Fair enough, Craig. As I look a back on my first posting in the thread, I can see that I probably should have been more explicit in my caveats. I, too, am quite concerned by the trends that we see just here on the forums of "kids" being thrown a computer and Caesar and told to "run the stress" of a piping system.

The thing that I try to bring across most to green stress analysts that come one board is that, Caesar doesn't do the work for you - it's just provides data to help you make a judgment. I've seen it happen a number of times where people get caught up in do loops running Caesar over and over trying to hit some magic numbers without really understanding what the numbers even mean. Addressing that was my intention.
