My question is with regards to the FEA translation feature in CII 2017/18:

I used it in my recent calculation where among all kinds of normal connections there is also one lateral pipe to pipe connection.
after I converted the calculation using both B31J and FEA methods I figured all code dictated data was replaced by calculated ones except for the lateral connection in both outputs; to my surprise, the FEA calculations (branch and header) of that connection had been done and were available in the same calculation folder. I just wonder why these data was not implemented in the calculation.
and by the way, as I checked the FEA calculations for the connection, I spotted that the design pressure assumed in the branch and header files are different and neither is consistent with the pressure in the original CII file.

regards,
