Hey All!

I have a question; how do you incorperate chapter IX of ASME B31.3 into Caesar II? I am currently working in version 5.0 with a high pressure system (820 bar design pressure). The material being used is A790 S31803. I have set 'Occational Load factor' to 20% according to chapter IX in Configuration Setup. I have also activeted the Bourdon Pressure Effect in Special exicution parameter.
My largest concern at this moment is why my allowable stresses for occational loads is less that my basic allowable stress? I am afraid that I might have done some settings that will affect the alowable stresses, but I am not experienced enough to know this.

Could somebody give me some advice in this matter, please?

Thanks a bunch in advance
Kat
