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.

 

Navigating the CAESAR II Computer Program ( Part 2)

  • The Caesar II piping static input spreadsheet
  • Auxiliary fields and information required
  • The Caesar II 3D modeller
  • Preparation for a typical pipe stress model

 

Navigating the CAESAR II Computer Program ( Part 3)

  • Building a simple stress file model
  • Developing load cases and performing a typical calculation
  • Flange modelling and leakage evaluation

 

Navigating the CAESAR II Computer Program ( Part 3b)

  • Input procedure for external loads, wind and seismic
  • Adding simple supports, spring hangers and expansion joints

 

Navigating the CAESAR II Computer Program ( Part 3c)

  • Reviewing the static output reports
  • Performing equipment nozzle checks using the analysis menu modules
