Caesar II is the name of a computer pipe stress finite element program. This program is used to model pipe systems for electric power, petrochemical, and process industries. It is written and maintained by COADE, Houston TX and was first introduced in 1984. The program accommodates standard pipe often referred to by Nominal Pipe Size. Pipe stress analysis is a subset of the field of Stress analysis. Users of the CAESAR II program must determine the specific applicable piping code requirement, i.e. ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.3 or other applicable power or process piping code.
CAESAR II is a comprehensive program for pipe stress analysis. CAESAR II has become a popular program for pipe stress analysis, preferred by many major corporations and engineering firms worldwide.
CAESAR II includes a full range of the latest international piping codes. It provides static and dynamic analysis of pipe and piping systems and evaluates FRP (fiber reinforced plastic); buried piping; wind, wave, and earthquake loading; expansion joints, valves, flanges and pressure vessel nozzles; pipe components; and nozzle flexibilities. The program automatically models structural steel and buried pipe and provides spectrum and time history analysis and automatic spring sizing. CAESAR II includes component databases and an extensive material database with allowable stress data. It also includes a bi-directional link to COADE's CADWorx Plant for process plant design.
The program's interactive capabilities permit rapid evaluation of input and output, a perfect match for the iterative `design and analyze` cycle, and the easy-to-use menu-driven interface makes all the needed options available at the click of the mouse or keystroke. Context-sensitive help provides instant technical assistance. Data values depicted in the help screens are automatically presented in the current set of units to make input easier.
