Import Caesar II model

I would like to import a Caesar II model. However, I was not able to. I asked for Bentley's tech support help, but I was directed to look at 'Import a Caesar II Neutral (CII) File' from AutoPIPE's help. It is just a general guide. There were a few items to perform task from Caesar II program side. For example, the unit must be in Metric and the density to be set to 1 in metric unit file *.c2u. My piping engineer said Caesar II file does not have any fie with *.c2u extension. So, it appears, importing Caesar II file from AutoPIPE is a dead end.

There is another link, https://bentleysystems.service-now.com/community?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=3a23d5c91b75ca90f3fc5287624bcbf9

This link in Bentley Communities says, you can import Caesar II file v12 or lower. However, we do not keep/use this lower version anymore.


It appears it is a dead end and we have been using Caesar II for a long time. I suggest Bentley has a program whereby a user can import any Caesar II file without the need to perform any work from Caesar II side. This can be a tremendous boost of AutoPIPE users if you have this import feature functioning.
