Before importing any PCFs into CAESAR II, set the mapping files so that the CAESAR II model matches your company standard and pipe stress analysis norms. Use any standard text editor to modify each required mapping file. The mapping files are described below.

PCF_MAT_MAP.TXT - Material mapping file

Map the materials from Smart 3D to the CAESAR II material database.

PCF_RES_MAP.TXT - Support mapping file

Map the supports in Smart 3D (based on your company standard) to support types definition in CAESAR II

PCF_SIF_MAP.TXT - Component mapping file

Translate the components such as Tees to their corresponding category in the stress model with Stress Intensification Factors (SIFs)

PCF_UNITS_MAP.TXT - Units mapping file

Translate the units in the Smart 3D model to units for CAESAR II.

When editing the mapping files, make sure that the mapping files are in the CAESAR II system folder:

  1. Start CAESAR II, and then click Tools > Explore System Folder.

  2. Make sure each of the above mapping files are in the System folder location.
