Caesar II Pipe Stress Analysis Basic Course

Pipe stress analysis is one of the most critical activities in piping engineering. Critical piping routes must be studied with proper details to ensure the piping systems perform their intended work throughout their design life without failure.

This course is perfect for any engineer interested to start a career in piping stress analysis. Even piping layout engineers can learn the basics of pipe stress analysis using these step-by-step lectures. Most of the information related to piping stress analysis is organized in this course.

This course is designed to guide you through the pipe stress analysis process - using CAESAR II software developed by Hexagon. One practical problem is taken as an example to help the users learn the complete process of caesar ii pipe stress analysis. Some of the theoretical backgrounds are also covered in the online course.
