Dear stress experts,

I am currently working in FPSO Topside facilities.I have some query related to above topic.
1.i.e Dynamic Acoustic-pulsation analysis of triplex reciprocating pump and piping.

Query: can we perform this in caesar-II by using beam method applying simple wave theory?

2. As far as controlling the vibration in the piping is concerned: we can make a static model of piping system and incorporating the support stiffnesses in it.And selecting support spacing & type by 4 th harmonic frequency method.Then passing the same in thermal analysis(static) and vibration separation in modal analysis(dynamic).(refer Mr. Ghosh choudhury's document in Hydrocarbon processing "decreasing vibration in reciprocating compressor piping").

Query:Is modal analysis provides 4th harmonic natural frequency?,If yes then how to identify this?

3.I need to condsider pulsation effects into the model.Also
I need to do vibration separation in pump foundation,Pump crank,pump and piping system.

Query:How to do this in a caesar-II dynamic analysis module?

Valuable suggestion towards progress is always appriciated by the world.
