CAESAR II 2017, Hotfix 2 (09.00.00.5902)

CAESAR II 2017, Hotfix 2 contains the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue in which the software performed calculations using an incorrect allowable stress
value for the IGE/TD/12 piping code under a specific circumstance. Previously, when you
analyzed a job with multiple materials and cleared the Allowable Stress check box, the software
used values from the previously defined materials and miscalculated the allowable stress for the
selected element. (TR-TX-20909)

• Fixed an issue in which duplicating an element with restraints resulted in the new element
receiving an extra restraint. Previously, if you selected the Duplicate block operation for elements
with a restraint and selected one of the Mirror options on the Block Duplicate dialog, the
software incorrectly created an extra translational skewed restraint on the new elements. (TR-TX-
20492)

• Resolved an issue with bend fitting thickness values in the CAESAR II Neutral File. Previously,
the software incorrectly converted the bend fitting thickness values when the pipe thickness units
differed from the length units. The software now converts the pipe thickness values to the
appropriate units when writing to the neutral file. (DM-TX-20973)

• Fixed an issue in which adding nozzle flexibility boundary conditions caused the software to
disable certain report options. Previously, if you analyzed a job with nozzle data, the software
disabled certain options on the Miscellaneous Data Options dialog box when creating a
Miscellaneous Data report. (TR-TX-20435)

• Fixed an issue in which the software converted certain restraint types after a neutral file
conversion. Previously, when converting an older Piping Input file to a CAESAR II Neutral File,
the software converted GUIDE restraints to LIM restraints. (TR-TX-20069)

• Addressed several performance issues that affected files with a large number of displacements.
Enhancements made to show displacement symbols on the model in CAESAR II 9.0 resulted in
increased loading times for large files with many displacements. The software has been optimized
to reduce the loading times in these files. (TR-TX-20866)

CAESAR II 2017, Hotfix 1 (09.00.00.5901)

CAESAR II 2017, Hotfix 1 contains the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue in which the software did not convert certain concentrated forces (FX) to different
units. When you converted an existing input file to a new set of units using the CAESAR II Input
File Units Conversion, the software did not convert the FX values for vectors 4 - 9 on the
Forces/Moments auxiliary tab of the Classic Piping Input. (DM-TX-19200)

• Fixed an issue in which the software would overwrite the Hanger Hardware Weight value with
the Constant Effort Support Load data when importing and exporting the CAESAR II Neutral
File. The software now writes the data to the correct location in the neutral file. (DM-TX-19202)

• Resolved an issue in which imported CADWorx .dwg graphic files did not display in CAESAR II.
Previously, an incompatibility issue with CADWorx Plant 2017 resulted in CAESAR II being
unable to display models created in CADWorx 2017. The CADWorx object enablers have been
updated and CADWorx 2017 models now display in the software. (TR-TX-19198)

• Note: This issue also affected CAESAR II 2016. Updated object enablers for CAESAR II 2016
were uploaded separately to the Smart Support website.
