NEMA factor in Caesar II 2019 - 05/18/21 08:00 AM

Hello,
I am using Caesar II 2019 and while working on NEMA calculation when i input the NEMA allowable load factor as 4, In Caesar II calculation the NEMA allowable load multiplier is set to 1. Hence any result exceeding 1 times in output is showing fail whereas in older version the comparison was done based on the load factor multiplier so any value in output under 4times NEMA was shown pass.

Is this feature intentionally changed?

Thanks,
Dinesh

My work around for this case is to use Caesar II 2018 to evaluate NEMA SM23 while extracting the loads in Caesar II 2019 if you have both version otherwise use spreadsheet to evaluate the nozzle loads.

Refer to this thread.
