MoverZ,
Follow-up question, What is the right pratice when dealing with trunnion? Suppose I will model trunnion, then i don't have any resources to undergo finite analysis in order to provide SIF, do I need to check the checkbox for SIF's & TEE's and select type of TEE's in CAESAR II spread sheet,or just leave it blank?
In your own explaination, Is it right to select reinforced fabricated Tee for trunnion just for the sake of convenience in order to check a stress including dummy pipe portion in the piping system?
