Pipe Stress Interface Utility : Features

The Pipe Stress Interface utility allows the user to create Stress Groups from existing pipe lines within the AVEVA E3D™ Design application.

Note:

A Stress Group is one or more AVEVA E3D™ pipes with a list of branches to be stressed.

When a Stress Group has been created the Pipe Stress Interface application will create a CAESAR II CII format file, which can be selected in CAESAR II and converted to a CAESAR II _A format file. The stress engineer can then perform stress calculations on the transferred Stress Group.

Once the stress engineer has finished the analysis, a Report file (with extension.out) and a CAESAR II Neutral file showing the modified pipe is created. These files can be then be imported back into AVEVA E3D™ to assist the piping engineer update the AVEVA E3D™ model to match.
