I am using CAESAR II version 4.4. With this version, it is not possible to take print out of soil properties and description of buried elements through MS word. Modification on this would be useful to the users.
In a piping system, if more than one code (e.g.-31.3 and 31.4) is applicable, Stress Summary does not address this code break properly. It always indicates the last code specified in the input model.
We have noticed that co-efficient of expansion (alpha) for Duplex Stainless Steel(DSS, S31803)in CAESAR II data base is same as austenitic SS. As per ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE, section II- part D, table TE-1, for DSS ( group 2 material) alpha value is lesser than austenitic SS.CAESAR II database should be updated for the correct values.
