Piping Stress Analysis - CAESAR II

CAESARII is the de facto standard for CAE piping stress analysis in the industry. It is a very powerful tool, with interface designed for quick data entry and easy manipulation of models, CAESAR II allows for very efficient engineering design. If your company doesn’t have CAESARII licences ready that we can use, our course takes advantage of the freely available evaluation version of the CAESAR. All our exercises have been specially developed to be fully compatible with the evaluation copy. The course provides overview of the piping stress analysis basics and codes. The course is very hands on, with all discussed topics being worked through to help understanding and improve skills of the trainees. Attendees will learn how to build the models, adding restraints, define load cases, run reports, present findings, optimise design find and fix errors.
