Set a temporary weight for a Stress Run

Pipe Stress Interface User Guide

Check Stress Group for Errors : Node Errors : Set a temporary weight for a Stress Run

From the Existing Group box, right-click the selected Stress Group and select Show Node Details from the drop-down menu. The Node Details window is displayed.

Select the component that needs the weight to be changed. (If the weight is zero, the Error column will be flagged as True in the Node Details window).

Right-click anywhere on the component’s row to display the drop-down menu.

Select Display > Node Attributes.

Note:

Alternatively, select Node Attributes, from the Node Details window.

The Node Number ARRAY window is displayed with the majority of the fields being read-only. However if the weight is zero then the weight field can be changed. Change the weight to a suitable value, and select Apply. A Confirm window is displayed warning that the changes made by this method are only temporary.

Click Yes to change the weight or No to cancel the changes.

Note:

Further changes to weight values can be made within CAESAR II software.

Although CAESAR ll will allow up to nine temperatures and pressures, by default the Pipe Stress Interface only transfers one temperature and pressure, therefore error messages for temperature 2 - 9 can be ignored. If no insulation has been set on a branch, any error in insulation can be ignored.

To close the Node Details window, click Dismiss.
