Intergraph CAESAR II webinar: CAESAR II Stress Isometric Generation Basics, May 22 at 10AM

with Dominik Hepp, Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions

Date: May 22, 2012
Time: 10:00AM CT  click here for your local time
Duration: 30 min
Cost: free eSeminar 

View the webinar recording here

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.

Speaker bio: 
Dominik Hepp joined the Intergraph CADWorx and Analysis Solutions (Intergraph CAS) group in August 2011. His responsibilities include providing end-user technical support, product testing, and training/presentation support for the CADWorx Plant Design Suite, CAESAR II, and product integration.

CAU Express a Global Success with 849 Attendees

Intergraph CAU Express Events Attracts Over 849 Attendees in Four Weeks!

ICAS takes CADWorx & Analysis University (CAU) on the road, with CAU Express, and boosts CAU annual end-user attendance by almost 700%.

CAU is a two-day, in-depth training event that takes place each fall in Houston, Texas, covering the ICAS products: CADWorx, CAESAR II and PV Elite. CAU has always been enthusiastically embraced by our users, but because of its location it has been a very US-centric affair with only modest attendance from outside the Americas.

Making CAU Global
For CAU we had always attempted to recruit attendees from overseas, but for many engineers, designers, and their companies, the cost of travelling to these events made attendance difficult. That is why this year, instead of specifically attempting to recruit attendees from overseas, we decided to take CAU Express on the road to those regions with a strong ICAS user base.

What is CAU Express?
CAU Express is a value-priced, single-day event that showcases a selection of both new and highly regarded classes from our annual two-day CAU event.

Each stop kicked off with a keynote on “Enhancing Productivity Through Collaboration” by Rick Allen, senior vice president PP&M, and president of ICAS. After the keynote delegates each attended 4 x 90 minute classes for their chosen product track or field of interest. Each day ended with roundtable discussions on the products and an evening reception.

Some locations also included SmartPlant 2D solution tracks, given by local distributors and Intergraph offices.

Where was CAU Express held this year?
March 22^nd Johannesburg, South Africa, Chempute, Attendees: 75
March 26^th Dubai, UAE, Image Grafix. Attendees: 95
March 28^th and 30^th Mumbai and Chennai, India, KLG Systel. Attendees: 170
April 25^th Yokohama, Japan, Intergraph Japan, 87
April 27^th Beijing, China, AECSoft. Attendees: 237
April 30^th  Seoul, Korea, Intergraph Korea. Attendees: 106
May 2^nd Singapore, IOCS Asia. Attendees: 79

A total of 849 end-user attendees

Interesting fact: the largest classes were in China for CAESAR II, with 135 attendees!

What attendees have said

Your event yesterday was fulfilling and truly rewarding. It’s so great to have Mr. Dave Diehl and your team supporting us technically. I look forward to the next CAU express.

Darwin Santiago, Mechanical/Piping, Penspen International Ltd., Dubai, UAE

My sincere thanks to you all for hosting CAU EXPRESS in Mumbai. It was indeed a memorable day for us. I appreciate the efforts put in by you all for making this event successful. Last but not least: Please conduct CAU in Mumbai every year!!!!!!!

Deputy Chief Engineer, Pipe Stress, Mott McDonalds, Mumbai, India

Those that made it happen…
We could not have pulled this off without the help of our local partners. A special thanks goes to the ICAS session instructors that were on the road for two separate two-week blocks over a seven week period, delivering quality until the last delegate left. These valiant souls were: Richard Ay and Dave Diehl, CAESAR II; Sonia Delgadillo, CADWorx; and Luis Sanjuan, PV Elite (this was his first business trip with ICAS since joining 3 years ago). Also ICAS Regional Managers, Rob Herrington (IME) and Chris Schiller (APAC).

A special mention to the ICAS marketing team: Elvira Ballard and Alex Timofeyev for globally promoting CAU Express and closely working with our local partners. Also we want thank Kelly Montgomery and Eileen Tan for their help in making the APAC stops such a success.

Note: CAU2012 will be held September 24-25, Houston, Texas. Details will be posted on www.coade.com and Intergraph event sites in the coming weeks.

PipeServe Engineering achieves success on Greek power project with Intergraph CADWorx, CAESAR II, and PV Elite integration

Headquartered in Athens, Greece, PipeServ Engineering provides engineering services to the oil and gas industries, including petroleum refining, and for to power generation and other heavy industries.  TUV Austria Hellas chose PipeServ for the design of a series of combined cycle power plants in Greece that involved engineering and design for piping and supports within the plant facility and for auxiliary systems, large bore hot and cold pipelines involving 2,500 supports, 300 spring hangers, a pipe rack and steel structures. PipeServ performed stress analysis for small bore hot pipelines and finite element analysis for buried circulating water pipelines of 2.5m in diameter. They also provided mechanical design and construction drawings for three tanks and seven pressure vessels, including construction drawings.

"The advanced capabilities of this easy-to-use and proven solution provided fast project set up and a quick learning curve with almost immediate productivity and we also benefited from the easy customization of databases and efficient coordination among specialties.”"
