Subsea pressure is defined as: P = Pi - Pe

P will be put in hoop stress equation P*D/(2t) for code check. As I know, by defining wave, CII will calculate Pe to implement the (Pi-Pe) term in the hoop equation

For hydrotest case as defined by Project: P = 1.25*(Pi-Pe) = 1.25*Pi - 1.25*Pe

The value 1.25*Pi can be input in Classical Input. And there is no change in wave data, I think CII will calculate Pe only. The 1.25*(Pi-Pe) term is required for Hoop stress calculation

My question: how to tell CII to calculate 1.25*Pe?

Unfortunately you can't.

Sorry but no. This has never come up before. To address this will require a program modification.
