Piping Input menu: Tools > Import/Export Displacements from File

Imports or exports nodal displacements from a file.

The software allows you to import and export displacements to and from a flat .disp text file. This feature is very useful in situations where you need to define several displacements in a CAESAR II model. You can import the displacements into a model with a few mouse clicks instead of manually typing all the displacements in the Classic Piping Input. A displacements file in the specified format must exist.

This feature works on the From and To nodes, CNodes, and Bend middle nodes in either the fixed ASCII file format (.disp), or the comma separated value (.csv) format. For information on editing ASCII text, see ASCII Text File Rules. You can easily generate and maintain a displacement file in .csv format using Microsoft Excel™.
