11.0 (2019)
  • AISC Structural Steel Database with over 800 different structural steel cross-sections.

  • Keyword/Batch Structural Steel Preprocessor - Provides the same quality CAESAR II graphics with structural steel volume plots, interactive error checking, extensive interactive help, and is fully compatible with CAESAR II piping models.

  • High Resolution Graphics - EGA support for monochrome and 640x350, 16 color mode. Tecmar Graphics Master support for monochrome and 640x200, 16 color mode. Hercules support for monochrome 720x348 mode.

  • Graphics - Added Pan and Range options. Improved zooming, stresses and displaced shapes in color, hidden lines removed from volume plots, and pipe and structure plotted together.

  • 3D-Graph - Added an option to plot stresses for all nodes for all load cases on the same plot.

  • Simultaneous Use Of Two Screens - Supports one monochrome screen and another for graphics.

  • WRC 107 Stress Calculations.

  • Units - Use English and SI standard options, or define your own set of unit constants and labels. Output may be generated in multiple unit sets, and input files may be converted from one unit set to another.

  • Wind Load Calculations - According to ANSI A58.1-1982, or you can input your own velocity or pressure versus elevation tables.

  • Pipe/structure “include” Option - Piping input from one file may be included in another with a given node and rotational offset.

  • Quick Natural Frequency Range Calculations - Computes the number of natural frequencies in any user given range in the amount of time needed to do a single static solution.

  • High Resolution Hardcopy Printer Plots.

  • Setup file options - You can set the following CAESAR II execution parameters:

    • Graphics hardware configurations.

    • Colors for over 27 different plotted items.

    • B3.1 reduced intersection options.

    • Plot/Geometry connection through CNodes options.

    • Corroded cross section stress calculation options.

    • Minimum and Maximum allowed bend angle options.

    • Occasional load factors.

    • Loop closure tolerance.
