insufficient number of displacement vectors

insufficient number of displacement vectors - 07/07/14 09:11 AM

Hi,

I'm working on Jumpers calculation (for people who don't know the jumpers: it's a type of pipe shape that connect the wellhead to a production or a water injection sub-sea pipeline in shallow or deep water (in my case around 2000 m under seal level).
As the installation procedure is very complicated and very expensive I have to take into account a lot of tolerances (Installation, metrology, Pipeline buckling, Pipeline expansion, well head rotation and displacements etc...). So I need to enter more than 15 displacement vector from D1 to D15 to cover all possible combinations. But Caesar II have only 9 vector from D1 to D9.
Is there any way to increase the number of vector on Caesar II 2011 to 2014?? otherwise I will have to make 130 Caesar Model to cover all combinations. Note that in other Old piping calculation software such as AUTOPIPE I can enter more Vectors then 9.

Unfortunately "no", you cannot add more than nine load vectors of any type (temperature, pressure, displacment, force).

may be you can have them in two separate models if some of them don't affect the other displacements
