Transfers piping system geometry from an Intergraph neutral file to a standard CAESAR II _A binary input file. The geometry data consists of pipe lengths, diameters, thicknesses, connectivities, and node numbers. All nodal specific quantities, such as loads, displacements, and so forth, must be manually added to the CAESAR II input file.

There are three basic steps necessary to generate a CAESAR II input file from an Intergraph neutral file:

  1. Click Tools > External Interfaces > Intergraph PDS to create an Intergraph neutral file.

  2. Transfer this ASCII file to the CAESAR folder.

    You can create and transfer as many Intergraph neutral files as necessary. During data transfer, the interface continues to prompt you for neutral file names until you cancel the session.

  3. Verify the proper units file is active in the folder in which the neutral file is located. This is necessary for the proper conversion of the data.
