Optimizing the interface and workflow between Piping Design and Piping Stress is important for organizations to limit redundancy and cost.
This course covers in great detail the step-by-step process related to the interface between three-dimensional piping system models from S3D to Caesar II, through the use of intermediate files called "PCF" (piping component files).
Providing you with great knowledge on how to optimize time when building piping models in Caesar II. Allowing the user and its team to take advantage of already modeled piping systems in Smart Plant 3D, importing them directly into Caesar II through PCFs.
The course teaches you the fundamentals, the setups, configurations, and workflows both in S3D and Caesar II that benefit the “building model phase” of a piping system, thereby minimizing the amount of time spent on modeling in Caesar II and increasing project efficiency.
The course consists of 4 interactive, online live sessions provided by the instructor. Detailed information, session links and any related course files are accessed through your EngineeringTrainer account.
