Hello,
If the given pipe thermal expansion is 0.2mm/m, please how can I build/reflect this into Caesar II piping analysis. I did not see any input data on Caesar where this data can be inputted.
I am tempted to use the displacement input but the displacement unit is mm. Do I convert the thermal expansion pipe input data to displacement by multiplying with each pipe segment in my piping analysis.
The reaso I am asking this question is so that the operating load case can be W+P+T+D
Can someone give guidance.
Thanks for the help
