Salad 1.20

New and Improved Version has arrived!

Pipe stress engineers looking for a faster way to work with data can now experience an easier and faster version of Salad, the Postprocessor for CAESAR II®.  Key features include: 

  • User-friendly Input Screen

Although Salad uses an easy to learn scripting language, you will no longer be confronted with it unless you choose to.  Instead use standard text fields and drop-down menus to enter data, with help available for each input.

  • New Energy Institute Guidelines Method for Acoustic Vibration

Salad offers you the pain-free way to carry out AIV checks, especially when dealing with multiple valves such as modelling an Emergency Blowdown scenario.  You can now keep up with current practices using the EI Guidelines method (formerly known as the MTD Guidelines).  The existing 'D/t' method has also been retained and refined along the lines of NORSOK L-002. 

  • Speed Improvements

We've architected some big increases in speed to help you get things done faster.  Tests on a large flare system model found that the Acoustically Induced Vibration script now runs more than 20 times faster !

  • Built-in Scripts

Xtrados scripts are now easily accessible simply by choosing New->Script from the File menu. If you'd like to customise scripts for your own purposes that can be done as well - just unlock the script using password 'Xtrados', and choose 'Edit' from the Script menu.  You can save your script as a User Template or simply as a normal '.sal' Salad file.
