This introduction course will primarily involve hands on input modelling and multiple check runs to confirm the stress models are accurate
Over this period of 3 days, the following topics will be introduced at the appropriate section of modelling or analysis for the specific study in hand.
The topics shall include as follows:
- Basic stress theory
- How stress is represented
- Measuring and comparing failure
- Forces, moments and stresses in a system
Navigating the CAESAR II Computer Program ( Part 1)
- The Caesar II main menu
- Understanding the various sub-menus and important tools
- The Plot tools and the Navigation tools
Piping Codes and Standards
- The many different types of codes for pipe stress
Code compliances of a system
- The differences of the sustained, occasional and expansion stresses
- Performing a manual check and calculation for category 1 and 2
- The difference between on-shore piping and offshore platforms
- Discussion on a day to day pipe stress analysis and where do we start.
