CAESAR II assumes cross sections are circular, i.e. pipes. You're only alternative here is to model the cross section as a "user defined shape" in the structural modeler, and build the model there. Note that this analysis will only yield displacements and reactions, no stresses.

That depends how the pipe is attached to the column.
