Introduction to ProAS-CII software: Model effects after SP3D conversion and PCF processing; Model effects after PDMS conversion and PCF processing. 1.1 Overview: ProAS-CII is an engineering software designed to assist with pipeline stress analysis. It is primarily used for handling the PCF files, .CII files, and .N files related to stress calculations in CAESARII, SP3D, and PDMS software. It enables batch modeling of pipelines, and after conversion, it can export pipeline properties as well as the weights of valves and flanges to the CAESARII software； As well as establishing equipment stress models and assisting with various business processes related to stress analysis, such as the statistical compilation of data on springs, expansion joints, and flexible hoses, which greatly improves the efficiency of stress analysis work. 1.2 Software Advantages and Features 1.2.1 After reading the pipeline data table, the software can classify pipeline stress lines in accordance with the company’s standardized regulations for pipeline stress, and it is also capable of updating and comparing the original pipeline stress line data ； 1.2.2 After processing the stress interface file, a pipeline stress model can be established quickly and accurately. It is capable of processing PCF files generated by the SP3D software, allowing all pipeline-related data to be loaded into it – such as temperature, pressure, insulation and density, material and density, as well as the weight of valves and flanges. The stress model data resulting from this processing is more comprehensive and accurate ； It can also handle the interface files between PDMS and CAESARII software, and perfectly load the necessary stress data, which is one of the advantages of this software ； 1.2.3 It enables the establishment of equipment stress models and allows for rapid simulation of such stress models, which is the second major advantage of this software ； 1.2.4 It can assist with various business processes related to stress analysis, such as calculating data for pipe end loads, springs, expansion joints, and flexible hoses, performing statistics and summarizing the results in data tables, as well as tracking the workload associated with stress analysis and generating diagrams of stress-bearing pipelines ； 1.2.5 Query function for some data required for stress analysis. II. ProAS-CII Software Function Modules 2.1 Introduction to Existing Function Modules 2.1.1 Project folder management module. A folder for the project can be created; once established, it enables organized management of files and facilitates searching, etc ； 2.1.2 Read the pipeline data table module for each engineering company. The pipeline data after reading can be queried and used for all subsequent functions ； 2.1.3 Manage and divide the functional modules of stress pipelines. It can divide stress pipelines, update and read pipeline stress critical systems, and create folders based on pipeline numbers ； 2.1.4 Processing function module for PCF files extracted by the SP3D software. After processing, all the data can be loaded into the CAESARII software; for example, temperature, pressure, insulation and density, material and density, valve flange weight, etc., can be imported. The stress model data obtained after processing is more comprehensive and accurate, and it can be used directly, which is very convenient ； 2.1.5 Function module for processing PDMS and CAESARII interface files. Similar to the processing of the aforementioned PCF files, all data can be loaded perfectly; the stress model data obtained after processing is more comprehensive and accurate, and it can be used directly, which is very convenient ； 2.1.6 Function module for establishing the equipment stress model. This feature enables the creation of device stress models and allows for rapid simulation of such models; it is the second most important function of this software ； 2.1.7 Nozzle load function module. It is possible to query the load on pipe openings, convert it, and generate data tables; higher versions allow for comparative analysis of load data ； 2.1.8 Module for batch reading of spring data. This feature allows for batch reading of spring data, which can then be summarized into a spring summary table for use in construction, procurement, and other purposes ； 2.1.9 Stress software plotting function module. With this functionality configured, the processed pipeline stress model can generate a finished pipeline diagram; higher versions allow all desired elements to be included, including the type of support structure and the applied loads ； 2.1.10 Statistics functions for expansion joints and flexible metal hoses. This feature allows for the statistics and aggregation of data related to expansion joints and metal hoses, which can be compiled into tables for use in subsequent construction and procurement activities ； Higher versions will automatically generate diagrams and tables ； 2.1.11 Data query function module. Linear displacement calculation and wall thickness lookup, as well as functions for checking the weight of valves and flanges ； 2.1.12 Pipeline stress workload statistics function. 2.2 Introduction to Functional Modules to be Developed 2.2.1 A function for reading material data sheets that can be customized by engineering companies is available; this data can be used for functions that will be implemented in the future ； 2.2.2 Analysis and comparison of pipeline stress calculation results; for example, the calculation results can be automatically compared and analyzed to select the optimal outcome ； 2.2.3 The jacket pipeline model creation and simulation function enables automatic association of nodes, and this is also one of the advantages of the software ； 2.2.4 Perform corrections on the.CII model or handle data loading; it is planned that this functionality will be used in the future to process the interface files of the AutoPipe software ； 2.2.5 Finally, the engineering company can customize functions suitable for its own specialty.
