Spring is nature’s way of saying “Lets Party!” – Robin Williams

It seems like the long winter is finally behind us – I don’t know about you, but we at CADWorx^® & Analysis Europe are definitely ready for the spring! We have active few months behind us – from organizing events and webinars, acquiring Plant Design Solutions, publishing an article on how ancillary design software can assist EPC contractors in both brownfield and greenfield projects, we’ve kept busy during the last months of winter.

Hence, I am happy to share an overview of our latest happenings with you:

• Join us for the CADWorx Workshop on 30^th of May in Cologne, Germany, or the Discovery Tour Italy on 24^th of May 2018 in Udine, Italy.
• Read a case study on how Ecophos saved 40% of the time in creating permit drawings with the help of CADWorx solutions
• Discover how Kelvion Refrigeration BV is looking to improve efficiency with Visual Vessel Design.

This year, we will also be part of the HxGN LIVE conference in Las Vegas. You can find more information on CADWorx & Analysis’s participation here.

I would like to wish you a productive spring season!

Take Your CAESAR II Knowledge to the Next Level

Now is a perfect time to take your technology knowledge to the next level with CAESAR II training. Whether you're a new or experienced CAESAR II user, you will learn how to make the best use of your software with these training classes in Houston:

Date	Class
April 23-27	CAESAR II Statics
April 30 - May 2	CAESAR II Dynamics
June 4-8	CAESAR II Statics
September 10-14	CAESAR II Statics
November 5-9	CAESAR II Statics
November 12-14	CAESAR II Dynamics

CAESAR II Statics

CAESAR II Productivity Training is more than just learning how to use the program. It incorporates Piping Code background along with proper engineering application of the software. Attendees develop real-world knowledge of static analysis while also learning how to use CAESAR II for cost-effective piping design. Learn about:

• Piping code background and requirements.
• Proper modeling techniques.
• Guidelines for piping system design.
• Interpreting program results.

Half-day Case Studies include:

• Modeling buried pipe using a pipeline code; fatigue evaluation.
• Modeling and evaluating FRP pipe; static evaluation of seismic loads.
• Wind and wave loads on an offshore riser.

CAESAR II Dynamics

CAESAR II Productivity Training is highly regarded for its blend of background theory, use of CAESAR II, and engineering application. Attendees will develop real-world knowledge of dynamic analysis of systems while also learning how to use CAESAR II for cost-effective piping design. Topics covered:

• Dynamic response of mechanical systems
• Building a dynamic model for analysis
• Interpreting dynamic analysis results
• Solving field vibration problems using harmonic analysis
• Seismic analysis using the response spectrum method
• Evaluating transient loads with time history analysis

Additional components include:

• A survey of approaches to evaluating relief valve discharge
• Workshop exercise in slug flow evaluation
• Workshop using time history methods to verify a dynamic load factor
