I just hope you're not checking stresses for "Operating Cases" for B31.3.If that's the case, then you'll see zero stresses as Code doesn't define allowable (equstions) for that.If you want to check stresses in operating condition then use Appendix P which gives equations for Operating Stresses too!!!

Check this previous post on this same subject.

(This particular post is a "sticky topic" near the top of the Forum, so it is easy to find.)
