Calculates stresses in vessels due to attached piping. The software opens the WRC 107/297 window.

The module allows multiple analyses to be saved inside the same file. The Job Explorer lists each analysis contained in the job, sorted by analysis type: WRC-107 (537) or WRC-297/PD5500. The items in the list are created by combining the item description and the item number, which can be subsequently changed in the data input window. The Loads pane, which contains a data input grid, displays the selected analysis type.

The following commands are available on the WRC 107/297 toolbar.

Defines a data set as a WRC-107 (537) analysis.

Defines a data set as a WRC-297/PD5500 analysis.

Removes an analysis from the job.

To add a new analysis to the job, click the corresponding analysis type, WRC 107 (537) or WRC 297 (PD5500), on the toolbar. You can remove an analysis from the job by selecting it in the Job Explorer, and then clicking Delete Selected Items on the toolbar. To display an analysis in the Loads pane, select it from the list in the Job Explorer.

The analysis results and the graphical representation display on the Analysis and Drawing tabs on the right side of the Loads pane. The data that displays on both of these tabs automatically updates after each change in the Loads pane, even if they are hidden.

The following example shows a sample analysis report.

Nozzle curves in WRC Bulletin 107 cover typical applications of nozzles in vessels or piping. If any of the interpolation parameters fall outside the limits of the available curves, CAESAR II uses the last curve value in the appropriate WRC table.
