I have a problem with PVElite Circumferential joint efficiency consideration.
I modeled a cylinder with longitudinal joint efficiency = 1.0 and circumferential joint efficiency =0.3 and I expected, UG-27 C-2 formulation is used for cylinder thickness calculation (cir. joint eff. Less than one half of lon. joint eff.) but PVElite consider UG-27 C-1 fot this calculation. According to ASME UG-27 C-2 formulation give me larger thickness.
How PVElite consider cir. joint eff.??
