CAESAR II Version
11.0 (2019)

If you specify the wind shape factor in the Classic Piping Input dialog box, CAESAR II lists WIN1, WIN2, WIN3 and WIN4 as available loads in Static Analysis - Load Case Editor dialog box. Because the software requires additional information to make an analysis, CAESAR II activates the Wind Loads tab so that you can define the required wind load data.

O332203_8_0

You can specify up to four different wind load profiles. Omit any of them to exclude the data from the analysis. CAESAR II supports thirteen wind codes. For more information, see Wind Loads Tab (Static Analysis - Load Case Editor Dialog Box).

Select Wind Code or Profile

You can use the following wind codes to generate wind loads on piping systems. Refer to the CAESAR II Quick Reference Guide for details on which versions of each code that CAESAR II supports.
