Intergraph PDS to CAESAR II transfer

Hi,

I’ve been having problems exporting files from Intergraph PDS Version 07.03.00.11 into Caesar II.

I exported the neutral file from the stress analysis unit of PDS using the Intergraph delivered caesarII.dat options file and then imported this file into CAESAR II using the external interface option.

When I opened the file with Caesar, all the pipes seemed to converging on the same point (ie. all the pipes overlap at a point) and the units and dimensions seem to be wrong (eg. bends having lengths of more than a hundred feet!!)

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Al

Make sure the active units file you are using in c2 matches what the units are in the PDS neutral file. If you can't figure it out, up load the neutral file here.
