https://docs.hexagonali.com/r/en-US/CAESAR-II-Quick-Reference/Version-14/857380

CAESAR II 2018 delivers a number of significant new and extended capabilities in the following typically noted:

Improved the clarity and functionality of the Delete option in the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor. When you delete load cases in the Static Analysis - Load Case Editor, the Load Case Delete Confirmation window displays the load cases (and their dependents) that are deleted or revised. Remaining load cases are renumbered.
Redesigned the user interface for the API 610 equipment module to improve functionality and usability. (Quick input and viewing of API 610 pumps, Load Case Sets tab lets you quickly define load cases and load case sets with suction and discharge nozzles, Analysis of multiple load cases and multiple pumps, Ability to update loads when the results of an imported and linked pipe stress analysis change, Comprehensive easy-to-read output results on the Output tab.)
Updated the CAESAR II installation wizard to include steps to install the B31J Essentials product from Paulin Research Group (PRG). B31J Essentials provides a set of calculations for revised SIFs and flexibility factors, as defined in the revision to ASME B31J, Stress Intensification Factors (i-Factors), Flexibility Factors (k-Factors) and their Determination for Metallic Piping Components. The B31J Essentials product is included with the latest version of CAESAR II and provides users with the ability to use PRG's FEATools application to perform the empirical B31J calculations.
Expanded the Restraints auxiliary panel with two additional restraint definitions to support SIX degrees of freedom in classic piping input.
Enhanced the 3D mode so that multiple hangers display separately with leaders at the location of the hanger when you use Options > Hangers. Previously, the software only displayed one hanger symbol on a model when you had multiple hangers at the same location.
Redesigned the user interface for the API 610 equipment module to improve functionality and usability. (Quick input and viewing of API 610 pumps, Load Case Sets tab lets you quickly define load cases and load case sets with suction and discharge nozzles, Analysis of multiple load cases and multiple pumps, Ability to update loads when the results of an imported and linked pipe stress analysis change, Comprehensive easy-to-read output results on the Output tab.)
Added new Tag and GUID columns to the Restraints list input. These fields reflect the new capability of the software to read and import support ID and display-only support GUID data from PCF files. It helps piping designer to identify the revision in managing the latest design.
Added the Element Name field to the Piping Input window and to the Elements list input. Element names also display in force reports, stress output reports, and stress isometric drawings.
The software allows you to customize the mapping options for attributes in the PCF file. You can map the attribute definitions from the NAME or TAG attributes to the Tag field in restraint mapping. You can also display tag and GUID data in annotations in stress isometric drawings.
Added support for KHK Level II seismic analysis using bend plasticity subjected to extremely high inertia and displacement at large earthquake. This is the Japanese local rule, not specified in ASME B31 nor EN code.
AND MORE.

“Must Use” Piping Input Features

CAESAR II comes built in with many user-friendly and solution-provided features that help you to generate an accurate model for your piping needs. The Classic Piping Input is comprised of multiple input panels, which allow the creation or review of piping components. In addition, recent versions of CAESAR II include many new time-saving functions in the displayed toolbars, including:
