What's New in CAESAR II

The latest CAESAR II release delivers a number of significant new and extended capabilities in
response to current market requirements, as well as direct feedback from the growing CAESAR
II user community. The following changes have been made to CAESAR II:
CAESAR II 2017, Version 9.00
Technical Changes
Please be mindful of the following technical change for this release:
Disabled the Search tab in the Online Help due to an issue when your CAESAR II
installation uses OpenGL drivers. You can change the Graphics Settings >
Miscellaneous Options > Video Driver to Direct 3D in the CAESAR II Configuration
Editor. If you use Direct 3D drivers, you can download a copy of the Help with the Search
tab enabled from Smart Support.
Piping and Equipment Code Updates
Updated the software to the latest ASME B31.4 code standards, which included the ASME
B31.4 2009, B31.4 2012, and B31.4 2016 code.
The update included the following changes and improvements:
Updated materials applicable to the B31.4 code in the Material Database Editor.
Updated the Allowable Stress tab in the Piping Input module by including an
Allowable Stress Indicator option for B31.4 and B31.4 Ch XI and Design Factor and
Hoop Stress options for B31.3 Ch IX.
Deprecated the B31.11 piping code, which is now included in the B31.4 main code
standard.
Provided options for CAESAR II to automatically determine the restrained/unrestrained

state of the pipe elements, or for the user to specify the state. The software defaults to
automatically determining the state.
Added the evaluation of the creep condition using EN-13480 Creep code standards.
The update included the following improvements:
Expanded the Material Database Editor to support EN-1380 Creep by adding material
properties for 200k hours, in addition to existing properties for 100k hours. Refer to the
Technical Discussion on evaluating creep conditions in the Users Guide for more
information.
Added a new Creep (CRP) stress type in the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor. The
software does not include the CRP stress type when it recommends load cases.
Updated the software to support the June 2015 edition of Canadian Z662 and Z662 Chapter
11, the Canadian code for oil and gas pipelines.
Enhanced the software to support the 5th Edition of API-560, February 2016, the equipment
code for fired heaters.
CAESAR II User's Guide

Piping Input/Hanger Support
Added an option to select a new user-defined Custom type for nozzle flexibilities, in addition
to the existing Nozzle Flex types of WRC 297, API 650, and PD 5500. The Custom nozzle
type includes user-defined nozzle stiffness values for Axial (radial force), In-Plane Bending,
Out-of-Plane Bending, and Torsional (moment). Many improvements have also been
made to the Nozzles auxiliary panel layouts to improve usability.
Enhanced the existing right-click context menu options for restraints from within the graphics
view. The Restraint > Insert Restraint option lets you right-click an element to break and
insert restraints in one action, or you can or insert restraints at existing nodes. From the new
Insert Restraint dialog, you can also define restraint options, such as distance from nodes.
Improved the Break at Element dialog box (accessed by selecting Model > Break or rightclicking and selecting Element > Break Element). The software now automatically
populates the Insert Single Node option to the halfway-point node number and distance. If
there is not an available halfway-point node number, the software defaults the to the next
available node number.
The Displacements grid displays free and fixed designations to eliminate confusion. The
Fix DOFs option applies the fixed value of 0.0 to any undefined (free) degree of freedom.
Load Case Editor
Updated the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor by adding the ability to copy and paste
complete load cases.
Enhanced the editor to allow the selection of multiple load cases in List view and retain the
selection when you switch to Group Edit view.
Added a new Creep (CRP) stress type in the Static Analysis Load Case Editor.
3D Model/Graphics
Node numbers display in front of piping elements when you use Options > Node Numbers
and rotate graphics. Previously, the node numbers rotated with the elements and were
sometimes obscured by piping elements.
Symbols for LIM restraints (axial limit stops) display on the outside of the pipe and remain
visible when you use Options > Restraints
.
Added a symbol for zero-length expansion joints on the model.
Displacements on CNodes display graphically as arrows with Options > Displacements

.
Displacements, rotations, forces, and moments display graphically as arrows (vectors) when
you select Options > Displacements
or Options > Forces
. You can also change
the default colors and arrow sizes in the Graphics Settings of the Configuration Editor or
by using Plot Properties .
User Interface
Added a news channel on the CAESAR II main window, where you can find out product
version information, upcoming events, product training opportunities, and future webinars.
Enhanced the Distance dialog box for better usability. When you choose Origin and
Selected Element as your Measure Method, the Distance dialog box retains the selected
Measure Method option for the duration of your use of the Distance dialog box.

Integration
Combined the individual flexible nozzle input export options into a single Flexible Nozzles
option on the Data Export Wizard to improve usability.
Improved integration with Smart 3D by adding a new LCASE_NAME column to files

exported to Microsoft Access through the Data Export Wizard (ODBC). When you export to
.mdb format, you can now see the Load Case Name (LCASE_NAME column) in applicable
exported files for quick identification of your load cases.
Documentation/Help
Updated Restraints in the Piping Input Reference section of the CAESAR II User's Guide.
Each restraint type includes a graphic example to assist identification.
Improved the Global Coordinates section of the CAESAR II User's Guide. The user's guide
now references local coordinates as a, b, c to reduce confusion between local and global
coordinates.
Updated the Hinged Joint section of the CAESAR II Application Guide. Updated the Hinged
Joint Model graphics to include all of the necessary components to model a hinged joint.
Added navigation information, such as the location on ribbons and menus, to command
topics to aid discovery when browsing the help.
Updated portions of the user documentation to the latest Intergraph PP&M standards for
formats, which included adding more white space and indentation for field property formats.
Converted the CAESAR II 2017 readme document to .pdf format to comply with the latest
Intergraph PP&M standards.
Updated the software to call the main CAESAR II Help file (C2ug.chm) when you press F1 in
Equipment and Auxiliary modules. Previously, these modules displayed in a text-based
help dialog box.
SECTION 1
Overview
The CAESAR II Quick Reference Guide helps you quickly identify needed information, answer
common questions, and resolve common problems. You can copy it as needed.
CAESAR II is an advanced tool for designing and analyzing piping systems using input forms,
on-line help, graphics, and extensive error detection.
CAESAR II statically and dynamically analyzes large piping models, structural steel models, or
combined models. ASME, B31, WRC, and rotating equipment reports are created to provide a
complete description of piping system behavior under applied loading conditions. Additional
capabilities, such as out-of-core solvers, force spectrum analysis (for water hammer and relief
valve solutions), time history, and large rotation rod hangers provide you with the most
advanced computer-based piping program available today.
CAESAR II is continuously enhanced to add new functionality and to modify existing procedures
as piping codes are updated. For more information on the most recent changes to CAESAR II,
see What's New in CAESAR II (on page 6).

SECTION 2
Licensing
CAESAR II supports the following types of licensing:
Local External Software Lock (ESL)

Hardware-based licensing using a green USB dongle. A local ESL can be moved
between computers (such as between desktops and laptops).
Network External Software Lock (ESL)

Hardware-based licensing using a red USB dongle. A network ESL is installed on a
computer that is network accessible from the computer, or multiple computers, running
CAESAR II.
License Manager
Software-based licensing using SmartPlant License Manager (SPLM). For more
information, see SmartPlant License Manager Installation (on page 16). Refer to the
SmartPlant License Manager documentation for complete installation and configuration
instructions.
External Software Lock (ESL) Keys

The External Software Lock (ESL) is the security protection method used by Intergraph CAS,
Inc. The software cannot execute unless an appropriate ESL (green or red USB key) is
connected locally to the computer, or to another computer in the network (red USB key).
The ESL contains the CAESAR II licensing data, and other client-specific information. This
information includes the client company name and user ID number. Additional data may be
stored on the ESL depending on the specific program and the specific client.
There are two different ESL types, local and network. Both types of ESLs are intended to be
attached to the USB ports of the applicable computers. The appropriate ESL(s) are shipped with
your product according to the licensing type purchase.
Local ESLs provide the maximum flexibility in using the software in that they can be moved
between computers (for example, between desktops and laptops).
Network ESLs must be attached to a computer on the network, either a computer or the
server. In order for the network to respond to software requests for the ESL, the NetHASP
License Manager utility must also be running on the computer where the network ESL is
attached.
The HASP drivers for ESL usage can be found in the sub-directory, ASSIDRV, beneath the
analysis products program directory. However, for CADWorx the HASP drivers for ESL usage
can be found in the sub-directory, Utilities. The documentation files in this sub-directory contain
instructions for a variety of networks and operating systems. Note that there are periodic
updates to these ESL drivers and they can be downloaded from the Intergraph Smart Support
(https://smartsupport.intergraph.com) website.
Do not connect two locks to the same computer. The software finds the first lock and
returns its code. For example, you have a lock for CAESAR II and CADWorx and plug both into
the same computer. You start CAESAR II, but the software might find the CADWorx lock first
12
Licensing
and return an error. If the same computer is going to run more than one Intergraph CAS, Inc.
product, then contact Intergraph CAS by sending an email to
icaslicenserequests@intergraph.com to request that both products be licensed from the same
lock.
ESL Installation
The following topics explain how to install the different hardware locks supported by CAESAR II.
What do you want to do?
Install a local lock (on page 13)
Install a network lock (on page 13)
Install a local lock

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. If you are installing CAESAR II, PV Elite, or TANK, navigate to c:\Program Files\Intergraph
CAS\Product\Assidrv and double-click HASPUserSetup.exe.
-ORIf you are installing CADWorx, navigate to C:\CADWorx Version\Utilities and double-click
HaspHLDriverSetup.exe
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.
Install a network lock

The following list details general information about Legacy HASP network (red) ESLs.
If you are using an SRM/LDK network (red) ESL, refer to Managing SRM Network Licenses.
The red network ESL should be set up by a Network Administrator or someone familiar with
Windows-based networks. If you are not familiar with concepts such as network protocols,
broadcast, IP addresses, TCP, UDP, and Windows Services, please do not attempt to setup
the red network ESL.
The red network ESL does not have to be attached to the network server. We recommend
attaching the red network ESL to a computer that is always up and running, can be
re-booted without impact to users, and is not the primary computer for any user on the
network.
If you install an Intergraph CAS product on a network drive for multiple users to access,
assign read/write privileges for all users to the [Product Folder]\System folder. Intergraph
CAS applications write temporary files to the [Product Folder]\System folder that pertains to
the installation. The [Product Folder]\System folder also needs to have read/write privileges
for all users.
13
Licensing
If you are using other network protocols, such as NetBIOS or IPX, check the SafeNet web
site for instructions. The only protocol tested with Intergraph CAS products is TCP/IP.
The information provided in the analysis products Help file is a supplement to the NetHasp
User's Guide, which is delivered as a PDF(_NETHASP.pdf) in Assidrv folder. CADWorx
delivers this _NETHASP.pdf in the Utilities folder. Review the PDF file for any issues not
addressed in the Help file.
Notes on Network ESLs

A network ESL has advantages and disadvantages. One big advantage is that many client
computers can access the software from a single server. Additional points for consideration are
listed below.
Depending on the number of licenses allowed by the network ESL, some users may receive
error messages when attempting to access the software. For example, if the ESL has been
configured to allow four simultaneous users, an error message stating that no licenses are
available when the fifth user attempts to access the software. Consequently, the fifth user is
not able to access the software until one of the first four users exits the software and
releases a license.
Because of the communication procedures between the client computer and the file server,
memory access to the network ESL is much slower than to a local ESL. This access time
delay only occurs when the software is first started after installation.
Because there is no network specific version of the software, the software looks first for a
local ESL, and then for a network ESL. This allows both a network ESL and several local
ESLs to be used on the same system. This transparent ESL access procedure allows a
single version of the software to be used on the network and on remote computers.
We recommend that only 70 to 80 percent of the required licenses be assigned to a network

ESL, with the remaining 20 to 30 percent assigned to local ESLs. This enables the local ESL
to be moved between computers. If all of the licenses are on the network ESL, a user must
be logged into the network to access the software. As such, a few local ESLs provide much
greater operating flexibility.
NetHASP License Manager / NETHASP.INI Instructions

You must have Administrator privileges to perform the following procedure.
1. Attach the red network hardware lock to the parallel port or USB port of the computer.
2. On the computer where the hardware lock is attached, navigate to the analysis products'
Assidrv folder, and then double-click Lmsetup.exe. For CADWorx, navigate to the [Product
Folder]\Utilities to access LMsetup.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
NetHASP License Manager as a service.
3. The NetHasp License Manager starts automatically each time you re-boot the computer.
This occurs because the NetHasp License Manager is set up as a start up service inside
Windows 7/8. To verify that the service is running, click Start > Control Manager >
Administrative Services, and then double-click Services. In the Services dialog box,
locate HASP Loader in the Name list. The HASP Loader Service starts even if no one logs
into the computer.
4. Determine what protocols the NetHasp License Manager is listening to. The NetHasp
License Manager displays a message similar to those list below:
14
Licensing
Server is listening to IPX : Loaded
Server is listening to TCP/IP : Loaded
Server is listening to NetBIOS : Loaded
Loaded means that this protocol is active on the computer.
5. Open the Activity Log menu. This displays the activity log that confirms which protocols are
loaded. Do not be alarmed if the activity log reports that the NHSRV.ini file is not found.
6. Use the box in the top-left corner of the activity log to display only the information specific to
each protocol. Open the activity log for the protocol you want to use, and verify that it
contains no error messages.
7. For TCP/IP protocol, the activity log should report something similar to the following:
Server IP address: 111.111.111.111
Server Host Name: PDC_NT01
8. To speed up response time to the network key, use the Remove menu to unload any
protocols that you are not planning to use with the NetHasp License Manager.
Modify NetHASP.ini for TCP/IP Protocol

If you still cannot access the network ESL you need to configure this
NetHASP.ini file. You must know the IP address of the computer where the red network
hardware lock is attached. All lines with a semi-colon at the start are considered not used.
1. Modify the NetHASP.ini file, located in the analysis products' Assidrv folder and in
CADWorx's Utilities folder under [NH_COMMON], as follows:
a. NH_TCPIP = Enabled
AND under [NH_TCPIP]

Troubleshooting Network Locks

1. Verify that the NetHasp License Manager is running on the computer where the red network
ESL is attached.
2. Verify the protocols that NetHasp License Manager is broadcasting. Make sure that these
protocols are installed on the client computers.
3. Install and run the Monitor Utility. You can find the NetHASPMonitorSetup.exe located in the
analysis products' Assidrv folder. For CADWorx, you can find the
NetHASPMonitorSetup.exe in the [Product Folder]\Utilities. If NetHASP Monitor cannot find
the red network ESL, then CAESAR II cannot find the red network ESL.
SmartPlant License Manager Installation

Before beginning the product installation, refer to the delivered SmartPlant License Manager
readme file for the latest product installation updates. The readme file is delivered in the top
level product folder of the product media. Be sure you have the latest version of the SmartPlant
License Manager software before beginning the installation. If you do not have the latest version
of the software, you can install it using http://ppmapps.intergraph.com/elicense
(http://ppmapps.intergraph.com/elicense).
SmartPlant License Manager 2010 (v11) can be upgraded to SmartPlant License
Manager 2012 (v12). Any existing license key will be invalidated after the upgrade to SmartPlant
License Manager 2012 (v12). You will also need to generate a new computer ID and request a
new key. If you upgrade the SmartPlant License Manager 2010 (v11) license computer to a
SmartPlant License Manager 2012 (v12) client by mistake, you will have to un-install the
SmartPlant License Manager client and reinstall SmartPlant License Manager 2012 (v12)
license computer.
Hardware Configurations
The SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer software should be installed on a stable,
single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC), with a static IP address, because
license key installation and license seat usage authentication depends on the information
gathered from the physical hardware. Any automated changes that cause the hardware
information not to match with the information used to generate the license key will result in a
failure of the authentication process.
Virtual (including VMware), shadowed, mirrored, dynamic, or distributed hardware
configurations cannot be used as a SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer. This
includes terminal (application) servers, networked and distributed storage management
systems, and so forth. When these specialized systems occur in the user's network, the
SmartPlant License Manager Server licensing computer should be installed on a separate
dedicated hardware configuration system. The SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer
should be situated on the user's network where it can be accessed by all systems that are
running application software that relies on the SmartPlant License Manager licensing computer
for license management.
Multiple SmartPlant License Manager licensing computers can be used in the user's network as
long as each system is a unique hardware system/installation. If SmartPlant License Manager
licensing computers are cloned after the license key has been installed, then the license
management will fail on the cloned system. Each SmartPlant License Manager licensing
computer requires its own unique license key.
16
Licensing
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) and SAN (storage area networks) are not
supported on a SmartPlant License Manager license computer.
The license computer must have the same version (or later) of SmartPlant License Manager
installed as any client computers. In other words, you cannot use a newer version on a client
computer to retrieve a license from an older version of SmartPlant License Manager on the
licensing computer. The license computer must have the same version (or a newer version)
installed than the clients.
You must log in as Administrator to install this software.
1. Insert the Intergraph SmartPlant License Manager media. If the media does not start
automatically, double-click Setup.exe in the root folder of the media.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Refer to the SmartPlant License Manager FAQ on the web in the Intergraph Smart Support
system for the most current FAQ. It is continually updated. Click
https://smartsupport.intergraph.com (https://smartsupport.intergraph.com) and select Services >
Download Software Updates > Products > SPLM.
Will providing the Machine ID make my computer less secure?
No. The Machine ID allows the license manager to uniquely identify your computer from a
collection of hardware and software identifiers without explicitly publishing your computer's
TCPIP address. Because the computer identifier cannot be used like a TCPIP address, it is
actually more secure than publishing your computer's TCPIP address.
Where can I find SmartPlant License Manager and other products to download?
SmartPlant License Manager is available from the following web page:
Intergraph Smart Support Online (https://smartsupport.intergraph.com)
Select Services > Download Software Updates > Products > SPLM.
You do not need a serial number to install SmartPlant License Manager.
Can I divide the licenses for one LAN into several license computers for the purpose of
managing project access, for example, or as coverage in the event that my license
computer goes down?
Yes, you can divide the licenses.
What happens if I install the new license key prior to expiration of the old license key?
The new license will overwrite the existing key independent of the expiration date.
Is my existing key still running if I regenerate the Machine ID?
Yes, but you will not be able to reinstall the old key. You will need to request a new key for
the new machine identifier.

Do I have to request a software upgrade from my local office before requesting a license?
No, you can request licenses without upgrading the software. If you are upgrading software,
you must request the upgrade before you request licenses. A license request does not
include a software upgrade and a software upgrade does not include a license request.

Licensing
General Topics FAQ

What is a license machine?
The license machine is the computer where the license key is loaded; it can be a standard
computer or a server. The license key tells the license machine how many licenses it can
issue. Clients of a license machine are computers where SmartPlant License Manager is
installed and pointing to the license machine. The computer where you start the software
(for example, PDS or SmartPlant P&ID) asks the license machine for a license. If a license
is available, the license machine provides it. If all licenses are in use, the client is not
granted a license.
How can I tell what version of SPLM was used in the Machine ID or license key file?
Please check the starting number in your Machine ID or license key. See the table below.
Version
Machine ID starts with
License key starts with
2012 (v12)
2010 (v11)
2008 (v10)
Do I have to have one license computer for each LAN?

No, your configuration is entirely up to you. A persistent network connection is required if
you want to connect to a license server that belongs to a different LAN.
Can I make an educated guess at my installation date?
Yes. Intergraph provides a key within 48 hours of receipt of your request (via mail or phone).
Please ensure that the date you request is the actual date that you install the key, making
sure that all necessary software is available and loaded before that date. We request that
you notify us as early as possible.
What happens if my license machine goes down?
You are unable to check out licenses from this machine until it is back in use. Processes
that already have licenses checked out are not affected by the fact that the license computer
is unavailable.
It is possible in critical situations to request emergency licenses from Intergraph. They are
installed on the client computer rather than a licensing machine. Contact Intergraph Support
at 1-800-766-7701 or your local Intergraph office for more information.
What happens if the license machine is rebooted in the middle of my design session?
Nothing. Licensing does not depend on maintaining a continuous communication link to the
license computer.
What happens if my local computer goes down after I've obtained a license?
If the scavenger cannot contact the client computer during scavenging, the license is
marked for a 16-hour hold before it is released. The scavenger periodically advances this
16-hour timer for each license. It is important to schedule the scavenger to run regularly, at
least every hour or two. If the client is in contact sooner, the hold is voided and normal
scavenging takes over.
20
Licensing
I am running out of licenses earlier than I believe I should be. How can I troubleshoot to
understand what is happening?
Have your users click Scavenge for Keys on the Scavenge Options dialog box or you can
type pdlice -n in a Command Prompt window.
If you think that client nodes are improperly holding onto licenses, examine the results of the
pdlice -M command. This shows you which client nodes have licenses checked out. If a
client computer has no plant design-related activity and it is still holding licenses, rebooting
that client and then scavenging from the license computer may free some licenses.
If possible, find out what was processing when the job stopped. This information can help
you and/or Intergraph determine the underlying cause of the termination. Save the output of
any scavenging process that returns a license. This information provides the reasons why
the license was returned. The output of the scavenger includes the following information:
nodename, product tag, batch mode (Yes/No), process ID, and checkout time.
What do I type to see the number of licenses?
Click Show Key Status from the Display Options dialog box to show the status of your
keys.
How can I tell who is using a license?
Click Display Status of Reserved License on the Display Options dialog box or in the
license log file.
We installed a key for three licenses, but we can operate only two licenses at the same
time. Why?
There can be several reasons.
Click Display Status of Reserved License on the Display Options dialog box to
determine the number of licenses that your key contains.
Click Scavenge for Keys on the Scavenge Options dialog box to scavenge for the third
license that you are unable to use.
Verify that clients and servers can telnet to each other. Look for anomalies such as two
nodes on the network with the same name or the reuse of an old name for a new computer,
but with some traces of the old computer still existing in files on the network.
When an application is on a computer that is disconnected from the network without
exiting the product, how long is the license held?
16 hours.
How long would a daily license last?
Daily license expires after 12 hours.

SECTION 3
Using the SmartPlant License Checkout

Utility
The SmartPlant License Checkout utility (License Checkout Utility.exe) allows you to obtain
licenses for SmartPlant products for use on a non-networked computer (for example, a remote
laptop). Each user on a server can check out an individual license on that machine.
When you check out a license, the license and expiration information are stored on your local
machine, separate from another user's license and expiration information. A license is available
only for the user that checks out the license. Each time you start the product during the checkout
period, a message displays the expiration date for the checked-out license.
When the checkout period for the license expires, the SmartPlant product attempts to request a
license using SmartPlant License Manager the next time you start the product. For example,
after the license expires at 11:59 PM on the expiration date, the next time you start the product,
it attempts to access the SmartPlant License Manager license machine for base and module
licenses prior to running.
You must install and configure SmartPlant License Manager before checking out a license.
You must have administrator privileges to setup and install the utility.
Install SmartPlant License Checkout Utility

1. Insert the product CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the installation does not start automatically,
double-click setup.exe in the main folder.
2. Click SmartPlant License Checkout Utility.
3. Type your name and company name.
4. Verify your name and company name, then click Next.
5. Click Display to read and accept the license agreement, and then click Yes.
You must have a PDF reader to view the license agreement.
6. Specify the destination folder.
7. Review your settings, and then click Next.
8. Click Install to start the installation process.
9. Click Finish.
You can uninstall the License Checkout utility at any time, even if you are currently
running a product in remote license mode.
22
Using the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility

If you are running on the MS Windows Vista operating system, the License Checkout Utility and
SmartPlant Review executables must be given Administrator privileges to successfully
checkout a license in a Windows VISTA (with User Account Control (UAC) Enabled)
environment. See Assigning Administrator Privileges (Windows VISTA with UAC Enabled) in the
SmartPlant License Manager Checkout Utility guide.
License Checkout Utility Dialog Box

Allows you to select the product for which you want to check out a license.
Product - Displays the installed products available for license checkout. Select the product for
which you want to check out licenses.
Modules - Displays the modules available with your product. A grayed-out entry means that
module is not installed on your workstation. If no modules appear in the list, either your product
contains no supported modules, or no modules have been installed. Check the box beside the
module for which you want to check out a license. If you want to check out only the base
product, do not check any of the modules.
Duration - Specify the number of days that you want to check out a license. Remember that
after licenses are checked out, they cannot be checked in before the license period expires.
When the checkout period for the license expires, the product returns to normal, connected
licensing using SmartPlant License Manager the next time you start the product.
23
Using the SmartPlant License Checkout Utility
Check Out a License

1. Make sure SmartPlant License Manager (SPLM) is set up on your computer.
2. Click Start > Programs > Intergraph SmartPlant License Checkout Utility > License
Checkout Utility.
License Checkout Utility Dialog Box (on page 23)
3. In the Application Group list, select your product.
4. In the Available Modules list, select the module to use.
5. If required, select an expiration from the License Expiration list, and then click Check Out.
The minimum length of time you can have a license checked out is for approximately 24 hours.
You can cut this time down to approximately 12 hours if you check out the license just before
mid-day. For product-specific check out information, refer to the installation guide provided with
your product.
Each time you start CAESAR II while using remote license mode, the software displays a
message informing you when the checked out licenses expire. The first time that you run
CAESAR II after the checked out licenses expire, the software displays a message informing
you that the checked out licenses have expired and that the software is reverting to the standard
connected license mode and attempting to get licenses from SmartPlant License Manager.
When running in remote license mode, you cannot use setup to modify the product
installation until the following conditions are met:
The checkout duration expires.
The system is working with SmartPlant License Manager in connected license mode
once again.
In other words, you cannot install or remove modules while running in remote license mode.
If CAESAR II is running in remote license mode but is unable to confirm for any reason that
it is running in that mode, CAESAR II automatically returns to connected license mode and
attempts to obtain the licenses from SmartPlant License Manager. CAESAR II notifies you if
it is unable to obtain licenses from SmartPlant License Manager.

Network Installations
The installation program treats a network drive no different than a local hard drive. Specify the
target installation drive and folder, and the software will be copied and expanded accordingly.
Some networks protect installation directories from subsequent modification by users. This
involves setting the access rights to the installation folder to read, share, and scan. Because
Intergraph CAS, Inc. software uses data files specific to the installation (that is, accounting files,
material files, and so forth) that a user may need to modify, these files cannot be installed in a
typical write-protected installation folder.
Therefore, CAESAR II installs these data files in a System subfolder, located in the following
location of your root directory based on your platform.
Windows 7/Vista
\Program Data\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\Version Number\System
Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\Version
Number\System
While the actual name of the program's installation folder can revised when you install the
software, the CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder name is fixed as it is automatically created by
CAESAR II. If you rename the CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder, CAESAR II fails run and
generates an error report.
Do not confuse this CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder is not the primary, top-level SYSTEM
directory that contains the network operating system. Consult your system administrator for
further clarification.
After the software has been installed on the network drive, the installation program launches the
CAESAR II Configuration Editor, which generates a default configuration file.

Node Locations on Bends

Bends are defined by the element entering the bend and the element leaving the bend. The
actual bend curvature is always physically at the TO end of the element entering the bend.
The element leaving a bend must appear immediately after the element defining (entering)
the bend.
The default bend radius is 1.5 times the pipe nominal OD.
For stress and displacement output, the TO node of the element entering the bend is
located geometrically at the FAR point on the bend. The FAR point is at the weld line of the
bend and adjacent to the straight element leaving the bend.
The NEAR point on the bend is at the weld line of the bend and adjacent to the straight
element entering the bend.
The FROM point on the element is located at the NEAR point of the bend if the total length
of the element as specified in the DX, DY and DZ fields is equal to:
Radius tan( Beta / 2 )
where Beta is the bend angle and Radius is the bend radius of curvature to the bend
centerline.
Nodes defined in the Angle # and Node # fields are placed at the given angle on the bend
curvature. The angle starts with zero degrees at the NEAR point on the bend and goes to
Beta degrees at the FAR point of the bend.
Angles are always entered in degrees.

By default, nodes on the bend curvature cannot be specified within five (5) degrees of one
another or within five degrees of the nearest end point. This and other bend settings may be
changed in the Configuration Editor. Click Configure
or Tools > Configure/Setup.
For more information, see Configuration Options (on page 38) and Geometry Directives (on
page 41).
When the FROM node on the element entering the bend is not at the bend NEAR point, a
node may be placed at the NEAR point of the bend by entering an Angle # equal to 0.0
degrees. For more information, see the graphic below.
52
When defining a bend element for the first time in the pipe spreadsheet, nodes are
automatically placed at the near and midpoint of the bend. The generated midpoint node
number is one less than the TO node number on the element, and the generated near point
node number is two less than the TO node number on the element. A near point should
always be included in the model in tight, highly formed piping systems. The top-left figure
below shows the points on the bend as they would be input. The top-right figure shows the
actual geometric location of the points on the bend. The bottom-left figure shows the same
geometry except that two nodes are defined on the bend curvature at angles of zero and
forty-five degrees.

main CAESAR II window.

Code Stresses
US Code Stresses
The US code-based stress equations and load case labels used by CAESAR II for actual and
allowable stresses are shown below.
The load case recommendations made by CAESAR II are usually sufficient for code
compliance. CAESAR II does not recommend occasional load cases. Occasional loads are
unknown in origin and you must specify them.
