I have read the CII manual also Peng's work about UG stress analysis, question is, how does CII determine the distribution of restraint on the bend? On the previous system that I've done the restraints are much scattered on the bend, on this new system it is the concentration of restraints on every bend that causes the system to fail during thermal expansion. I'm thinking that I must have made an error on my input that's why I'd like to get opinions if the concentration of restraints on bend in UG lines are normal.
Thanks,
