you use this folder for your work. That way the Units will be set and you can find all the files you'll need as you go through the course. You can see on this screen that we're going to be putting in «nee amt some input for piping calculations, but CAESAR II also has the Sree arse cr ability to do some structural steel stress analysis as well. So we have Piping Input checked, and then I'm going to click up in this space for the name and call this, Example_1, then click OK. 5. The system will start up, and it will bring us into the Input Piping screen. First it displays the current units. In this example, we'll be working in Imperial units, so our length is going to be in inches, forces will be in pounds, densities-- insulation density, for instance-- will be in pounds per cubic inch. i Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Two 6. For this example, work in the same units. Then later, you can go back and do this in metric units if you'd like. Click OK to close the units dialog box and get started. 7. The system will display the Input Piping screen. It's ina spreadsheet form and is designed for inputting settings, distances, and other things, like restraints, bends, etc. Also on the right of the spreadsheet, you'll see a window where the CAESAR II model displays as it progresses. ah i 8. The spreadsheet can be moved and docked as needed. Depending on how your input screen is set when it first appears, it may be displayed slightly different than mine. For instance, it might be docked along the top. If that's the case you can drag it down with the mouse and move it as needed (it Be may take a click to activate it). co 9. Also, there are some other things you can do with this Seu Eet spreadsheet area. ll drag and push it up and it will dock. Notice the Auto-hide button in the upper right area of the screen. When that is clicked, the Input spreadsheet will turn into a tab, and the model display area will be much larger. 2 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Two 10. Hovering over the spreadsheet tab and clicking it will reopen the input spreadsheet. It's locked right now, but if you click the auto-hide button again, it unlocks, and then you can drag it and reposition it using the mouse. 11. good way to set up the screen is to hold down the mouse button in the spreadsheet title bar area, then drag it over to the left so that the mouse pointer touches the edge of the left window. Then the input spreadsheet will snap into a docked position, which works well because you can input values and see the model in the right window. What's nice about this set up is the model resizes automatically as it's changed within the window. 12.As you watch the video, you will notice my Input screen is compressed. This is because I'm recording using a fairly low resolution, thinking users might play this material on a mobile device. 13, Now we'll begin to input some of our design parameters. The Input screen has node 10 to 20 displayed. Later, we'll start inputting pipe lengths as the piping geometry gets modeled. However, the first step is to specify the pipe diameter, schedule, material, and other parameters. B Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Two 14. Click in the Diameter field. If the exact diameter is known, we could type it in. In this example we know it's a 16-inch nominal pipe size. Type: 16 , and the system will input the correct pipe diameter. Note: If you hear a beep from your system, that means that a conversion has taken place (in this example 16 was changed to 16.000). Also, you'll see a message appear near the bottom of the input spreadsheet about what is taking place Diameter 16.0000 ‘wusen{ 0.3750 15. Click in the Weight/Schedule field.

Allright. We've got our CAESAR I file opened up and now we'll begin to model the geometry of this line. Let's check our sketch first for measurements. I'm going to hold the Alt key down and press the Tab key, to take a look at the sketch in Appendix S in the B31.3 Piping Code. We'll be building their Example One. 2. We can see on the model that we're given nodes which identify points along the line. The line goes from node 10 to 20, on around 30, then 40, and down to node 50. We can see that on node 10 and also on node 50, we have some anchors. On node 20 we have what's called a Y restraint. This restrains the line and prevents it from moving up or down on the Y direction (the vertical direction) Fig. $301.1 Simple Code Compliant Model 3. In Appendix S, there's a chart that lists the distances on some of these nodes. The chart shows the distance from node 10 to node 15 is 20 feet. So using the values listed, we'll begin to build the model. 4. CAESAR II is set to increment its node count by 10. Click in the "To Node" field. Type: 15 . the Dx field. Type: 20- The hyphen tells the system to use 20 feet for this value. If you just type 20 it will enter it as inches. 16 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Three 5. On node 10 will be an anchor. Double-click the Restraints box. Verify node 10 is set. Click the down arrow, and select Anchor. You can then click on another field or press . 6. Use the Alt_Tab keys to view the model sketch shown in the code. Node 15 is an extra node which give us more information about the stresses and forces in this line. The next node is node 20, which is 20 feet over in the X direction 7. Use the Alt_Tab keys to return to CAESAR II. What we want to do is tell the system to continue on to the next point. There's a toolbar in CAESAR II that is used to navigate between nodes and add or delete nodes as needed. The buttons on the toolbar will go to the Next, or Previous nodes, as well as the beginning or end of the line. 8. Click the Continue button. The system will increment the node count.

[ Dieta eae J We have a segment selected, so if we click on the Zoom to Selection button, the system will automatically zoom into that area for us. So CAESAR II has a variety of ways to zoom to areas of the model. 2 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Four 5. Another option we have is an Orbit command. Click Orbit, and hold down the mouse button, and the model will rotate (your view is orbiting around the model). Depending upon where you click on the model, you will move around that point. An easier orbit option to control is Orbit with Vertical. Click that button, then hold down the mouse button and drag it. The vertical line in this will stay vertical, and your view of the model will not tit over to the side. So | think this command is a little easier to control. 6. Here are buttons for Pan and Zoom. We can also pan and zoom just using the mouse itself. Click the Select button to disable Orbit. Roll the mouse wheel in or out to zoom in or out. Hold down the wheel of the mouse and move it left or right to pan. You can see when the wheel of the mouse is held down, the Pan button highlights. 7. This Walkthrough is an interesting feature.

This button allows you to divide up the screen into multiple viewports. Notice the crosshairs appear across the full screen. If you move the mouse across the screen you can divide it into four viewports, Depending upon where the crosshairs are positioned, you can set the size of the viewports as you like. Get the crosshairs approximately centered and then click. Now, instead of a single viewport, the system creates four different views. Next we can set each of these views as we'd like Activate the upper left viewport (click in it once). Then click the Top View button. That view will display as the top view. Do the same in the other viewports. Set the Lower Right to the Right View. Set the upper right to the Southeast Isometric View. 28 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Four 21. The way to reset the display to a single viewport is to move the pointer back down toward the middle part of the screen, where the viewports intersect. Then hold down the mouse button and move the crosshairs back to the upper left corner. Drag them all the way off the screen and release. Then you can reset the display to a Southeast Isometric view. So why don't you experiment with these commands? Try the zoom options, change the views (top, front, southwest isometric), change the display size of the node numbers, and set up multiple viewports. Get familiar with these display options and it will be helpful as you work with CAESAR II in your career. 29 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 5 1, We're back in our model and now we're ready to begin the analysis of this line. One thing to mention is the piping code that we're running, which is the ASME B31.3 Code. CAESAR II has a number of codes built into it. If you click the down arrow where the code is displayed, you can see the list of available codes to work with. 2. The analysis uses this toolbar. Click the Start Run button. CAESAR II will check our geometry and our settings. Notices something that it we Run the Error Checker need to verify or correct, it will display some messages or warnings above the center of gravity report. irit Pf Stat Run The messages will appear in Green or Red Green messages are things you will need to verify. CAESAR II will be able to run the analysis, but it's suggesting you check these. Red messages are errors that need to be fixed before proceeding. CAESAR I will not be able to continue the analysis until the items mentioned in the red messages are corrected 3. So this example checked out OK. Error check and anaye Job Click the Running Man button (the Batch Run button). The system will start the analysis. 4, This is the screen that shows the results of the analysis that CAESAR II has done. On the left are some load cases that CAESAR II has created and recommended and used for its analysis. You can see that this problem has five load cases. The first two are called operating load cases. Included in those are the weight and the temperature and pressure. Load Cases Analyzed 1 (OPE) W+T14P1 2 (OPE) W+T24PI 5. The first load case analyzes the system in one of its 3 (SUS) W+P1 operating conditions. The load case includes the piping 4 (EXP) L4=L1-L3 system's weight, the higher temperature and the pressure. | | 5 (EXP) LS=L2-l3 30 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Five 10, 4 The second operating load case looks at the weight and the lower temperature (ambient) and the pressure. The way this works, if you click one of these load cases and select it, you could then come over to the right area where the reports are listed and click one of them. Then you can see the results that CAESAR II obtained for the load case you selected when it went through and calculated all the results, We'll do this soon. The third load case listed is called the Sustained load case. It involves the weight and the pressure. This represents the piping system in its installed state, but not operating and heated up yet. CAESAR II has also created two Expansion load cases. The first one is called L4. Load Case L4 analyzes what happens to the system as it heats up from ambient temperature (Sustained Load Case L3) to its high temperature (Operating Load Case L1). Using this Expansion load case you can view and check the stresses caused as the system expands from ambient to hot. The last load case, LS, is looking at the expansion between the second temperature and the installed (ambient) temperature. CAESAR II is going to assume ambient at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, but this can be changed in the configuration settings for all jobs or on individual jobs. Later, we'll create another load case down to illustrate how this, is done, and it will analyze the expansion between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature. Before we take a look at some of these results, there is a thing or two to mention. If we take a look at the B31.3 piping codes in appendix S, we'll find a lot of detail in here on how these calculations were set up and done. If you'd like to get a more in-depth look at this, you could review the copy we included in your notes with ASME's permission. When we run our results and we compare the answers to the examples, we're going to be running with default CAESAR II settings. Load Cases Analyzed 1 (OPE) W+T14P1 2 (OPE) W+T2+P1 3 (SUS) W+P1 4 (EXP) L4=L1-13 5 (EXP) L5=L2-13 31 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Five 12.For our first report, Click on Operating Load Case 4. Click on the report called Local Element Forces. This will return for us is a report that shows the different forces and bending moments for the different nodes in the model. 13, Click the View Reports button, which will display the results on the screen. The system has other report display options. Next to the View Reports button are other buttons that will send the report out to Microsoft Excel® or Microsoft Word®. 14, The system will generate the report for us. The report shows the different nodes, and then the different forces, in X, Y, and Z, and also the different bending moments around X, Y, and Z. 15. If we look at node 10, we can see the Fx. The force in the x direction is 5956, and the moment around Y is 15872 (15871.9). So let's just remember these values which we'll compare to the Code results - 5956 and 15872. 16, Looking at the Code and scrolling down, we'll see their results, They had 5960, and their bending moment result was 15870. So we're within a 1% range of their calculated results.

The report also includes horizontal and vertical deflections. Let's look at these three nodes, nodes 15, 20, and what they call 30 near. In CAESAR II, that node is number 28 (we'll discuss this numbering difference in a later video). These three nodes have horizontal deflection values of 0.72, 1.44, 1.73, 17.Now we'll see what CAESAR II came up with for these same values. We'll toggle back to CAESAR II, and close this report. Then we'll stay in the same load case, and click on the Displacements report. 18, Click on the View Reports button, and the results will display on the screen. Looking at the results for nodes 15, 20, and 28, we can see we're getting the same values: 0.72, 1.44, and 1.73. So our model and analysis is producing the same numbers that we saw in the B31.3 Code example. 19,So you go ahead and experiment with this for a while. Run some of these other reports. You can see how they look and you can get a sense of some of the things that CAESAR II can report out. 20. In the next video, we'll create a custom report. We'll set a report up that looks just like the one shown in the Code. We'll include the axial forces, bending moments, and horizontal and vertical deflections, and we'll be able to see how our results compare to the example problem in the Code. 33 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 6 1. In this video, we're going to build a custom report. This will be a good exercise to go through since this will be useful to you in the future. We'll format our output results so that they can easily be compared to those listed in the B31.3 Code example. The way we build a custom report is through using this tool bar up along the top of the screen. 2. When we build a custom report it will appear in the list in the Togau aoe lower part of the screen. The first button is to create a new report, 50 Ped Click on the Add New Custom Report button. When it first appears, the report is untitled. Highlight the report title (Untitled) As we look at this report set up, in the left area of the screen we have some template settings. We have a header section and the report body section, and we have options on changing the type of the fonts and the sizes. We also have a preview area to the right that lets us see the report as we develop it. 3. The report we're going to build is going to be similar to the one we saw earlier in the 831.3 examples. Let's take a quick look at that for a moment. If we look at the report, we can see that it has four columns. It has an axial force column, bending moments, and then horizontal and vertical deflections. So these are going to be the fields that we pull into our custom report. Teble $301.51 Operating Load Case Ress: Intemal Loads and Deflectons 34 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Six 4, Ill toggle back over to the report builder, and we'll take a look at adding these fields to our report. Down toward the bottom is where we'll be able to access that information we need. So the first thing we can do is, Click on the area called global forces. Click the small arrow next to it. Click the arrow next to Axial Forces. This is the value that will be in column one in the new report. 5. In the field called Column Order, Change the 0 to a1. In the field called Precision, Change the 2 to a0. This means the report will display whole numbers with no decimals. You'll notice the report flashes as you hit enter each time. This is indicating I's updating. 6. The second column will be Bending Moments. The one we need to include is the moments around z. Click the arrow next to MZ. Set the column number to 2. Set the precision to 0. 7. The next two columns will be Displacements. Click the arrow next to Displacements. Click the arrow next to DX. — 3 Set the column number to 3. — : Leave the precision set to 2. Click the arrow next to DY. Set the column number to 4. Leave the precision set to 2. OK. So now we'll save this. What we'll do is [ata Click the X in the comer to close it, and the system will prompt us to save the report as we exit. Click Yes to save it. 35 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Six 8. The custom report appears in the list. Click on the new report to highlight it. Click the View Report button to view the report on the screen. The system will display the results. In viewing the report, we can see the title shown as expected Also we can see the different columns are filled out. So it’s very easy to build a custom report in CAESAR II 9. What I'l do next is copy some of these and paste them into a page showing how they compare to the results in the B31.3 piping code. In the meantime, why don't you pause the video and build the report as shown. 10.|'ve copied and pasted the results that we obtained in our report next to the calculated the results that the B31.3 Appendix S example calculated, I've left a few of these fields off the list for simplicity, and also so that we could show these side-by-side a little easier. 36 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Six If we compare our results to the Code results, we can look at node 15 and see how closely we match. The Code had an axial force of negative 5,960 and a bending moment of 7,900. Our computed results had a negative 5,956 and 7,897. So we're within a fraction of 1% of what they calculated. {Wile $9085: Opting We had similar results when we compare the displacements. The Code showed 0.72 and 0.05 for the vertical. We had the same numbers: 0.72, 0.05. ‘As we look down the list at the other results we can see that CAESAR II had results that are virtually identical to the Code results. The note down here in the B31.3 Code is saying that these are average from commercial programs with a variance within units conversion tolerance, So our calculator results are coming out as expected. So great. What we're going to do in the next video is we'll look at the sustain load case and some of the calculated results that we get from that. After that we'll write a new expansion load case that will let us check the expansion across the full range of temperatures from highest to lowest. 37 Copyright® 2014 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 7 1. In this video we're going to take a look at the sustained load case, and we'll compare our calculated results with what appears in the Code, Shown is a table from the B31.3 piping Code, and we can see that there are several different columns. Included is an axial force value, there is a column for the bending moment, and there is a column for the sustained stress. CAESAR || will refer to sustained stress as a code stress. Table $301.6 Sustained Forces and Stresses (Allowable, 5, = 130 MPa (18,900 psi)) ‘iat Bending ‘Sustained Force, Moment, Stiess, No) Nem (fetb) Si (Signe S nsenes ws tosd Node Note (3) ote (Note @)1 10 anchor 13270 (4735) 17 260 (12,730) 59 100 (8,560) 20 support -3 270 (-735) 56 130 (41,400) 99 200 (14,370) 30 far 19 880 (-4,470) 16 320 (12,040) 72700 (10,540) 40 far +3270 (+735) 2340 (1,730) 46.050 (6,680) 50 anchor +3270 6735) 37 860 (27,930) 80 350 (11,650) ores: (1) Loads, deflections, and stresses are averaged from commercial programs with a variance within units" conversion tolerance. (2) Axial forces have their sign retained and do not include the signed axial pressure force, which is also included in the sustained stress, 5 2. Notice how the tables lists the nodes. It includes a node 30 far and node 40 far. 3, When we first designed our system, we specified a distance from node 20 to node 30 in the x direction, and then we went from 30 to 40 in the y, and so forth. 4. When we got to node 30, we treated it like it was in the corner-- or the vertex-- as the line went from node 20, to node 30, and on to node 40. This is how CAESAR II models a line in the x input piping screen, 5. However, when the analysis is run, CAESAR II will shift these nodes, and add additional nodes around the bends. Node 30 will actually shift up around the bend, when you examine the results in the report. The same will happen for node 40. CAESAR II will shift further around the bend during its analysis. 38 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Seven 6. As these nodes get shifted, CAESAR II will add a couple of additional intermediate points. So at the beginning of the bend, we'll see there's now a new node called node 28. At the midpoint of the bend is a new node 29, and at the end of the bend we'll find node 30. 7. So when the report in the Code shows a node callled 30 far, it's referring to the point on the far end of the elbow. The same is true for node 40 far. 8. The output reports in CAESAR II list all of the bends in the line. In the table in the piping Code, only some are shown. 9. The B31.3, Appendix S result for the Axial Force on node 10 is 735. On node 30 it becomes 4,470, and at node 50, the value is back to 735. So let's see what we get when we run our analysis in CAESAR Il. I'l toggle over to that, and when we left CAESAR II earlier we were viewing results in the operating load case. 10.We'll select the sustained load case, and we'll click on the report called global element forces extended. Click the button to produce the report and display it on the screen, Standard Reports 1 (OPE) WHTLAPL Displacements 2 (OPE) weT24PL Restraints Restraints Extended (0) 4=L143 Local Restraints 5 (EP) LSe1213 Festaint Summary 6 (EP) Lo=L142 Festaint Summay Extended Nozale Cheek Flange Pea, Flange NC-36583 Global Elemert Forces Local Element Forces 39 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Seven When we review the calculated results for node 10, CAESAR II returned a value of 735, which matched the value listed in the Code's results. The same agreement occurs at node 30, where we see CAESAR II calculated 4,470 for that, which matched the number shown in the Code. You remember they call that node 30 far, which corresponds now to our node 30. Likewise, If we check the values at node 50, we can see that we matched that as well. 11. Let's take a look now at the computed values that we got for bending moments. On node 60, we had a bending moment of 27,936. We can also see that we had a high bending moment on node 20, and it was 41,400. Then when we look at the value for node 10, we have 12,730. So let's see what the Code came up with for those. 12.Under bending moment for the Code results, they showed 27,930, 41,400, and 12,730. So our results came out virtually the same. 40 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Seven 13, Let's see how we compare when we take a look at the sustained stresses. In the B31.3 examples, they go from 8,560 up to 14,370, and back down to 111,650. Let's see how we did in CAESAR II with these. 14, 'll toggle back over to CAESAR, and we'll close out this report. This was our extended forces report. What we do now is we'll Click on the stresses extended report.

So the values we got are Node 10: 8,572 Node 20: 14,388 and Node 50: 11,656. 16, Checking the values in the report, they went from 8,560 14,370 and 11,650. So the results computed by CAESAR II came out as expected, and matched those given in the example. This is a good point to pause the video. Go ahead and get your model and analysis to here. Run these reports, compare results, and then we'll continue on after this. 42 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 8 1. Now we're going to take a look at these two expansion load cases. The first expansion load case is load case four, and it's checking the expansion between load case one and three. So it's the expansion between the highest temperature and the ambient temperature. 2. The last load case recommended by CAESAR II was the expansion load case which checks the expansion between the coldest temperature and ambient temperature. What we'll do in this video is write a new load case that will show the full range of expansion, from the lowest temperature, up to the highest temperature. This will show us how much our system is going to expand across this full range of temperatures. 3. The way you build a new load case is using the load case editor. Close out the window which shows the load cases and the reports, and we'll retum back into our main screen. This button is the one that we'll click to open the load case editor. When we click on that, it shows us our various load cases, These are the ones that CAESAR II has generated for us and recommended. At any time, you can click on this Recommend button, and it will update the list, showing the load cases it recommends. 4. Now we'll create a new load case. Click in this L5 space to make it active. Click the small button that has a plus, which will an add a new entry in the list. Click inside the Lé area, and we can begin to add some new information. 43 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Eight 5. This load case will calculate the expansion across the full range of temperatures. In this case, that will be the difference between L1 and L2 (L1 is at the high temperature and L2 is at the lowest temperature). If we take that difference, the system will calculate the line across the full range of expansion. 6. Click down in the square next to L6, and it becomes active, Type: L4-L2. In the field for the Stress Type column, Click, and click the down arrow, then click on Expansion. The new load case is now defined. Now we'll test it. 7. Click the Running Man button to start the analysis, and CAESAR 1I will calculate its results, and include this load case as well. 8. We see now that our new load cases appeared in the list of load cases analyzed. Later, if we click it to highlight it, we will be able to select some of the various reports, and view the calculated results that occurred from using this load case At this time, we're going to set up a custom report that matches the one shown in the B31.3 example. is La Ls: nt wert L143 L213 Toad Caves Analyeed (OPEL 2 (OPE) WaTi+Pi w+T2481 3 (SUS) W4PL 4(P)L4L143 5 (EXP) L5eL243 6 (EXP) Le=t112 R aa Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Eight 9.

The new report will appear on our Custom Report list. 16.Now, we'll click on the Expansion Load Case, we'll click on the Example One Expansion Report Two, and we'll go ahead and run that. We'll tell the system to display that on the screen, and we'll see what kind of results we come up with. dvs rss Custom Reports Example One - OPE - Report One Example One - EXP - Repott Two 46 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Eight 17. Let's take at look at the results in the report. On node 10, we had for FX: 5,635. For FY: 255. The MZis 3,390. The Code Stress is 579. [Sob Name: EXANPLE_1 Licensed To: CAD TRAINING TECHNOLOGIES, LLC EXAMPLE ONE - EXP - REPORT TVO REPORT case 6 (EXP) Le=Li-t2 code stress weds tb./sq.in. The code had results of 5,640 (we had 5,635) They show 260 (we were at 255). We both came out with 3,390 for MZ. For the Code Stress we both had 579.

So we're well within a 1% range here, a fraction of 1% difference, and they're saying that these come from a variance of unit conversion tolerances. 47 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Eight This was an interesting lesson, and you can see that as you get familiar with this, it gets easier to navigate. In this example, we created a new load case for ourselves, we created a new custom report for it, and we compared our values to those shown here in the code. Another thing to notice is they include values for nodes 30 mid and 40 mid. In our CAESAR II report these would correspond to nodes 29 and 39. So you can compare some of the results that we see in this report against the corresponding nodes in the CAESAR II output report. So great! We covered a lot of ground in this, and in the next video we'll continue on to something new. 43 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 9 1, Now let's take a look at some of the ways CAESAR II can display its results graphically. Click on the 3D Plot button. You'll see toolbars similar to what we saw when we were inputting in the data for the model, plus some new ones. For instance, we can view the graphic output based on the load case. Click on the down arrow by the Load Cases. Select the Operating Load Case. 2. Click on the Deflected Shape button. The system will display how the model will deflect as it expands of reacts to the installed forces and moments. Roll the wheel forward to zoom in. 3. Click the Grow button next to it. The system will show how the line will grow over time as the temperature changes. So we can view how the model changes based on different load conditions. 4. Next to that is a toolbar that can show us the displacement, the maximum in X, Y, and Z. 49 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine Click the Maximum DX button. The system will display where the maximum displacement in X occurs. In order to see it better, Click the Translucent Objects button. We can see the writing come through. That's going to be where the Maximum Displacement in X occurs. The Maximum Displacement in Y occurs at node 40. 5, The toolbar to the right of that is going to display the maximum forces. Click on the Maximum FX button. Pan down and we can see that's going to occur at node 10. Click on the Maximum FY. We can see that's occurring at node 20. Forces in Z won't come into play in this example. 6. Click on the Max MZ button. We can see that occurs at node 50. So we see this gives us is a way to display graphically some of these forces, moments and displacements. 50 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine 7. This next toolbar can be used to display stresses in a line. And it can display these graphically using colors and text. When we talk about stresses in a line, we should be taking a look at it in terms of the expansion load case or the sustained load case. 8. Click on Expansion Load Case 6. Click on the Overstress button. The system says there are no overstressed points in this line. Click it again to turn that off. 9. Click on the Max Stress button. The system shows that occurring at ¥ node 39. Click it again to turn this off. _ —— 10, Click on the Stress Colors by Value button. Click the Translucent Objects button to turn that display mode off. The system now shows these stresses distributed in the line. And we can see that the higher the stresses get, the redder the color is going to get. So along nodes 30, and around to 40 are going to be where these maximum stresses occur. Click the button again to turn these off. 51 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine 14.Click the Stress Colors by Percent button The system shows the higher stress levels are occurring around the elbows. This is displaying the calculated stress (the Code Stress) by percent of the allowable. In this line we're somewhere over 40% but less than 60% of the allowable stress. ‘camaro by eae) a Bese awe Bixoe "Sheet 8 & cone Basiaxe — Bowe com Bene cour Bi sme So this is a great way to see how the stresses are distributed and how close they are getting to the maximum allowed stress. Click the button again to close it. 12, Now welll take a look at the selection options toolbar. Click on the Zoom to selection button (the magnifying glass). Click an object, click one of the components (click the vertical line in this model). The system will zoom in to that area and it will show a split screen. We'll see what's called an Element Viewer screen down toward the bottom. 52 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine eee eee 13.We can select from the different load cases listed on the left. The system displays the different results that have been calculated based on these load cases. So if we look at element 30 to 38 we can see some information on it. CAESAR II would have a node 40 on the comer when it was originally modeled, but when we put a bend there and analyze it, the system shifts node 40 over to this point on the far end of the elbow when it shows its results, The midpoint of the elbow becomes node 39 and the beginning point of the elbow is now node 38. So that's why this element we selected is shown as going from node 30 to 38. 14, Click another object along the way. The system will display results on that. What's nice about using this viewer is that you can get the graphics combined with the output results and it just gives you a really nice way to get an overall view of the model. 53 Copyright® 2014 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine i a | You can click on different parts of the model, use different load cases, view the different reports within those load cases, and see exactly how this is all working out, 15.Close the Element Viewer. 16.Click Options Click View Animation. The system will open another screen. On this screen, we also have the different load cases to select from. Select Operating Load Case 1. 17.Click the Motion button. The system will switch into a single line display mode. It will show the animation of the line expanding as it changes, based on this load case. You can see how ends of the line are fixed, since those are anchored. 54 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Nine Click the Volume Motion button next to it. This is a little bit easier to see on the screen. We have some other options we can do. We can display node numbers, and we can print this out. Click File. Click Print Motion. The system will actually assign it to your printer, and it will also show how the line looks as it expands through its full range of motion. So this is the animation, This is the Reset Plot button. It will reset the plot back to the way it displayed it initially. This screen also has options for viewing the plot different directions and rotating it. To exit this animation screen, you'll just click the x up in the corner, and i'l take you back to the screen where all the reports are. Now you go through this video and your notes, and do each one of these steps and practice this and get familiar with it. And then, as we go on in the later examples, this will be easy for you to use as needed 55 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example One Video 10 1. When you first come into CAESAR II, this is the screen that you see. 2. Click the Home tab. If we wanted to, we could click Open and open up some jobs that we've done in the past, or we can start something new. We. also have links or buttons going across that can take us to other screens. 3. If we click on the piping input, it could take us to the input spreadsheet, where we could begin to model the geometry of our job or modify it. We could model underground piping. If we had checked off the box about structural steel, we could model structural steel shapes in here. There's a catalogue of them that we can use. 4, When we're ready to run the analysis, we could click on one of these two buttons. For this course, it's going to be the static analysis that we'll do for several examples. Later, we could view reports. We could look at the printed reports based on load cases. There's just a wide variety of them here. We can also generate a stress isometric through this area, 5. We could also set the configuration here as well as add new materials. 56 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten 6. Click Configure. The system will open up the configuration screens for us. One of the things that you'll typically do when you go into this 2 configuration screen is you'll take a look at the databases first Configure Materials 7. Click Database Definitions. eee ata rectory: C:\CAESAR I Navigation Course Fes\ Se een Piping Size Specification ANSI Goamety Desctiet Structure Database oe) pera Units Fle Nome ENGUSH FL saecoteneoes Doses User Material Database Fename MATT UND: esis Se paca cele on 8. Click Units File Name. I'm set for English, so I'll be using Imperial Units. But if you had to do a job in millimeters, you can click the down arrow and list the various choices available. “ENGLISH-FIL *DEUTSCHEIL You can see there are units files that are specific to different “BAR FIL countries: a Japanese units file, French, and German. “FRANCE FIL CAESAR II ships with a collection of these, For the work we do | |/*JAPAN FIL in this course, we'll be set to English. *MM-FIL *SLFIL *TUV-FIL 57 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten 9. Another thing to look at is the default spring hanger table. We can see that it's currently set to use the Anvil catalog. If I click the down arrow, we can see there are over 30 of these in here that we could choose from. Expansion Joints Load Case Template Piping Size Specification Structural Database Units File Name User Material Database Filename Valve/Flange Files Location Valves and Flanges ODBC Settings Append re-runs to existing data So if you're working a job where you want to use Lisega for your hangers, you could select that manufacturer from the list and then when you put in a spring hanger, CAESAR II would use their catalog to select from, Expansion Joints can be set in a similar fashion. There are several of those in here that you could choose from as your default choice. 10.For the Valve/Flange listing we have files that we can pull data from. There's a CADWorx file shown that has a collection of valves, and their weights, lengths, and information. So when we place valves into the model, they'll pull data from this file. VHD If we look a little further, we have a screen here where we could set up some information about fiberglass reinforced pipe. lenis Configuration . acti Computational Control 11,Click Geometry Directives, peakeiDoadices Here we set the automatic node numbering increment. FRP Properties Later, when we build our model, our nodes will move in Graphics Settings increments of 10. It's good to have a good increment size here Miscellaneous Options 80 that later, if you decide to modify the model, you can add SIFs and Stresses new geometry between two existing nodes. 58 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten 12. Click Graphics settings. This lets us change the display settings. We'll look at this again later, but this will affect a particular job. If we save this configuration, it's going to be in this fundamentals course files folder. So, all the files that we create in this folder will have these settings When you start CAESAR I for the very first time, you get a screen that comes up about configuration, Whatever settings you change in that gets saved in the system folder as the default configuration. But when we change it later, like I'm doing now, that would go into a particular folder. So, each folder, each job, can have its own configuration file that would be for that group of files, 13.Click Miscellaneous options. Here you can set the automatic save time interval. 14.Click SIFs and Stresses. CAESAR II uses a multiplier of 1 for whatever's in the code. The code we're going to mainly working with his B31.3, That's what these examples will use. So, whatever the code says for the SIF, that's what CAESAR II will use when it does the calculations. Close the screen without saving This is how you would change the configuration on a particular job if needed 59 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten 15.Click on the Analysis tab. When we have our geometry built, we could begin to run the static or dynamic analysis of the model. We have other things that we can do down in here. We can check the stresses on nozzles connected to equipment. This group of buttons is called Outboard Processors, and they are programs that give extensive options for various types of analysis. We can use these to analyze flanges. We can analyze expansion joints and structural steel. These are ways to take a look at the analysis of steam turbines, nozzles on pumps, compressors, different kinds of exchangers and heaters. A lot of things can be interfaced through this screen, and there's more than one way to get to all of this. 16.Click on the Output tab. Here we can look at our reports. Depending upon your model there are static and dynamic reports. We can animate our displacements in our static reports, as well as dynamic. This tab also takes us to running and configuring Stress Isometrics. 60 Copyright® 2014 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten 17.Click Interfaces Here we can interface to some other programs. There are options for AFT Impulse, PIPENET, and others. We also have interfaces to CAD systems including Smart Plant 3D and a really nice interface to CADWorx Plant Professional. Later, in one of our examples, we're going to export a model from CADWorx, open and analyze it in CAESAR, and then if we like, we could send back any changes to CADWorx. It's bi- directional. 18.Click Utilities. Here we have another option to work with materials and modify the configuration We can change the units in a model. If you get a model in one set of units, you want to convert it over, you can use this click right here to do so. We have a link to the System folder. If we click on that, that's where the default configuration file is located. If we scroll drown, we'll find it, and here it will be under CAESAR. cig. So, that's going to be the settings that we did initially when you first loaded in CAESAR I! 61 Copyright® 2014 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example One Video Ten If you modified it for a particular job, and you wanted that to become your default configuration, you could copy your configuration file from your job folder down to this system folder, and then it would be your default configuration. The right in area of this panel is for licensing the hardware lock, and there are some diagnostics that the technical support people can use to help you verify things, if you need assistance for your installation, So, great! We covered quite a few options here. Explore this area in CAESAR II and then we'll continue on to something new. 62 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example Two Video 1 1. In this lesson, we're going to model this line, and this is the second example in the B31.3 Appendix S Piping Code. Fig. $302.1 _Lift-Off Model 3.05 9.15 m_ 9.15 m_ 3.05, 12.2m (30 ft) (30 ft) | m (40 ft) (10 ft) QOOG SB@88H If we look at the geometry of this line, we can see that there is an anchor and a restraint (in the Y direction) on each end of the lime. The line is symmetrical, and there is a +Y restraint in the center of the line at node 50. As this line begins to heat up, we could anticipate that it's going to liftoff (to some extent) from the +Y restraint in the center segment. We'll put this into CAESAR II, analyze it, and we see what kind of results the system generates. 2. Anice thing about this problem is that we can use it to begin to show some other features in CAESAR Il as well. For instance, we'll take the central +Y restraint out, and we'll analyze it and see if it fails. Then we can use that as an opportunity to design a hanger for that location. 63 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example Two Video One 3. So let's get started. |'ll go ahead and toggle over to CAESAR Il, and we'll start a new file. Click New. Type: EXAMPLE_2 for the name. The file will be saved in the CAESAR II Fundamentals Course Files folder. The system is set for Piping Input. Click OK. CAESAR II will display our units. Again, we're going to be in Imperial Units for this. Click OK. Now we can start putting in our piping input. 4, When we read about this problem in Appendix S, it says that it has similar design parameters to Example One, and it's going to use the same materials as the first example. So let's go ahead and start putting that in. 5. In the Diameter field, Type: 16 . Notice the message in the lower area of the screen when you press Enter. CAESAR Ils telling you that it's making some conversions, or entering a more precise value. You may hear a beep to alert you as it makes these modifications. 6.

Ty aan Uronmae 12.We're getting ready to start modeling the geometry of the line. son amaze. Let's take a quick look at it. We can see that our line is going to go in the horizontal direction from nodes 10 over to 30, then it will travel up in the plus Y direction, turn back to horizontal, turn down, and end with a horizontal run. Included in the code is a table that lists the actual distances between the nodes in this model. We'll use that table as we build our CAESAR II model.

We'll analyze this soon, but first let's take a look at some of the other options that we have here in this piping input screen. 2. If you recalll earlier, when we were setting up our screen, we docked the spreadsheet. We held down on the top area of the spreadsheet, and moved the mouse over to the left. When the mouse pointer touched the edge of the toolbars, the spreadsheet snapped into place So you do that now. Hold down the mouse button in the top bar area of the spreadsheet, drag over and touch the left toolbars, then release. Once it's docked, you can minimize it by clicking the small pin in the upper right area of the spreadsheet. This changes it into a tab, which you can click to restore. 3. Now we have a little more room to view the results. The first toolbar we'll take a look at is called the Legends toolbar. These buttons are used to show the different materials, wall thicknesses, pressures and temperatures in the model. ig | 4. Click on the Materials button The system displays the materials in the model. In this example the model shows it is all A106 grade B material. If the material in the model varied, the display would show that. (106)a105 8 255; 0; 102 oz Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example Two Video Two 5. The other buttons display other properties of the line. They will show the Piping Codes, Insulation, Diameters, Wall Thicknesses, Forces, Uniform Loads, Wind and Wave Loads, Temperatures, Pressures, Corrosion, Pipe Density, Fluid Density, and Insulation Density. So this toolbar lets us quickly see the various settings and parameters that make up our piping model. It's a good way to visually check your work. 6. This button displays Line Numbers. If we had a model that had several different line numbers in it, we could see those by different colors 7. These buttons are used to Move Geometry in a model, and reposition the different parts of the model from one location to another. 8. If needed, tum off any button you have active to close the window next to the plot. I'll toggle the fluid density button to reset my screen, and we'll look at some additional display options. 9. This toolbar and button on the left has to do with the plot. Click on the Reset Plot button. This button resets the display to the default plot, showing the first segment as the current element. It also displays the line in the southeast isometric orientation. 10. This button (Reset View) sets the system to regenerate as you add elements to the model. As long as this button is lit, the system will automatically update the plot with each new addition to the model and Zoom Extents. For a large model, this can be something you might want to disable. It will still update as new elements are added, but it will not do a Zoom Extents.

The Lock Graphics button will actually lock the display so it won't try to update itself as new things get added, That might be useful if you have a large model, which you may not want to update each time you a component. You could lock the display, add a number of components, and then later update it yourself with the Reset View button. 12, Next we have an Archive Button. If click on that, it lets us put in a password. Then we can lock our input file so that we're the only ones that can access it. 13. This is the Insert button. It will let us add a new element, either before or after our current element. We will use this command extensively in some videos which follow. 14. This is the Delete Element button. It prompts to verify we want to really delete the current element. I'm going to say no on that. 15, Next is a Break button. Using this, we can insert a new node or multiple nodes when given a number. For example, we can insert nodes from node 10, each a certain distance apart. This could get very useful if you need to modify a model. 7 Lock Graphics Lock the graphics window s0 no graphical updates are perfomed until desired.

This is the Global Coordinates button. Using this we can set node 10 to have a certain XYZ coordinate in the model. If we export this model back out to CADWorx or to SmartPlant 3D, it would come in at the proper coordinates in the CAD model CADWorx has a bidirectional link to and from CAESAR Il, so that we can send a file from CADWorx into CAESAR II for analysis. If the line gets adjusted in CAESAR II, the changes can be sent back cleanly into the CADWorx model and update it, 17. The next button is the Close Loop button. If you click Continue, then enter in two node numbers and click on this button, the system will insert a new element between them. 18, This is the Increment Nodes button. Currently by default CAESAR II has a node increment of 10, which is set in the configuration dialog box. You can set the increment to other values if you like (for instance, 5). However, you definitely want to have a large enough number in here that will allow you to insert additional nodes in a segment if you need to modify a model at a later time. 19. This is the Distance calculation button. You can enter in two nodes, and the system will calculate the distance between them. Find Distance thm For example, let's check the dig and curert node distance between 10 and 120. Nodes When we put those nodes in the 0 T dialog box the system calculated a distance of 120 feet. It will show the diagonal distance, and the distances along the X, Y, and Zaxes.

This button opens the Hanger Design Criteria dialog box. CAESAR I includes a large number of hanger vendors, with a wide variety of hangers available for modeling. Hanger design criteria Edit system-wide hanger The box displays the current settings for the hangers, and you design itera have the option to change these. For instance, hangers will have a load variation of 25%, and the manufacturer is set to Anvil by default 24, The next buttons open up SIF Scratchpad dialog boxes. Looking at one, we can enter a node to see the SIF for that element (a bend, tee, etc.) Using this dialog box, the SIF can eae, be modified and recalculated as needed, based on specific Use bend SIF seratehpad additional information when available 25. This button is the Special Execution Options button. If you need to change some things for your analysis, you can do that in this dialogue box. For instance, the Ambient ‘Temperature can be set as needed here for this particular job (the default setting is found in the Configuration settings), Special execution options Edit special execution options Go ahead and work through some of these viewing options, and get familiar with them, Take a few minutes and experiment with these. It will make it easier for you as you go along with the course, and also when you use CAESAR II professionally. 76 Copyright® 2024 all Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCCAESAR II° Fundamentals - Example Two Video 3 1. The next thing we want to look at is this list button Ustinput Click on the List Input button a ee The system will display a spreadsheet or a table that has the different elements with their distances and other information about the model. 2. Click on row 2 (nodes 15 to 20) and notice how that element highlights in the model. We can see it's currently set for 20 feet. 3. This interface gives us new ways to work with the model. Click in the field where it says 20 feet. Change that to value 100 feet and press . Notice what happens to the model. You'll see it updates the length of that segment. 4, Set that 100 feet back to 20 feet. We don't really want to change it. | just wanted to show you the [tr power of this interface. a 5. On this line we're working on, there's a restraint on node 20. Since this is our current element, the restraint button on the toolbar on the right is highlighted. B Click on the next row (node 30 to 40), the bend button will light up. If | have two lines that form a comer and | don't have a bend there, | can use this interface to add a bend. 6. The same idea can work with other elements. For instance, if I have a sequence of elements and maybe | want to put an anchor or a restraint in them, I can click on the Restraints Restraints button to add it to the model. Using the list and the selection nan wreak ea oics ot tool button, and the toolbar on the right will let you insert other the selected elements kinds of elements similar to the way it was done when we worked with the input spreadsheet. So this is really nice way to work in CAESAR II 7 Copyright® 2024 All Rights Reserved CAD Training Technologies, LLCPipingDesignOnline.com — CAESAR II Example Two Video Three 7. Now along the bottom of the list display are tabs which will show other aspects of the model. For instance, you can see the materials. Click on the Materials tab. And this first row- this A106 grade B is what propagated on down. Click the Bends tab. The system will display information about the location of the bends in the model. Click on the Restraints tab. Now the system will display information about the Anchors and the Y restraints. So you can see, using this list box and its tabs gives us another good way to get an organized, easy to use view of the model. 8. Click on the arrow next to the List button.
