Can any body help me in exporting file from cadowrks plant and then importing it in caesar for stress analysis?
i see the caesar option in cadowrk plant accessories but it exports the file in *CAESAR II while when we open any file in caeser it has extenion of _a or str.

You are correct. CADWorx Plant will create a CAESAR II file and that file's extension will be "dot C 2". (This forum will automatically convert a C and a 2 with no space between to the name CAESAR II.)

I must assume from your question that your version of CAESAR II cannot open that "dot C 2" file. Since Version 5.00, CAESAR II reads that "dot C 2" file. I suggest upgrading.

thanks for reply dave.......
you are right i am using 4.2 version. it mean in my version i cannot open cadwork plant file.

The latest version of CADWorx can create a CAESAR II file of type 4.40, 4.50, 5.00, or 5.10. This is designated by setting the CAESAR II Version variable in the CADWorx configuration file. I'm not sure if you can go all the way back to 4.20.

(You realize that from a "Piping Code" point of view, your CAESAR II is "seriously" out of date - right?)

Thanks richard;
i have successfully imported files from cadworks plant. yeah i know my CAESAR II is very old and soon we will updgrade it. Still i am in learning phase. can any body help me in making stress iso?

CADWorx has a menu option for "CAESAR II Stress Iso". After that, what's your question?

i am really thankfull to you richard. i have successfully drawn stress iso but these are like those iso drawing which we draw normally from cadworks plant.i can only see addition of anchor and hanger in stress iso.can it show reaction forces on anchor and supports?
once again i am thankfull to you and i ill come up with a question when i ill feel trouble next time.....

Yes, use the "Annotation" option, and then select the output you want.
