CSI CSiPlant 8.0.0 Build 1220 (x64) | 463.1 Mb
CSiPlant is an integrated engineering software product for analysis and design of piping systems and frame structures, including piping code compliance checks with stress-intensification and flexibility factors that are automatically calculated and applied.
CSiPlant offers advanced analysis technology to piping and structural engineers working in the process, power, pipeline and offshore industries.
CSiPlant uses elements, pipe support types, and modeling approaches familiar to piping and structural engineers in the process and power industries.
Drawing Capabilities
Piping and structural frame models can be rapidly created and modified using CAD-like drafting tools which snap to objects, grid intersections and global axes. In addition, CSiPlant offers automatic alphanumeric labeling of node points and elements, intuitive Insert and Assign commands, and keyboard shortcuts, enabling engineers to utilize a variety of modeling options to quickly build, modify, and review their analysis models.
Pipe Supports
Pipe supports include Anchors, Guides, Line Stops, Vertical Stops, Rod Hangers, Snubbers, and Spring Hangers.

Link Elements
CSiPlant offers multiple “link” element types to connect different points such that specialized structural behavior may be modeled. Linear and nonlinear properties can be assigned to each of the six degrees-of-freedom to define force-deformation relationships.

Nonlinear Load Sequencing
CSiPlant offers unlimited nonlinear load sequencing, also known as path-dependent loading, which considers the order of the loading. Since friction acts in different directions during startup vs. shutdown and other load states, sequenced loading, including sequenced thermal loading and unloading, is often needed to determine worst case reactions and stresses.
System Requirments:
Processor: Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64
Recommended: 9th generation Intel Core i5/i7/i9, AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 with Zen 2 architecture, or better desktop CPU
A 64-bit CPU is required
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 10 or 11 (64 bit)
Video Card
Minimum: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution
Recommended: Discrete video card with NVIDIA GPU or equivalent and dedicated graphics RAM (512 Mb or larger) for DirectX graphics mode. The card must be DirectX 11 Compatible.
DirectX graphics mode fully utilizes the hardware acceleration provided by a GPU and dedicated graphics RAM.
For better graphics quality in terms of anti-aliasing and line thickness, the device raster drawing capabilities should support legacy depth bias.
Memory: Minimum: 8 GB RAM
The problem size that can be solved and the speeds for solution & response recovery increase considerably with more RAM.
Disk Space: 6 GB to install the software.
Additional space will be required for running and storing model files and analysis results, dependent upon the size of the models. Recommended: 500GB or larger PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD). External and network drives are not recommended.
