A good start is as suggest by Anindya at the link below:

I mean the things we should understand for a good start. Finite element methode is also important in order to know how Caesar works (honestly until today I have never done hand calculation to solve Forces and Moments using FEM consider mu, gap, temp, pressure, etc instead of weight and external forces). But it will help us to imagine. Read related CODE. Start from ASME B 31.3 as common.

Thanks for your advices!
I will do as you say,and now i am learning its help.

in china,there is one forum about caesar II ,with the website：www.aecsoft.com.cn，and there are also some article in chinese on how to use caesar II .you can find them out on the website mentioned above.

p.s.you should not say something like"...but these institute are under national control,students from village or small country without family relations are impossible to get in unless you have quite good knowledge and pass job interview," ...you think this is the case? simple and naive,little boy.
