11.2. Report Type

1. Displacement
This report gives the magnitude of the displacement for each load case. For spectral results, due to summing methodology, all displacement values in this report are positive. For time history analysis, the values are correctly signed.

2. Restraint Forces

3. Local Force
This report gives elemental forces and moments in the element local a-b-c coordinate system. The a-b-c coordinate system is defined as follows: For straight pipe not connected to an intersection: a is along the element axis (i.e. perpendicular to the pipe cross-section) b is axY, unless a is vertical and then b is along X c is axb. For bends and elbows, and for each segment end: a is along the element axis (i.e. perpendicular to the pipe cross-section) b is normal to the plane of the bend c is axb For intersections, and for each segment framing into the intersection: a is along the element axis (i.e. perpendicular to the pipe cross-section) b is normal to the plane of the intersection c is axb

9. Natural Frequency
Calculated modal natural frequencies are reported in Hertz and radians per second; period is reported in seconds.

10. Modes Mass Normalized

A mass normalization procedure is used to compute valued magnitudes for mode shapes.

11. Modes Unity Normalized

This report scales the largest displacement in the mode shape to 1.0, with all other displacements and rotations scaled accordingly. This mode report is the easiest way to get a feel for the shape of the mode.

12. Included Mass Data

displays the percent of the total system mass/force included in the extracted modes, and the percent of system mass/force included in the missing mass correction (if any) for each of the individual shocks of each of the dynamic load cases. Indication of the accuracy of the total system response captured by the dynamic model, with 100% being the difficult to achieve ideal.

The report :
Load Case, Shock Description, and direction cosines % Mass Included, shows the percentage of mass active in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. % Force Added % Force Active and subtracting from 100.

13. Input Listing

Lists the input for the piping model or for the dynamic input.

14. Mass Model

lumped masses for the dynamic runs. a fairly uniform distribution of masses. Large or irregular variations in the values shown should be investigated. Usually these large values can be reduced by breaking down exceedingly long, straight runs of pipe.

15. Boundary Condition

The Active Boundary Condition Report shows the user how CAESAR II dealt with the nonlinear restraints in the job. It shows which directional supports were included, which gaps were assumed closed, and just how friction resistance was modeled.
