During this webinar, we will discuss the design and analysis product integration with CADWorx. Learn how CADWorx designers have a direct link to P&ID data inside Plant Professional that helps develop piping models. You will review the necessary steps required to collaborate effectively with your steel detailers and fabricators by exporting and importing basic steelwork models from CADWorx to Structural Analysis and Detailing applications. The intuitive bi-directional links between Intergraph CADWorx, CAESAR II pipe stress and PV Elite vessel analysis programs allow designers and engineers to seamlessly collaborate during the project design stage. You will learn the benefits of such integration and how to successfully complete fast-paced projects with minimal overhead.

Intergraph CAESAR II webinar: Dynamic Piping Analysis in CAESAR II, Part 3: Seismic Analysis of Piping Systems by the Response Spectrum Method - November 29 at 10AM CT

with Dave Diehl, Director of Training, Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions (ICAS)

Seismic analysis by the response spectrum method is a form of modal analysis.  Each system mode of vibration is independently excited by the seismic event and then these modal responses are combined.  This webinar will develop the CAESAR II input required for seismic analysis using the response spectrum method – setting and entering the response spectrum, defining the shock magnitude and direction, and specifying the modal combination method.  Basic dynamic analysis and engineering concepts will be used in developing this input.  CAESAR II dynamic output is quite helpful in confirming the correctness of the model and in diagnosing problems.  This output will be reviewed to highlight these advantages.

Speakers bio: 

David Diehl graduated with a BSME from Lehigh University USA in 1976. Upon graduation he took a post as a technical support representative for Auton Computing in New York City. After four years David relocated to Houston, Texas providing technical support for Auton’s Dynaflex – a mainframe-based piping system analysis program. In 1986, he took a position at Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions (COADE, Inc.) introducing and selling CAESAR II, the world’s first PC-based pipe stress analysis package. While at ICAS Dave earned his Professional Engineering license and served as the product manager for CAESAR II.  He currently is the lead instructor for CAESAR II and manages all training for ICAS. For the last ten years Dave has participated in the B31.3 Section Committee and is a former chairman of the Design Task Group there. He also serves as a Director of SPED – the Society of Piping Engineers and Designers.

CAESAR II Webinar: Smart 3D Interface - August 21 at 10AM CT

with Mandeep Singh, Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions

View the recorded webinar here

 

Unfortunately the barriers between design and analysis departments are both physical and mental. Because of this, information exchange between departments is prone to error or loss, and delays and expensive retrofits can be the result of relevant information not propagated to all stakeholders.
 
This webinar will introduce new capabilities for integration between piping design and analysis in the latest version of CAESAR II^® 2011 R1 (5.31). We will reveal how the stress engineers can save on input time and concentrate on their primary task of solving stress problems by extracting the piping layout directly from the plant model, and do so with full confidence.
 
Once the piping system has been analyzed we will show how it can be quickly sent from CAESAR II to SmartPlant^® 3D and SmartMarine^® 3D (collectively known as Smart 3D) or SmartPlant Review, for comparisons with the original model. We will demonstrate how support  locations and pipe centerlines from the stress model are shown in both the SmartPlant Review and Smart 3D environments, enabling direct and efficient communication between stress analysts, designers and civil/structural engineers.

Intergraph CAESAR II webinar: Customizing drawing styles in I-Configure for stress isometric drawing generation in CAESAR II

 

with Paul Martin, Intergraph

View the recorded webinar here

Stress isometrics produced by CAESAR II are customised using I-Configure, supplied as part of the product. I-Configure simplifies the customization of stress isometrics by making ISOGEN’s vast array of configuration options available in a single, simple to learn and easy to use, graphical user interface. Although CAESAR II users can generate stress isometrics using sample isometric style templates supplied as part of the product, most users will usually wish to configure their own deliverables in accordance with their company standards or project needs.

In this webinar we will focus on how I-Configure can be used to do this and show examples of adding a company drawing border, changing drawing content, modifying graphics definitions and dimensioning options, and positioning project attributes in the title block area.

One of the most widely used means to communicate stress analysis results with others, alongside the analysis data reports themselves, is through the use of stress isometric drawings. When included with the stress analysis reports, stress isometric drawings add tremendously to the effectiveness of information transfer. In this webinar we will focus on the aspects associated with stress isometric drawing generation from a CAESAR II model. We will start off by looking at the default isometric output and expand to review model annotation features, line number filtering, forced split points, etc. Finally we will introduce I-Configure as a tool used to create and configure custom isometric styles. In-depth coverage of I-Configure functionality has been reserved for a separate continuation webinar.
