This video discusses how to input stiffnesses in the Expansion Joint feature.
Sometimes manufacturers do not provide all the needed information to model
expansion joints in CAESAR II; this video provides equations to calculate the
Translational and Bending stiffnesses. A quick overview of the Axial, Translational,
Bending, and Torsional stiffness is given. To verify accuracy, a comparison is made
between the Expansion Joint Modeler and the calculated stiffnesses.
CAESAR II – API 610 Nozzle
Limit Check
CAESAR II has the ability to do a “first run pass” per API 610 for piping loads and
moments. This video explains the correct way to use the Nozzle Limit Check in
CAESAR II. The following topics are discussed:
• Comparison Method
• Setting up the Reference Vector
• Explanation of Axis, Forces and Moments
This video also discusses how to read the API 610 files CAESAR II uses to compare the
loads and moments.

CAESAR II: Smart Modeling
and Modification – Using Duplicate, Break and Rotate
Sometimes multiple elements have the same characteristics; it could be that they all
have the same restraints, lengths, or are all on the same slope. CAESAR II makes it
easy to create and modify models with similar characteristics. In this video, I follow
the situation where I need to update my model to slope a line of pipe that has already
been created. I show how to start the model from the beginning, adding the slope to
my elements, using the duplicate and break feature. Towards the end, the rotate
feature is used to modify the already existing model to have the slope, and also
changes the direction of the restraints, displacements, and uniform loads. Although
this video follows one situation, the features shown are useful to anybody who will be
creating or updating models with elements that have similar characteristics.
