Software enhances piping analysis and hydrogen-readiness
CAESAR II Version 14 (photo) is the latest iteration of this company’s pipe flexibility and stress analysis software. CAESAR II enables quick and accurate analysis of piping systems subjected to a wide range of loads, considering weight, pressure, thermal, seismic and other static and dynamic conditions. It can perform analysis for all types of piping stress calculations in several environments, such as buried, on ground and submerged in water. A key addition of this new release is the support for hydrogen piping and pipelines with the inclusion of code ASME B31.12. Amid rapid growth in hydrogen production worldwide, this inclusion aims to ensure that engineers can take on hydrogen projects with confidence. Other enhancements include: the possibility to manage wind and seismic conditions with ease using ASCE 7-2022 and IBC-2021 editions; the update of popular European code EN 13480-3:2017/A5:2022 — Metallic industrial piping — Part 3: Design and calculation; and more.
