How can I start seismic and wind analysis? I have no experience in occasional stresses in Caesar II yet I know how to perform these wind and seismic case analysis using AutoPipe.

Please teach and guide me all through out this procedure.

Thank you.

In the Piping Input:
- Define the wind shape factor on the first element that is exposed to the wind. (You typically only need to do this once, since this data will be duplicated to successive elements.)

- On the "Special Execution Parameters", check the checkbox indiating uniform loads are in "g's" instead of force/length.

- When necessary, check the uniform load checkbox and define the "G vector". (You typically only need to do this once, since this data will be duplicated to successive elements.)

In Static Load Case Setup:
- Use the "Wind Tab" to define the specific wind parameters and wind direction.

- Define the "Occasional Load Cases" as necessary.

Thanks Richard for this helpful advise. Appreciate it. Til next time.
