CAESAR II Version

Specifies rigid element data, usually for a valve or a flange. Select or clear this option by double-clicking the Rigid check box on the Classic Piping Input dialog box.

The Rigids auxiliary panel tab defines options for the rigid element.

CAESAR II automatically includes 1.0 times the fluid weight of equivalent straight pipe and 1.75 times the insulation weight of equivalent straight pipe.

The rigid element stiffness is proportional to the matching pipe. For example, a 13 in. long 12 in. diameter rigid element is stiffer than a 13 in. long 2 in. diameter rigid element. This fact should be observed when modeling rigid elements that are part of a small pipe/large vessel, or small pipe/heavy equipment model. The stiffness properties are computed using 10 times the thickness of the rigid element. For additional details, see Technical Discussions.

Type the rigid element length in the DX, DY, and DZ fields.
