1 Introduction

1.1 About this User Guide

This document provides guidance to the piping/stress engineer on how to create and configure stress groups using the Pipe Stress Interface (PSI) application. It is assumed that the

piping/stress engineer has a basic understanding of the PDMS software.

This manual assumes that you are working with PDMS 11.6. PSI can work with PDMS 11.5, but you will need to read the PSI 11.6 User Guide for PDMS 11.5 instead.

1.2 Overview of the PSI application

The PSI application allows you to create stress groups from existing pipe lines within the PDMS Design application. When a stress group has been created the PSI application will create a CAESAR II CII format file, which can be selected in CAESAR II and converted to a CAESAR II

_A format file. The stress engineer can then perform stress calculations on the transferred

stress group.

Once the stress engineer has finished the analysis; he can create a report file (with extension

.out) and a CAESAR II neutral file showing the modified pipe. These files can be then be imported back into PDMS to assist the piping engineer update the PDMS model to match.
