How To Export - Import Displacement File From - Into CAESAR II
How To Export - Import Displacement File From - Into CAESAR II
FROM/INTO CAESAR II
(Prepared by: Joe WongWC)
CAESAR II Versions 5.10 and later enables you to import and export displacements to and from a text
file. This feature is very useful in situations where you need to define several displacements in a
CAESAR II model. You can import the displacements into a CAESAR II model with a few mouse clicks
instead of manually typing all the displacements in the Classic Piping Input. A displacements file in the
specified format must exist.
(Note: This feature works only on From and To nodes using a fixed file (.disp) format for versions 5.10
and 5.20.)
In CAESAR II Version 2013 R1 (6.10), this feature works on the From and To nodes, CNodes, and
Bend middle nodes in either the fixed file format (.disp), or the comma separated value (.csv) format.
You can easily generate and maintain a displacement file in .csv format using Microsoft Excel.
Exporting Displacements to a File
1. Click Tools > Import/Export Displacements from File.
The Import/Export Displacements dialog box displays.
2. Type the path and name of a displacement file in the Export Displacements To a File box, or
click ... to browse to the file.
3. Click Export to send the nodal displacements to the selected file.
4. Click Done to exit the Import/Export Displacements dialog.
(Note: If there are no displacements in a CAESAR II job, an export operation creates a displacement
template file in which all nodes are listed according to the element list)
