Caeser II Course

Schedules
Overview
Syllabus

The most popular software for pipe flexibility and stress analysis is CAESER II. This CAESER II software can simulate a fluid transferring from a higher temperature to a lower temperature while exerting greater pressure. The structural reactions and stresses of pipe systems are assessed using CAESAR II in accordance with international regulations and standards. The benchmark for pipe stress analysis that all others are compared to is CAESAR II.
