  • Large Rotation Supports - Allows large rotation supports to be handled properly, by computing the support forces in all three global directions. Rod and Chain hanger supports can now be modeled.

  • Nonlinear Out-of-Core Solver - This new solver increases the range of problems CAESAR II can solve by allowing nonlinear solutions to be performed on the hard disk. This capability is necessary when a job is too large to be solved in memory.

  • Friction Report - Friction is a non-conservative force, and CAESAR II treats it as such. The restraint reports now show restraint loads due to friction for each load case.

  • New External Interface Hooks - A new interface module allows smooth interface to data conversion modules between CAESAR II and other programs such as AutoCAD. A new AutoCAD DXF interface is provided, and two thirds of the part vendors have completed interfaces from their AutoCAD ISO packages to CAESAR II.

  • ASCII Editor - Due to an overwhelming need and subsequent lack of easy to use system editors, a stand alone ASCII editor is provided. This editor easily modifies files such as AUTOEXE.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and SETUP.CII.

  • 2D XY Engineering Plotting Program - Stand alone plotting software that allows you to plot engineering data such as CAESAR II spectrum files. This software plots any real data arranged in columns.

  • Valve & Flange Database - The addition of a valve and flange database enables you to define or select the specific rigid element to insert into the piping system. The database is constructed to allow you to add or modify entries.

  • Dynamic Restart - The most time consuming part of a dynamic analysis is the Eigensolution. This feature allows a job to be restarted and use a previous Eigensolution.

  • WRC Updates - The latest edition (1979) of the WRC107 bulletin has been incorporated.

  • Input Title Page - An optional title page has been added to the input module. You can now define a title page of up to 19 lines which is stored with the input.

  • Expansion Joint Rating Program - This stand alone software allows you to compute the compression of each expansion joint corrugation and the compression of the joint as a whole. These values can then be compared to manufacturer’s recommendations for joint acceptance.
