What does CAESAR II do? 9/15/2010

Session overview Taking the task from piping design to piping engineering. What questions does CAESAR II answer? A brief CAESAR II design sequence. Should conclude within the hour. Please use the Webinar dialog box to post your questions. 9/15/2010 Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions 2

Piping designer responsibilities Designer locates equipment and then routes pipe between these positions using an established pipe specification –The piping system is a unique pressure containment. Givens: –Pipe size is based on pressure drop, flow rate –Pipe specification (e.g. wall thickness) is based on design pressure & temperature –Material based on service requirements Designer has established rules for basic layout –Hydraulic issues –Spans between supports (deadweight sag) –System stability –Access / clearance 9/15/20103 Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions

So whats left for the piping engineer? Many systems require analysis to evaluate strain –Sources of thermal growth Pipe Equipment connections (vessels and equipment) –Other sources of strain Support settlement Support movement in marine piping Strain Load Stress –Evaluate pipe load as stress due to this strain –Evaluate load on equipment directly Except for simple layouts, the system response due to this strain is difficult to estimate Analysis yields a better estimate of pipe deflection, loads on pipe supports and equipment connections, and stress in the piping; and not only for strain. 9/15/20104 Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions F

Yes: OK No: Redesign required Design by Rule vs. Design by Analysis: Design by Rule: Minimum pressure thickness = (PD)/(2(SEW+PY)) Design by Analysis: Maximum stress due to pressure = Sh = (2/3)(yield stress) Stress due to pressure = PD/2t Is PD/2t < Sh ? Yes: OK No: Redesign required Many shops develop a critical line list to determine which piping layouts require additional engineering evaluation So, a move is made from Design by Rule to Design by Analysis This is where CAESAR II enters the picture
