Dear DBS1958,

Your posts are full of words like "wrong" and "fundamentally wrong".
I'll quote from Caesar Documentation and the capital letters are part of the original:
THE USER OF THE SOFTWARE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE THE FINAL EVALUATION AS TO THE USEFULNESS OF THE SOFTWARE IN HIS OWN ENVIRONMENT

In my opinion it is very useful to be aware of what a Code says, before having so strong opinions on forums.
ASCE 7 imposes a minimum load and explains in C29.7 MINIMUM DESIGN WIND LOADING
"This section specifies a minimum wind load to be applied horizontally [...]. This load case is to be applied as a separate load case in addition to the normal load cases specified in other portions of this chapter."

True, Caesar does not consider it as a separate case because does not implement the cases as shown "in other portions" of ASCE 7.

ASCE 7 loads are considered in piping analysis under provisions of other Codes, for example B31.3, 301.5.2 Wind. "The analysis considerations and loads may be as described in ASCE 7." You may see, as a detail, that the ASCE cases are not required or suggested to be implemented, just "analysis considerations and loads" may be as per ASCE.

"Thinking logically" (to quote you), in case the loads comply with the stuff "as described in ASCE 7", what exactly is "wrong" here?
