Dear all,

I am doing a subsea piping stress analysis. i have done the anlysis based on Chapter IX of ASME B 31.4. All the environmental inputs(Wave, Current and water depth) have been applied to the model. Now i am confusing with the BUOYANCY weight. By referring previous descussion regarding BUOYANCY held in the forum i have understood that when we are applying wave load then caesar II will calculate the BUOYANCY weight , ie W=Weight + BUOYANCY weight. but i was not able to find out any thing about this in CAESAR II user guide and Technical Reference manual.I need to explain this in my report because my client is asking for the BUOYANCY weight.

Does anybody knows about how to consider the buoyancy weight in CAESAR II. Also I want to know do there have any option for geting these BUOYANCY values in the Input Report?

Thanking you
