Hey,

I'm fairly new to CAESAR and would like some information about the stress range analysis in 13480 12.3.4-1/2.

When a single element is none code compliant for 12.3.4-1, does CAESAR II default to using 12.3.4-2 for the entire analysis? Checking the allowables in the max stress range case it appears that way.

If so is there an option to only analyse for 12.3.4-1?

Cheers,

AB

Yes - back in the input for the model, pull up the "Special Execution Parameter" dialog and UNCHECK the option for "Liberal Stress Allowable".
