Dear All,

First time am trying wrc in caesar and have some doubts. can u please clarify? Also please find the report attached for detail.(its made for test purpose only)

1. in wrc 107 we could get the result whether passing / failing whereas in wrc 297 report same not shown.

How to check that stresses are within limits in case of wrc 297?

2. do we need to check the button "include pressure stress indices per div 2".

When to check this button and can anyone please explain its effect?

For some people these questions may look very basic. Hope I will get the positive response & hope not to get the typical reply like search the forum and search the net.

Thanks in Advance
Regards
Shan

The pressure indices are for fatigue analyses only. WRC107 in Caesar II uses ASME Section VIII Div 2 for the load combinations and allowables. We haven't done that with WRC297 yet.
