You must successfully complete the error checking portion of the piping input before you can perform static analysis. When error checking completes, the software creates the required analysis data files. Any changes that you make to the model are not reflected in the analysis unless you rerun the error checking. If the piping input has changed, CAESAR II does not allow an analysis to take place until you successfully run the error checker.

Error Check

Saves the input and starts the error checking procedure. When the error check completes, the Errors and Warnings dialog box displays the results. You can access this command only from the Classic Piping Input or CAESAR II Structural Input dialog boxes. You can also control the displayed errors and warnings:

  • Show All

  • Show Fatal Errors Only - Limits display to fatal errors without displaying warnings and notes.

  • Limit Repeating Messages - Stops displaying duplicate messages when the quantity exceeds the value of Set Message Repeat Limit.

  • Set Message Repeat Limit - Displays the Set Display Limit dialog box, where you set the number of duplicate messages to repeat.

Batch Run

Checks the input data, analyzes the system, and presents the results without any additional actions from you.

The software assumes that the load cases associated with the current job do not need to change, and that the default account number (if accounting is active) is correct. These criteria are usually met after the first pass through the analysis.

During error checking, the software reviews the CAESAR II model and alerts you to any possible errors, inconsistencies, or noteworthy items. These items display in a grid as errors, warnings, or notes.
