Dear CAESAR II User,

Enclosed please find the latest version of the CAESAR II Pipe Stress Analysis program, CAESAR II
2011. This package includes a program CD-Rom and associated documentation.

This version of CAESAR II incorporates many new features and technical capabilities. Some of the more
significant changes are listed in the table below (for a complete list of changes, refer to Chapter 1 of the
Quick Reference Guide, or on-line using “\Help\What’s New in 2011”).

• Added a new restraint report “Restraints in Local Element Coordinates”.

• Added the ability to assign line numbers.

• Added Nozzle limits/checks.

• Uniform loads can be either force/length or G’s in the same model.

• Added insulation, cladding, and refractory as separate input items.

• Added B31.9 Code.

• Revised the following piping codes due to code changes: RCCM-C, RCCM-D, ASME-NC, ASME-
ND, GPTC/Z380, Z662, B31.1, B31.3, and EN-13480 (2010 Draft).

The DVD has an Auto-Run feature that should start the installation driver as soon as the CD tray is
closed. The installation of CAESAR II 2011 will create a group on the startup menu for subsequent
access. Additionally a desktop shortcut icon to C2.EXE will be placed on the desktop. Please refer to
Chapter 2 of the Quick Reference Guide for additional details, and the silent install option.

Please be aware that CAESAR II 2011 is not downward compatible with any previous version of the
software. Input files from older versions are upward compatible as always. At release time, the
CADWorx bi-directional link is not yet updated to accommodate CAESAR II 2011. CADWorx models can
be used by CAESAR II 2011, but changes cannot be sent back to CADWorx. An update to CADWorx will
follow shortly.

CAESAR II 2011 like all previous versions of CAESAR II has been tested according to the QA standards
established at Intergraph CAS. Jobs created on earlier versions are compatible with CAESAR II 2011 and
should yield the same results as earlier versions except as noted in the Technical Changes on the next
page.

Regards,

CAESAR II Development Staff

• Added graphics/modeling/Interfacing improvements:


o Improved the Valve/Flange database option to keep 3 elements
o Added the ability to automatically generate Flange “G” values
o Added the ability to specify optional “spring hanger hardware weight”.
o Added the ability to automatically included API-650 nozzle displacement values in the model.
o Added the ability to plot Spectra and Time Histories in dynamics.

o Added line number specification and manipulation.

• Added the ability to add or reassign key strokes.

• Improved the CAESAR II documentation search capabilities by adding a combined PDF Search.
CAESAR II 2011 (Version 5.30) - Technical Changes
The following list details changes to CAESAR II 2011 (Version 5.30), which may affect the numeric results.

• Corrected the refractory weight computation for the Weight No Contents (WNC) load case. (Ver 5.20, 090904
build)

• Corrected the wind load generation according to NBC/UBC. (Ver 5.20, 090904 build)

• Corrected the hanger selection algorithm when mixing both hot and cold load design with the "as designed"
stiffness switch. (Ver 5.20, 090904 build)

• Changed the “combined stress calculation” for B31.8 VIII so that “pipelines” are computed using nominal
dimensions while “platform piping and risers” consider mill tolerance in accordance with a Code Inquiry. (Changed
in Ver 5.20, 100122 build)

• Corrected the SIF computation of EN-13480 reducers (to 1.0) for the "In Plane/Out Plane" method. (Ver 5.20,
100122 build)

• Modified the bend SIF/Flexibility computation for EN-13480 to use the “fitting thickness” if this value is specified.
This change also affects PD-8010 which uses the EN rules for SIF and Flexibility factor values. (Ver 5.20, 100715
build)

• Added EN-13480 2010 code changes. EN-13480 2010 has made a number of changes to the SIF appendices. In
H-1 the SIF for bends is now modified based on whether the bend has 1 or 2 flanged ends. In H-3, the bend
flange modification is included as well as pressure stiffening effects.

• Added B31.3 2008 code changes. B31.3 2008 changed the equations used for the pressure stiffening effects on
bends, in Appendix D for the SIF and flexibility factor values. These terms now depend on the pressure and elastic
modulus of the specific load case.

• Added B31.3 2008 code changes. B31.3 2008 now limits the values of Sc and Sh used in the “expansion stress
allowable” equations when “f” (the cyclic reduction factor) is greater than 1.0.

• Added B31.3 2008 code changes. B31.3 2008 removed the”W” (weld strength reduction) term from the equation
used to determine the Sustained stress allowable.

• Corrected the Z662 expansion code stress calculation when the user sets “FAC” equal to 1.0. There is no
expansion stress for this condition, so the code stress is set to zero. (Ver 5.20, 100715 build)

• Corrected the EN2005 wind computation, changed one of the Zo values (from 0.001 to 0.01).

• For B31.1, footnote 1 (page 9) indicates that pressure variations should be considered in the Expansion cases.
The Configuration Directive “Pressure Variation in Exp Case” has been changed for B31.1 so that “yes” and
“default” apply pressure variations. In previous versions, “default” meant “no”.

• Corrected the elemental insulation weight reduction for hydrotest cases when the configuration is set to “ignore
insulation” in hydrotest cases.

• Corrected the determination of the B31.8 VIII hoop stress allowable (from using Sh to using Sy).

• Corrected the expansion coefficients in the CAESAR II material database for ASME NC and ND materials have
been incorrectly specified since Version 3.24. The database contained the “instantaneous coefficient of
expansion” (Column A of Table TE-1 in Section II Part D) instead of the “mean coefficient of expansion” (Column B
of Table TE-1). (The “instantaneous values” result in more expansion than the mean values for temperatures
greater than 70F and thus should have produced conservative results in most cases.)

CAESAR II Software
CAESAR II is an advanced PC based tool for the engineer who designs or analyzes piping systems. CAESAR II
uses input spreadsheets, on-line help, graphics, and extensive error detection procedures to facilitate timely
operation and solution.

CAESAR II is capable of analyzing large piping models, structural steel models, or combined models, both
statically and dynamically. ASME, B31, WRC, and rotating equipment reports combine to provide the analyst
with a complete description of the piping system’s behavior under the applied loading conditions. Additional
technical 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 the pipe stress engineer with the most advanced

Installing in Silent Mode


In some instances you may need to install CAESAR II without dealing with the dialog boxes, such as a network
installation or a corporate repackaging. To launch the installation in “silent mode”, with no interaction from the
user, perform these steps:
1. Navigate to the CAESAR II subdirectory on the CD.
2. Issue the installation command as detailed below. Typically the ESL_ON_MACHINE and
INSTALL_SILENT options are not necessary.
Command

Cmd= setup.exe /v"/qb PROPERTY_NAME="value" PROPERTY_NAME2="Value""


The /v switch is to pass msi commands
The /qb is a silent switch
Example:

Setup.exe /v"/qb INSTALL_SILENT="Yes" LANG="Eng" ESL_COLOR="Green""


This example installs silent with language English and ESL color green.
Setup.exe /v"/qb INSTALL_SILENT="Yes" LANG="Eng" ESL_COLOR="Red" ESL_ON_MACHINE="Yes""
This example installs silent with ESL color red and ESL install locally.

•INSTALL_SILENT (Is to tell the install it's silent)
·Yes

·No

ESL Installation on a Network


CAESAR II supports two different ESLs, “local” ESLs and “network” ESLs. Both types of ESLs are intended
to be attached to the USB ports of the applicable computers. The local ESLs provide the maximum flexibility in
using the software, because these devices can be moved between computers (such as between desktops and
laptops). If your computer uses a local ESL, you can skip the remainder of this section.

The network ESL must be attached to the USB port of a computer on the network (this can be a workstation or
the file server). The file server is a better location for this ESL, because it will usually be up and running. If the
network ESL is attached to a workstation, the workstation must be running and/or logged onto the network
before anyone can use the software.

In order for the network to recognize the ESL, you must load a utility program must be loaded on the machine
controlling the ESL. The actual utility used depends on whether the ESL is on the file server or a workstation
and the type of network. The drivers for network ESL usage can be found in the sub-directory ASSIDRV
beneath the CAESAR II program directory. The documentation files in this sub-directory contain instructions
for a variety of networks and operating systems.

Novell File Server ESL Installation


If the network ESL is to be located on a Novell file server, the driver HASPSERV.NLM is needed. Copy this
driver to the file server into the top level SYSTEM directory. Then, modify the system startup file
(AUTOEXEC.NCF) to include the command LOAD HASPSERV.

This modification can be accomplished with SYSCON (or equivalent) assuming Supervisor rights.

Novell Workstation ESL Installation


If the network ESL is to be located on a workstation, the driver HASPSERV.EXE is needed. Copy this driver
should to the workstation. The actual location (directory) on the workstation is not important, as long as the
program can be located for startup. Place the command, HASPSERV, in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file of the
workstation, after the commands which load the network drivers. The workstation does not need to be logged in.

Note: The workstation must always be up and running for you to access the software.
2-12 Installation

Windows Server Installation


For a Windows server installation, refer to the documentation files NETHASP.TXT and ESL_RED.TXT found
in the Assidrv subdirectory for network specific instructions.

Network ESLs Notes


There are advantages and disadvantages to using a network ESL. The prime advantage is that many users (up to
the number of licenses) have access (from a variety of computers) to the software on a single server.

The main disadvantage is that users cannot transfer the ESL between machines in order to take the software to a
remote location.

Because both a network and several local ESLs may be initialized on the same system (there is no network-
specific version of the software), it is suggested that only 70 to 80 percent of the licenses be assigned to a
network ESL. The remaining 20 to 30 percent of the licenses should be assigned to local ESLs. This enables the
local ESLs to be moved between computers to run the software at remote locations. Alternatively, if all of the
licenses are on the network ESL, a user must then be logged into the network to access the software. A few local
ESLs provide much greater operating flexibility.

Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting and problem solving issues, refer to the CAESAR II Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
located on the website. To access the CAESAR II FAQ: http://www.coade.com/FAQ/163.

Chapter 3 Technical Information 3-11

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 through the Main Menu,
Configure-setup processor.
 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 # on the bend spreadsheet equal to 0.0 degrees. For
more information see the following figure.
 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.

R – radius of pipe or bend

S a – axial stress

S b – bending stress

S c – cold allowable stress (ambient or reference temperature)

S e – equivalent stress (Von Mises or Tresca)

S h – hot allowable stress

S hoop – hoop stress

S l – longitudinal stress

S lp – longitudinal pressure stress

S s – Tangential Shear Stress

S t – torsion stress

S U = ultimate tensile strength

S y – yield stress

T – temperature derating factor

t n – nominal wall thickness

Ζ – pipe section modulus

α - coefficient of thermal expansion

ν - Poisson’s ratio

Following are the code stress equations for the actual and allowable stresses used by CAESAR II. For the listed
codes, the actual stress is defined by the left hand side of the equation and the allowable stress is defined by the
right hand side. The CAESAR II load case label is also listed after the equation.

Typically, the load case recommendations made by CAESAR II are sufficient for code compliance. However,
CAESAR II does not recommend occasional load cases. Occasional loads are unknown in origin and must be
specified by the user.
