Different stress results in two releases of CAESAR V.11

Hello all,

Me and my counterpart in another company are using SP.1 and SP.2 releases of CAESAR II V.11 and are getting very different results on seismic and expansion stresses on one same file.

Has there been any changes to calculation formulas or anything else which can explain these huge differences in results?

Thanks

Looks like in the latest documentation, there were a number of code updates and software updates regarding seismic analysis in V.11, which can be read in the V.12 version of the update history.

Changes to the software made in Service Packs can be found in the "What's New" document, which is available from the "Help" ribbon.

Question: Are you both running with the same configuration file?

Thanks I'll look into it. Yes, we have the same cfg file.

Would you also tell me where to find the SP pack of my CAESAR please?

When you start the software, in the lower right corner of the Main Menu you will find version/build information. It looks like this:

xx.yy.zz.dddd, where:

xx - is the major version number
yy - is the minor version number
zz - is the Service Pack number
dddd - is the build number

Example:
57.02.03.0045

Version 57.02, Service Pack 3, build 45

So I have to make by hand. I think there is no way to automatically change position from Pope to Pdes automatically in input window. Or maybe can I make copy/paste in nodes matrix, column for pressures?

I would do this by hand. Chances are there are only a couple of places in the model you need to make this adjustment.
