Build Load Cases: Classic Piping Input Tab or Double-Click The Row Number For The Error Message
Build Load Cases: Classic Piping Input Tab or Double-Click The Row Number For The Error Message
display in blue text. All messages display in the Errors and Warnings tab next to the model
graphics.
When you double-click an error or warning message, CAESAR II displays the spreadsheet of
the associated element and highlights the element in the graphic display. You can sort error
messages by clicking the column titles. Use File > Print to print the entire error report or
selected sections. Use the options arrow on the Error Check icon to display only fatal errors or
all errors.
If there is a fatal error, you must return to the input module to make corrections. Click the
Classic Piping Input tab or double-click the row number for the error message.
If the error check process completes without fatal errors, a center of gravity report displays, the
analysis data files are generated, and the solution phase can commence. If fatal errors do exist,
the analysis data files are not generated, and the solution phase cannot begin. You must make
corrections and rerun the Error Checker until successful before analysis is permitted.
1. From the Piping Input window, select Edit > Edit Static Load Cases .
The Static Analysis - Load Case Editor dialog box displays.
2. You can build loads two ways:
Combine the load components defined in the input (weight, displacements,
temperatures, and so forth) into load cases (basic cases), or
Combine pre-existing load cases into new load cases (combination cases).
3. Build the basic cases by selecting one or more load components in the Loads Defined in
Input list and then dragging and dropping them to the Load Cases list to the right. You can
also type on any of the individual load case lines. Stress types (indicating which code
equations should be used to calculate and check the stresses) are selected from the Stress
Type list.
Combination cases, if needed, must follow the basic cases. You can build combination
cases by selecting one or more load components and dragging and dropping the basic load
cases from either the Load Defined in Input primitives or from the other previous load
cases (by dragging the load case number) to combine cases (or create new load cases)
later in the list.
You can have a maximum of 999 static load cases. For more information, see Static
Analysis - Load Case Editor Dialog Box (page 595).
