Corrected the thermal expansion coefficient and elastic modulus for 1.4462S and
1.4462W.
EN 10216-2:2013 (200,000 hr) materials are now available for CODETI.
Russian materials are available for the B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 codes. The software
references these materials from the User Material Database (UMD) file. For more
information, see User Material Database Filename in the CAESAR II User’s Guide or Online
Help.
B31.4 Chapter XI, formerly B31.11, uses the same materials as B31.4 and B31.4 Chapter
IX.
Improved display of Maximum (FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ) values in the Static Output
Processor graphics. Values display on the applicable From Node or To Node, in centerline
mode, and at the correct structural node (for steel elements).
Configuration
New DirectX 9, DirectX 11, OpenGL2, and CAESAR II Determines video driver options
were added to the Graphics Settings tab in the CAESAR II Configuration Editor. The
Video Driver configuration setting now defaults to CAESAR II Determines, which means
the software intelligently selects the appropriate video driver to use based on your system
settings. In addition, the active video driver now displays on the status bar at the bottom of
the CAESAR II main window.
Piping Input
When you delete pipe elements, the software retains the original nodal coordinates for all
disconnected segments, instead of resetting the starting coordinates of those segments to
the global setting (0,0,0).
Implemented find and replace functionality within the List dialog. You can use the
Find/Replace option on the right-click menu in the List dialog to search and replace data in
a selected column.
Set North Direction replaces Model Rotation in the Advanced PCF Import (APCF) and
Special Execution Parameters dialog boxes. Model Orientation replaces Model Rotation
in the Load S3D/SPR Model dialog box. You can specify the orientation of the Smart 3D or
SmartPlant Review model to be imported. This is useful when you do not use the default
CAESAR II mapping.
Added Previous and Invert options to the Line Numbers dialog box in Classic Piping
Input and Static Output Processor. Previous allows you to save the current view and
return to the previous view. Invert allows you to toggle line number selections.
3D Model/Graphics
Enhanced Options > Axis (formerly Compass ) and Configuration Manager
(Tools > Configure/Setup ) to allow display of a North arrow in Classic Piping Input and
Static Output Processor. The North arrow indicates the North orientation of the plant.
Rotational restraints, such as RX, RY, and RZ, display graphically with rotational arrows.
Updated the software to ensure consistent functionality when using the Delete and
Backspace keys on the 3D model. Now, if you press Delete when you have selected one
more model components, the software deletes the selected elements. The software no
longer performs an action when pressing the Backspace key when you have a model
component selected. (The Backspace key works within the annotation or the move
geometry functions.)
Added a Mill Tolerance icon to the Legends toolbar. In addition, the Mill Tolerance options
was added to the Options menu on the Classic Piping Input and the PlotOptions menu
on the Static Output Processor.
Symbols for restraints display on the outside of the pipe and remain visible when you use
Options > Restraints.
Enhanced the 3D mode so that multiple hangers display separately with leaders at the
location of the hanger when you use Options > Hangers . Previously, the software only
displayed one hanger symbol on a model when you had multiple hangers at the same
location.
Added the Show Fixed option to Options > Displacements to allow the display of fixed
displacement vectors on the 3D model.
Analysis
Updated the ISO 14692 code stress calculations for load cases using the combination
methods (scalar, max, min, etc.). Previously, the software did not use the effective hoop and
axial stress values when calculating the code stress using the combination methods for
SIGNMAX and SIGNMIN.
Redesigned the user interface for the API 610 equipment module to improve
functionality and usability. New features include:
Quick input and viewing of API 610 pumps.
The Load Case Sets tab lets you quickly define load cases and load case sets with
suction and discharge nozzles.
Analysis of multiple load cases and multiple pumps.
Ability to update loads when the results of an imported and linked pipe stress analysis
change.
Comprehensive, easy-to-read output results on the Output tab.
User Interface
The Add to Quick Access Toolbar right-click command allows you to add any ribbon
command to the Quick Access toolbar in the main CAESAR II window.
Integration
Updated the CAESAR II installation wizard to include steps to install the B31J Essentials
product from Paulin Research Group (PRG). B31J Essentials provides a set of calculations
for revised SIFs and flexibility factors, as defined in the upcoming revision to ASME B31J,
Stress Intensification Factors (i-Factors), Flexibility Factors (k-Factors) and their
Determination for Metallic Piping Components. The B31J Essentials product is included with
the latest version of CAESAR II and provides users with the ability to use PRG's FEATools
application to perform the empirical B31J calculations. (CR-TX-20363)
Added a new Length for Nodal Increment field to the Advanced PCF dialog boxes. This
field sets the nodal increment for imported PCF files based on pipe length, which allows you
to add more node increments for longer lengths of pipe.
Documentation/Help
Added more explanation and an example for using the Alternate SUS/OCC option of the
Load Case Editor in the Static Analysis section of the CAESAR II User's Guide.
Revised, reorganized, and added graphics to Tutorial A in the CAESAR II Application Guide.
To provide better clarity, revised the overview and workflow topics for Advanced PCF
Import (APCF) in the Piping Input Reference section of the CAESAR II User's Guide.

Network Installations
The installation program treats a network drive no different than a local hard drive. Specify the
target installation drive and folder, and the software will be copied and expanded accordingly.
Some networks protect installation directories from subsequent modification by users. This
involves setting the access rights to the installation folder to read, share, and scan. Because
Intergraph CAS, Inc. software uses data files specific to the installation (that is, accounting files,
material files, and so forth) that a user may need to modify, these files cannot be installed in a
typical write-protected installation folder.
Therefore, CAESAR II installs these data files in a System subfolder, located in the following
location of your root directory based on your platform.
Windows 7/Vista
\Program Data\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\Version Number\System
Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\Version
Number\System
While the actual name of the program's installation folder can revised when you install the
software, the CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder name is fixed as it is automatically created by
CAESAR II. If you rename the CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder, CAESAR II fails run and
generates an error report.
Do not confuse this CAESAR II SYSTEM subfolder is not the primary, top-level SYSTEM
directory that contains the network operating system. Consult your system administrator for
further clarification.
After the software has been installed on the network drive, the installation program launches the
CAESAR II Configuration Editor, which generates a default configuration file.

above code data.
Restraints
CAESAR II stores information on the following restraints:
Anchor A
Intersection Types
CAESAR II uses the following intersection types:
By default, nodes on the bend curvature cannot be specified within five (5) degrees of one
another or within five degrees of the nearest end point. This and other bend settings may be
changed in the Configuration Editor. Click Configure or Tools > Configure/Setup.
For more information, see Configuration Options (on page 35) and Geometry Directives (on
page 39).
When the FROM node on the element entering the bend is not at the bend NEAR point, a
node may be placed at the NEAR point of the bend by entering an Angle # equal to 0.0
degrees. For more information, see the graphic below.
When defining a bend element for the first time in the pipe spreadsheet, nodes are
automatically placed at the near and midpoint of the bend. The generated midpoint node
number is one less than the TO node number on the element, and the generated near point
node number is two less than the TO node number on the element. A near point should
always be included in the model in tight, highly formed piping systems. The top-left figure
below shows the points on the bend as they would be input. The top-right figure shows the
actual geometric location of the points on the bend. The bottom-left figure shows the same
geometry except that two nodes are defined on the bend curvature at angles of zero and
forty-five degrees.

ISO 14692
ISO 14692 requires that the sum of all hoop stresses (σh, sum) and the sum of all axial stresses
(σa, sum) be evaluated for all states of the piping system. CAESAR II evaluates these stresses for
stress types OPE, SUS, and OCC. If the hoop stress is exceeded, the axial stress is not
reported.

If:
σh,sum ≥ f2A1A2A3σhl(1,1)
