This course is available in self-paced and classroom formats. 

Prerequisites and level

• A basic understanding of static pipe stress analysis is required.

• Level: Advanced

Intended For

This course is designed for:

• Pipe stress engineers who want to understand dynamic stress assessment for piping systems,
• Users of CaesarII and other pipe stress software that have experience with static analysis,
• Pipe stress engineers that want to expand their knowledge into dynamic assessments,
• Those conducting dynamic stress assessments who want to deepen their understanding.

This course is available in self-paced, hybrid, and classroom formats.

Prerequisites and level

• Basic understanding of piping systems.
• Basic user knowledge of the CaesarII software.
• Level: Intermediate

Intended For:

This course is designed for:

• Pipe stress engineers involved with buried piping systems in industrial environments,
• Those involved in the design, installation, or maintenance of buried piping systems.

Access to the self-paced course

After your purchase is confirmed you receive an account to the EngineeringTrainer online learning portal, where you can find the course in your dashboard. After opening the course you will be guided step-by-step through the different modules. You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course, allowing for the repetition of modules as desired.

Learn by doing

The self-paced course is mainly based on video content: video lectures and video software demonstrations. English subtitles are available and videos can be viewed as many times as desired. The video lectures help you to grasp the important technical concepts and in the video demonstrations, the instructor uses the software and discusses all the steps and actions. You are recommended to follow the steps of the instructor in the software to optimize your learning curve.

The classroom course is performed in person either on-site or in the Dynaflow Research Group office located in Rijswijk, The Netherlands. This course enables you to be face-to-face with the instructors with live examples provided. This course also provides all participants with a 1-year access to the self-paced course.

Exercises are available in the form of multiple-choice quizzes to help you grasp technical concepts and in the form of .pdf files with instructions to build and analyze different models and answer related questions. Video demonstrations of the exercises are available

Participants of the self-paced course receive a personal digital certificate if they meet the following requirements:

• Completion of each course module
• Filling in the course evaluation survey

Participants of the classroom course receive a personal physical certificate upon the completion of the course.

Example certificate:

After this course, participants are expected to:

• Understand the different dynamic analysis techniques used by pipe stress software,
• Have seen numerous examples of how these techniques are applied to assess pipe vibrations,
• Are familiar with the theory and concepts behind modal analysis, time history analysis, harmonic analysis and spectrum analysis,
• Can judge which technique is most suitable for your situation.
