As far as I know, there is no way to go directly from Autopipe into CAESAR II. However, if you also have Autoplant, and you can get your Autopipe model into it, then you can save the Autoplant model as a <font color="0000ff">".PCF"</font> file.

Version 4.10 of CAESAR II has an interface that can read in a <font color="0000ff">".PCF"</font> file.

I've tried *.pcf but it gives nominal dia not the actual OD of pipe. How to convert the same in actual OD.

I will look at this ASAP as soon as you send me your particular .pcf file.

The PCF interface did not properly address the "nominal - actual" diameter relationship unless the nominals were in inches. This has been corrected and a revised interface DLL is available. For this to work properly, ensure you select the right "pipe size" specification via the configuration module.
