In a network, opening and closing of one valve will be very frequent and as a result of that in that particular region the temperature and Pressure will also change. Fo far I know, CAESAR considers f value (in the formula of Allowable Stress Range) as 1. Here in my case the number of cycles that I need to consider is more than 7000. Is there any way to select the f value manually? One option that I know is that I can calculate the Allowable stress range manually and that value can be given selection a non-standard material. Is there any other option to do the same?
