CAESAR II, the world's most widely used pipe stress analysis software, provides users a fast and customizable interface with Intergraph's market-leading plant, offshore and material handling design solutions, SmartPlant^® 3D, SmartMarine^® 3D and SmartPlant 3D Materials Handling Edition, collectively known as Smart 3D, and SmartPlant^® Review, Intergraph's problem-solving 3D visualization tool. CAESAR II also provides seamless integration with CADWorx^®, Intergraph's AutoCAD^®-based plant design solution.  

These interfaces allow for the easy import and export of pipe stress analysis results between CAESAR II and Smart 3D, SmartPlant Review or CADWorx for faster incorporation of analysis changes during a project design, allowing designers and engineers to share information seamlessly in a collaborative work environment. This can identify and reduce errors, reduce project risk and save time and expense for all stakeholders.

"CAESAR II continues to provide comprehensive pipe stress analysis codes, enhanced engineering analysis applications for global engineering solutions, advanced modeling tools, and seamless integration between CAESAR II and our Smart 3D, SmartPlant Review and CADWorx plant design solutions," said Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine's executive vice president of global business development and marketing. "This information sharing between the pipe stress engineer and piping designer reduces errors and lowers customers' capital expenditures."
