water hammer / slug flow analysis spectrum load case problem - 12/25/16 04:05 AM

Dear experts,

I am performing water hammer / slug flow analysis in CAESAR II 2014 version. I am unable to increase the spectrum load cases beyond 31, where my dynamic load cases are around 75. Even the static / dynamic combinations are around 40. Since my model is bigger size and also I have considered all elbow points even short distance elbow pairs.

So please advise me how to increase the load cases in spectrum load case tab.

Try increasing the memory allocated to CAESAR II. This is a configuration file setting. Under Miscellaneous Options, select a larger value for "Memory Allocated (Mb)" and retry.
Let us know what happens...
