CAESAR II®

Complete and Easy-to-use Plant Design Suite

World Standard for Pipe Flexibility andStress Analysis

CADWorx® Plant Design Suite is an integrated
complete BricsCAD®-based - (included) andAutoCAD®-based software solution set for plantdesign that provides intelligent drawing and databaseconnectivity, advanced levels of automation, and easyto-use drafting tools.
The comprehensive suite of design tools includes
piping, structural steel, equipment, process andinstrument diagrams, and design review, plus
automatic isometrics and bills of material.
CADWorx is quick and easy to set up and use, so youcan start designing right away. The bi-directional links
between CADWorx and CAESAR II® for pipe stressanalysis, and PV Elite® for pressure vessel analysis,
enable designers and engineers to easily share
information while keeping the drawings, models, andrelated information synchronized as changes are
made. Plus, the fast processing and highly refineduser-interface features in CADWorx make it possible
for multiple users to work together efficiently, even on
the largest models.
CADWorx has revolutionized the plant design industry
with its ease of use, flexibility, inter-connectivityand scalability.

Since its introduction in 1984, CAESAR II has remained
the world’s most widely used pipe flexibility and stressanalysis software. A complete solution for quick andaccurate analysis of piping systems subjected to awide variety of loads, CAESAR II addresses weight,pressure, thermal, seismic, and other static anddynamic conditions, based on user-defined variables
and accepted industry guidelines.
CAESAR II can analyze piping systems of virtually
any size or complexity, whether you are designing anew system or troubleshooting an existing one. Plus,
CAESAR II features direct integration between CAD
design tools (such as CADWorx Plant and IntergraphSmart® 3D) and analysis. This means engineers anddesigners can easily share information while keeping
their drawing and related information synchronized.
With CAESAR II, you can do more in less time anddeliver more accurate results.

PV Elite®

GT STRUDL®

Vessel and Exchanger Analysis MadeSimple

Structural Analysis and Design
Modeling Software

PV Elite provides engineers, designers, estimators,fabricators and inspectors with solutions thatmatch their pressure vessel and heat exchanger
design needs. Because the software is user-friendly,
it is perfect for both regular and occasional users
requiring fast startup and confidence in their safetycode calculations.

For 40 years, GT STRUDL has offered structural
engineers a complete design solution and we’ve now
incorporated 3D CAD modeling and 64-bit highperformance computation solvers into all versions.

PV Elite is a complete solution for the quick andintuitive design of new pressure vessels. It also
evaluates and re-rates existing vessels, including
fitness for service analysis. The software considers
the whole vessel, addressing all of the wall thickness
rules and stress analysis requirements for vertical
towers, horizontal vessels and heat exchangers. You
can also evaluate individual vessel components.
Users benefit from faster workflows thanks totubesheet design and analysis, rectangular and noncircular vessel analysis and individual component
analysis. PV Elite boosts confidence in your safetycode calculations with the software’s design tools andwizards, plus comprehensive error checking to deliverclear, concise and accurate results.

Our structural analysis software is a highquality, interoperable, and data driven system forcomprehensive frame and finite element analysis,including international design codes for both steel
and reinforced concrete.
GT STRUDL includes all the tools necessary toanalyze a broad range of structural engineering andfinite element analysis problems, including linear andnonlinear static and dynamic analysis, and can doso accurately in a fraction of the time of most othersolutions. GT STRUDL is completely interoperablewith modeling packages such as Intergraph Smart 3D
and CADWorx® Structure.
The CAD modeler user interface offers BricsCADand AutoCAD environments that enable structural
engineers to easily model, analyze and design themost complex structures.
