Thanks for your reply
I checked the mentioned case ,you had mentioned the code requirments as followings:
You just can't use f=1.2, there are some checks to be made. The Code allows "f" to go to 1.2 if:
(a) the material is ferrous - CAESAR II can't check this one, you have to
(b) the min tensile strength does not exceed 75 ksi, - CAESAR II can't check this one, you have to
(c) the temperature is less than 700 degF.
If you exceed any of these, "f" is limited to 1.0. CAESAR II can only enforce the temperature limit, so my guess is that your over this
But dose the load cycle has any effect here???
