It is important to set the proper elevation of the piping system (height above ground) when running a wind analysis. When a wind shape factor is specified in the input, CAESAR II prompts you for the elevation (and horizontal coordinates) of this first node. By default, CAESAR II assigns the "From" node of the first element an elevation of 0.0. You can also use the procedure below to set the reference wind elevation of the piping system.

Set the true elevation

  1. Click EDIT > GLOBAL.

    A dialog appears.

  2. Enter the global coordinates of the first node in the system.

  3. Repeat step 2 for each (if any) disconnected section until you are finished.

SHARED Tip You can specify and save the coordinates for up to 100 node points from the model.
