Pipe Stress Analysis Using CAESAR II

---- Course Redesigned----

Learn the latest technology at this hands-on, computer-aided pipe stress analysis course!

Course Description

The seminar covers proper system modeling guidelines, methods of static and dynamic analysis of piping systems, evaluation of system designs, and effective approaches to system redesign.

The course is broken down into half-day sessions, each covering a major topic.

Each of these sessions includes a lecture, or discussion followed by a "hands-on exercise" which reinforces the session topic.

Technical Reference

Course notes, which serve as a technical reference during the seminar, are provided to all attendees.

These seminar notes are always extremely well regarded as an everyday technical resource.

The direct, thoughtful style in which they are written makes it easy to understand even the most technical, complex issues.

From expansion joints and springs to vibration and time-history analysis, the seminar course notes provide a great information resource that you will continue to use long after the course itself.

How the Course Will Help You Personally

You'll learn to analyze problems that, until now, had to be sent outside the company to "specialists".

You'll save time by learning to solve potential pipe stress problems more accurately and more quickly.

You'll save your company money by helping them keep more jobs in-house, provide more accurate cost estimates, and save future re-designs by having a better system from inception.

You'll give your company that all-important competitive edge it needs in today's marketplace.

Our lecturer

David Diehl is Director of Training at Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions in Houston Texas.

At Intergraph, Mr. Diehl brings his over thirty years of experience in pipe stress analysis by training engineers around the world and specifying and testing program improvements to Intergraph's CAESAR II piping analysis program.

Mr. Diehl holds a Professional Engineering license in the State of Texas, sits on the Board of Directors of SPED (Society of Piping Engineers and Designers), and, is a member of ASME B31.3 Process Piping Section Committee.

CAESAR II Training Schedule (3+2)

Statics

Monday AM - Piping Code Basics (Chapter 1)

Lecture introduces CAESAR II and COADE's approach to piping flexibility and stress analysis – calculating stress, failure criteria for different load types, stress limitations, and code stress equations.

Monday PM - Simple Re-Design Workshop (PIPE1)

A group exercise develops a piping model and reviews most of the program's piping input features. The session includes minor output review and system redesign.

Tuesday AM - Design for Piping Loads (Chapter 2,SUPT01)

Lecture with exercise centers on initial layout and support for piping systems by addressing their "primary" and "secondary" loads and the application of code allowable stress

Tuesday PM - Assorted modelling, analysis, and compliance topics (TUTOR)

A group exercise models, analyses and redesigns a problem piping system. Students utilize most of the capabilities of CAESAR II (piping, structural, equipment, nozzles, hangers, and expansion joints) in working with this model.

Wednesday AM - Assorted topics, continued

Wednesday PM - Analysis documentation and static analysis workshop (model generation, system evaluation, system redesign)

The majority of this session is a workshop where attendees work independently to model, analyze and modify a problem using their learned skills in input generation, results evaluation and system redesign.

Dynamics

Thursday AM - Theory of Dynamic Analysis of Systems

A four hour condensation of a graduate level course on dynamics. Topics include the dynamic model, equations of motion, natural frequencies, harmonic analysis, and spectrum analysis.

Thursday PM - Harmonic Load Analysis – Forced Vibration (TDRPMP
A review of the harmonic analysis technique, followed by a workshop solving a harmonic piping problem.

Friday AM -Response Spectrum Analysis – Seismic & Relief Loads

(DIABLO & RELIEF)

A review of spectrum analysis, followed by a workshop where attendees solve an earthquake problem and a relief valve problem.

Friday PM - Time History Analysis – Hammer Loads (SNFAIL)

A review of time history analysis, followed by a workshop where attendees solve a steam hammer problem.
