1. Its necessary to active wind load option for every node.

2. How to give branch connection in CAESAR II when i use CAEPIPE i specify for some cases Branch connection i do no in caesar II. 3.How to give concentric mass(Pressure gauge & Temperature gauge) its correct to give as forces

Plz help for my doubts

Please do not use the [Poll] option for general posts. A poll is a set of questions with multiple choice answers that readers select from. This is not a poll.

1) No, you only have to define the wind on the element it (the wind) starts on. The wind load will be distributed forward until you either change it or turn it off.

2) To specify a "tee", double click the "SIF & Tee" check box. Specify the tee node and the tee type.

3) I'm not sure what you're asking here. You can specify concentrated forces by checking the "Forces & Moments" check box, then specify the node and the loads. Temperatures and pressures are specified on the left hand side of the spreadsheet, near the bottom of the dialog.

Question 2:

To connect a pipe of 1 inch from a 10 inch straight run pipe there be no std available in TEE for that case how i connect.

In CAESAR II you would model this intersection the same as always. Things to watch out for are:

a) You have a 4 inch long segment of 1" pipe inside the 10" header that doesn't really exist. If this length significantly affects the flexibility of the branch, you need to use a "dummy rigid" element here.

b) Make sure you closely evaluate your connection with regard to the standard fitting types in the Code. CAESAR II only computes SIFs for fittings listed in the Code.
