COADE and ASD to Integrate CAESAR II for Pipe Stress Analysis and ASD Pipe Support Optimizer

COADE, Inc. and ASD Global announced a collaborative initiative to provide an integrated approach to pipe support placement by allowing COADE CAESAR II and ASD Pipe Support Optimizer (ASD PSO) to work together. This product-level integration will allow ASD PSO to automatically place pipe supports into the CAESAR II pipe model for seamless and more efficient analysis.

The capabilities within ASD PSO are designed to automatically locate and select logical pipe supports for a piping design. The output from ASD PSO will greatly benefit both designers and engineers by allowing support information to be automatically passed to CAESAR II for stress analysis and, because of the seamless bi-directional links between CAESAR II and COADE CADWorx Plant, designers can quickly optimize support locations in the design, thereby maintaining the integrity of both the engineering and design.

This collaboration will allow designers and engineers, equipped with both COADE CAESAR II and ASD PSO, to streamline their work processes by automating the selection of pipe supports for all major load cases prior to the detailed pipe stress analysis. This initiative brings value during the FEED and detail design stages of a project by reducing the iterative process for support selection and stress analysis. In today’s challenging environment, COADE and ASD are working closely together to deliver greater value and increased productivity to their customers.
