Hello -

I am working on modeling an HDD for a client and I noticed that SIFs are not being taken into account on the 6D induction bends that are used to tie the HDD back into the cross country pipe.

I don't see where the type of bend is taken into account on CAESAR II so I don't think this could be an instance where the code differs between an induction bend or a forged fitting. Should the SIFs be greater than 1 in this particular instance? And if so is there a way to get CAESAR II to calculate the SIF or is this something that needs to be completed by hand and the code stress should be re-calculated?

Thanks in advance.
