CAESAR II Statics Training: March 14-16, 2017

ECE is holding a 3-day CAESAR II Statics training class at our Houston Training Facility (Map). This training course covers the full extent of static pipe stress analysis using CAESAR II Pipe Stress analysis software.

Day 1

Optimal user interface settings and hidden UI tools.
Best practice configuration settings for greater analysis accuracy.
Learning by analogy and examples to understand code requirements for pipe stress analysis.
Determining the scope of analysis and troubleshooting a problematic design.
Identifying force-based and strain-based loads and rules to apply for redesign.
Understanding how to benefit from CAESAR II’s value propagation.
Editing the material database for custom materials and multi-user capability.
Proper application of each restraint type and lesser known tricks on usage.
Creating a CAESAR II model from scratch using the Classic Piping Input dialog.
Efficiency tips on exporting a CAESAR II model using CADWorx Plant Professional.

Day 2

How to set up static load cases for occasional wind and seismic loads.
Saving a problematic model by understanding common errors and solving them.
Where to focus on analysis reports and quickly determine the next step.
Using the 3D analysis of the deflected shape to counter stress problems.
Setting custom reports to show pertinent data that defines your workflow.
Sharing your results with your client with customized pipeline animations.
Designing for occasional loads such as wave, wind and seismic effectively.
Applying forces and uniform loads for static evaluation of seismic loads.
Using analysis results to automatically build on-size expansion loops.
Modeling closed and open PSV systems for more accurate analysis results.

Day 3

Modeling connecting equipment to produce more accurate analysis results.
Applying a Nozzle Flexure to incorporate nozzle flexibility for more accurate analysis results.
Applying a spring hanger or spring canister to be automatically sized during analysis.
Applying an Expansion Joint using the wizard, and manually building a slip-joint.
Learning the best practice approaches for underground pipe modeling.
Modeling methods for Jacketed pipe, or collinear pipelines.
Modeling methods and data for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Pipe, or GRP / GRE pipelines.
Solving pump nozzle loading issues with API 610 analysis and standalone calculations.
Solving vessel nozzle loading issues with WRC 107/297 Calculations.
