I'm using Caesar II for a Pipe Stress analysis at the moment according to the Stoomwezen Code (Netherlands), and when I select the Stoomwezen Code on the Allowable Stresses Box at the Input Screen, then I only can fill in one temperature, instead of 9 as for the rest of the codes. Can Anybody explain me why? I have to run the analysis for a lot of different temperature cases and that means that I have to do several runs at different temperatures.

Also, the Yield Stress shown for the material I selected, is based on the ASME code, not the Stoomwezen code, which is actually lower. I will have to put the value manually for this material, but I’m wondering if I have to do this for all materials using Stoomwezen code.

The company I’m working now is used to work with Autopipe when running Stress analysis according to Stoomwezen but right now this issue is not helping to make Caesar II popular around here.

There is so much material data needed for the Stoomwezen Code (when compared to the B31 Codes), that we used the allowable fields for the other temperatures to contain this data. This is why you're only allowed one temperature when you select the Stoomwezen Code.

There are no Stoomwezen materials in the material database, so the default (B31.3) physical properties are used. If you use the same material or set of materials often, you can use the "Material Database Editor" to add data specific to Stoomwezen.
