Comprehensive Piping Stress Analysis (Caesar II) Online Course (35+ hours)

Whatispiping Team, in association with Everyeng, is conducting an online pre-recorded Comprehensive Piping Stress Analysis Certificate course to help mechanical and piping engineers. Along with the regular content that the participants will be learning, there will be a dedicated 2-hour doubt-clearing session (/question-answer session) with the mentor.

Contents of Online Piping Stress Analysis with Caesar II Course

The program will be delivered using the most widely used pipe stress analysis software program, Caesar II. The full course is divided into 4 parts.

• Part A will describe the basic requirements of pipe stress analysis and will help the participants to be prepared for the application of the software package.
• Part B will describe all the basic static analysis methods that every pipe stress stress engineer must know.
• Part C will give some understanding of dynamic analysis modules available in Caesar II; and
• Part D will explain all other relevant details that will prepare a basic pipe stress engineer to become an advanced user. Additional modules will be added in this section as and when ready.

In its present form, the full course will roughly cover the following details:
