Caesar Pipe Stress Analysis

Hello I have 10 years of experience as pipe stress engineer (this is my formal employment). In your description, you are using the load cases to analyze the seismic forces in horizontal and vertical directions alone, and in the first one you make the combination of horizontal forces in combination with the vertical.... Would be great discuss more details. Thank you, Pablo

Professional engineer with 37 years of experience in Mechanical design, I have good CAD team with me, and also I take care of prototype fabrication............I have taken care of design of wind turbines, high pressure and low pressure systems, .........................Prefer offer at $55/hr rate with $220 as MILESTONE

Greetings, We have an engineer with masters of science in earthquakes engineering, He has done many project via FEM. combination earthquakes load for pipe is like below. U1 = seismic load - east U2 = seismic load - vertical U3 = seismic load - north 1.2D + 1.2Operp±1.2Therx±1.2Thery+ E+ 0.2S D = dead load Operp = operating load Ther = thermal load E = earthquake load S = snow load

Hello. My name is Stevan Sapic and I am a mechanical engineer with experience in FEA analysis method (in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2013) you can see in my portfolio. Choose me and you will not regret. Best regards Stevan.

I have knowledge of piping designing as well as stress analysis through caesar. I am mechanical engineer.

Greetings, As you need someone experienced in CAESARII, I can take this offer because I've worked in several projects from underground piping, to piping systems over offshore facilities. Most of these analysis have required several occasional load combinations, including seismic, waves, displacements and wind. Regarding your question, the Option 1 of load case analysis refers to scalar combination of operational loads such as W, T1 and P1 with seismic loads on planes (X,Y), (-X,Y), (X,-Y), (-X,-Y), (Z,Y), (-Z,Y), (Z,-Y) and (-Z,-Y) (that, accodingly with the default designation of coordinates of the CAESARII analysis). The Option 2, refers to the same scalar combination of operational loads with the seismic loads only in an specific direction, which will let you know the maximun and minimun loads on each node for the set of earthquake loads. Look for my email address in case you requiere further information from me. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon, Kind Regards, Guillermo Ollarves

Hello. First of all i will reply to the question. U1,U2 and U3 are "G factors" representing uniform loads in X,Y and Z direction respectively calculated based on Geographical location. In option 1; the uniform load of Y direction is combined algebraically with X and Z directional uniform loads while in option 2 the uniform loads for each direction are considered separately. Explaining in brief for Load case 1; in first option uniform loads of +X and +Y directions are combined algebraically while in second option the uniform load of only +X direction is considered. I hope you are satisfied with the answer. Thanks & Regards, Dhaval Rana
