Apply a Template
You can apply an existing template to a new piping model. All the selections made while creating a
template are applied to the new model along with the annotation preferences. You can apply a template
to a piping model only if a stress Iso file associated to the model does not already exist. To apply an
annotation template to a new model.
1. Select File > Open to open a model.
2. On the Home tab, click Generate Stress Isometrics to open the model in the C2Isogen module.

6. The Feature list displays all the input features available in CAESAR II. Depending on the feature you
select a list of nodes associated to the feature is displayed.
7. Click the check boxes in the Select column if you want to include the information associated to the
node or element in your drawing. For example, select Node Numbers in the Feature list, and then
select nodes 110 and 115. Annotations for the selected node numbers are added to the model and are
visible in the display area.
Adding annotations for output features
Similar to the input features, CAESAR II file saves the result data after you analyze a model. The Output
tab lists the load cases used for the stress analysis and classifies them as Displacement, Restraint, and
Stresses induced in the model for each case. You can make this result data available in the drawing by
selecting nodes and elements displayed for the result type.
To add annotations for output features:
1. Select the Output tab to view the load cases used for stress analysis.
Pgina 14 de 18
2. The Load Cases list displays a list of load cases used in the analysis, the results generated for each
load case are listed in the Results box. You can view a list of nodes or elements for each result set
and then select nodes and elements you want to annotate. Let us consider Load Case 3 and then select
elements 75-80 and 110-115 for Stress. You can now view the annotations for the selected elements
in the display area.
1. Similarly, select Elemental Annotations tab to view the list of elements in the model and add your
remarks in the User Annotation cell associated to the element you want to annotate. Here we add a
note for element 75-80.
2. Click the User Annotations cell associated to element 75-80 and type This is a custom
annotation for element 75-80.
The custom annotations you add are not shown in the display area and can be viewed only in the drawing.
You cannot view these changes in the display area, the changes you made are updated when you create a
drawing
3. Similarly, select all the nodes or elements of other input features that you want to include.
4. Select Settings tab to specify a text box shape for the input feature you selected in the earlier part of
this tutorial. Let us select Filleted Rectangle for the Restraint/hanger types feature.
5. Select StressIso > Save Template to save your selections as a template. A template file with .ist
extension is saved in the model folder.
Applying a template
After you create and save a template, you can apply this template to your piping models. When you select
all the nodes of a feature to create a template, that input feature gets selected when you apply the template
to a new piping model. You can clear the selections if you do not want to display all the nodes or elements
of the input feature included in a template.
This part of the tutorial directs you on how to apply a saved template to a piping model. You can apply a
template to a piping model only if the model is not already annotated and the stress iso file (.iso) associated
to the model does not exist.
To apply a template to a new model:
1. Select Start > Intergraph CAS > CAESAR II > CAESAR II.
2. Select File > Open.
3. On the Open dialog box, click the Examples button on the right side.
This opens the Examples folder.
4. Select Jacket.c2 from the file list, and then click Open.
5. On the Home tab, click Generate Stress Isometrics to open the model in the C2Isogen module.
6. Select StressIso > Apply Annotation, and then select a template file.
7. Select StressIso > Annotation to view the selections you made while creating the template in the
display area.
