Main window Interfaces tab: CAD > CADWorx Plant 
Allows you to create models in orthographic, isometric, 2D, or 3D modes.
CAESAR II integrates with CADWorx Plant, which allows you to transfer design data directly into the software. A designer using CADWorx Plant can send all piping geometry for a model directly to the pipe stress engineer to be included in the CAESAR II stress analysis, decreasing project costs by reducing review iterations between design and analysis.
CADWorx Plant creates a PCF output file to integration with CAESAR II. CAESAR II includes a mapping utility for correlating PCF attributes to CAESAR II fields.
You can also load or reference a .vue, .hsf or .dwg file into your CAESAR II 3D model from the Classic Piping Input. You can then review the piping system to:
-
Visualize the design environment
-
Identify optimal support points
-
Identify expansion loop locations
-
Evaluate available clearances
-
Determine possible clash issues
For more information about transferring data between CAESAR II and CADWorx Plant,see the documentation delivered with CADWorx Plant.
For more information on PCF mapping and import, see PCF Mapping, Import PCF, and Advanced PCF Import.
After stress analysis completes, you can annotate the stress isometrics using any
data available in the software.
